d16 turbo ?
Hi, I just joined this club and I have 95 dx stock model, I don't want to swap for b16 because of budget wise but I will like to turbo the stock motor. How much hp and psi can I get out of it and basic mods can do to it without have to invest too much money ? Is this also a good idea?

you can reach the 200hp mark but having your engine in perfect condition is a must. your psi all depends on what size turbo you are going to use. A decent tune is also key. The price will reflect the quality of parts you purchase. I'd say the range your looking at could start from $1500 and run you up to $4000, like i said its a rough estimate it all depends on what you buy really.

I'm burning and it has about 90000 kms, if that's bad would replacing the cams fix and how much roughly in cost to rebuild or would I be better off saving for a b16 swap? THX for your quick responses ! I'm not too patient.

burning oil at 90,000?? rings sound like they could be gone. im not to sure what a rebuild would cost for basic oem parts. The fun i have had with a turbo is just amazing and a really good learning experience. What is your budget, and what motor do you have in your car right now?

$2500 would get your d16 boosted...if it blows d16s are only a few hundred bucks and easy to swap in....but I doubt it'll blow if you get a good tune.
My b16 has like 200,000+kms on it and its been boosted for over 2 years now.

I'm piecing my turbo together and it seems like everything is gonna cost me just under 2000$ again as previously stated, depends what parts you buy and if you find good deals. I'd say either boost now and replace your motor with another d16 later or get a motor and boost that. You could pick up a d16z6 quite cheap.
And for psi, it all depends on the turbo size, 10psi on gt25 and 10psi on gt35 is a huge difference.
I've driven fast n/a cars and few boosted cars and I got to tell you, boost is a lot of fun.

JazzyJay, it all depends on what kind of power the op is looking for. A stock motor is fine on a gt25 or 14b at 10psi or so without any motor work as long as the motor is running fine and its got a headgasket spacer. Still more power than stock b series, and don't need to do internals just yet, as long as he gets a good tune.

I was running 12 psi on my stock LS/VTEC with no engine work done. I just had a good tune on the car, and i was making just under 215 WHP.

I was gunna say....I did a stock LSvtec on 11psi that made 315whp. Very basic setup too, with a cast iron turbo manifold, t3/t4 57 trim, 2.5" exhaust, recirculated dump tube, stock engine with head studs tuned with Neptune.
B-series engines can handle a lot more power than d-series engines though. I'd say 250whp would be pushing the limits of a stock d-series engine. The connecting rods in those engines are tiny. People push 350whp on their stock b-series engines.

Yeah true, but reason why I said all those things was because I guess it's to be more on the safer side...but yeah it all depends on how much power.
