boosting D16Y8
so i am thinking of boosting my D16Y8 AUTOMATIC 4dr. now i know auto is not ideal choice for turbo, but just for fun i would like to do it.
turbo is gonna be something like a home made kit put together, i am not on budget or anything, i just want to do it for fun, I dont want to have the best of the parts out there. But one thing i do want is, reliability since its a daily driven car and maybe around 180whp or something on stock internals etc.
i am looking to spend around 2500-3000 for parts/labor/tuning
is it possible, what will be some of the major issues i will have to deal with here?
PS: zeeman have you ever worked with auto/turbo setup??

tuning is a must, which you are already talking to zeeman so you have that covered. Y8's are brutal for oil, make sure your pump is working well or kiss the engine goodbye. Also injectors and pump will come into play, make sure you give enough fuel, some people dont bother to add a stronger pump, but i mean if it fits within your budget, you may as well play it safe. I think 180hp is a good safe range for the y8 given the engine is in decent shape.
How many kms on that engine?

the auto tranny will have a hard time not breaking.
I've seen a b-series auto tranny slip like crazy at 180whp, so the customer had the auto stuff pulled out and replaced with a 5-speed setup.
It can be done, Neptune can control auto ecus pretty well (whereas crome can't) but you'll be plagued with auto tranny issues and the lack of aftermarket support.

from another forums on auto/turbo
"u can boost how ever high u like... my advice if u plan on keeping the auto... once u start getting to the 10lbs and up u are gonna need a high stall torque converter... When i was gonna boost my cb7 auto, thats what i needed, then i sold it and got a 6th gen. The stall is so low on the stock converter, you will never see boost and the times u do, you will have to prolly floor it, thats why they say its bad to boost autos, the high revving to see boost destroys the tranny a bit...
U can get them for about $500 or even have urs rebuilt for the high stall for less but the install is gonna run u a good amount more"

yes u can turbo a d15b2, i've seen it done and worked fine
u do however have to install a 3rd injector in the piping before the dual point box, (think its called a cold start injector) it should be able to handle 8 psi. i've seen stock motors handle 12 - 15 to be honest, but thats because they are tuned absolutely perfect
theres a guy out here with an EK sedan, stock motor, with ac, running 15 pounds, and automatic... it runs 13.1 on radials
very very nice. but he's running the greddy e-manage to tune it as well which is a good idea IMO, however his FMU ****ed up sunday, so hes eliminating that as he was running way 2 rich with it

if you too lazy to shift in traffic, a turbo setup is to much work for you, auto conversions are dumb, sell it to someone that wants an auto and get a stick.

is t3 50 trim .48 a/r to big for 1.6?? or will it be good for my D basically fast spool and good high end pull.
BTW: manual conversion is in works, getting parts and should be done in 2 weeks.
also is : T3 same as T3/T4 or T3/TO4E or T3/T4E

a t3 is a decent sized turbo for a d16y8 IMO, especially if its a .48 a/r 50 trim
a t3/t4 is a hybrid turbo composed of a t3 and a t4.
a t3/t4E means that the t4 side has the t4E specs
a t3/t04e means that the t4 side has the t04e specs

ya, i'm at the shop full-time.
Keep looking you'll find a t3. I'm not a huge fan of the mitsu turbos (14b, 16g) on hondas personally myself. But i'd say a 16g would prolly be the closest thing to a t3 50 trim .48 a/r
