Hello,
I am new to this site, I have been trying to get some help from other sites for about 2 weeks now and haven't gotten a single reply yet, hopefully this site will be quicker and better suited for my needs.
I have a 97 hatchback with a rebuilt d16y7, and the acura 5spd transmission.
I love the car, but I want it to go faster.
I drove a 94 z28 since I got my licence, but it finally started having issues, and instead of spending money on it I traded it for this honda, maintaining what I already had in it.
I want to turbo it, putting maybe a max of 6 PSI on it, trying to hit 200whp, I dont want anything outrageous, as it is still my daily.
I am trying to decide if I should buy an ebay turbo kit, and if so if anyone here has a specific one they would recommend I would appreciate it,
Or buy a used kit from a guy who pulled a TD04 from his Mitsubishi, I could get his turbo, the exhaust manifold from the Mitsubishi which I dont think I need, the down pipe, an aftermarket blowoff valve, and the oil feed and return lines. All for $160, or $400 if I get a Mishimoto intercooler he has, but I'm sure I could get one cheaper online.
So would I be better off spending the extra money to get a complete kit specifically designed for my car, or piecing my own kit together from this guy and online?
And for the d16y7, for the maybe 6psi of boost, would I need to get a new ECU, injectors, or anything extra like that? Or would my ecu be tunable and the stock injectors work fine?
