most people turbo the 1600 vtec, apparently the stad ecu and map sensor sees upto 7psi boost and so can be remaped to suit

According to my knowledge i think that My guess is that many car manufacturers can be used as such a project suitable donors, but people will get a better choice of services Honda, Mazda, Toyota, Ford, Kia, GM and Chrysler over, although it is not to say Saturn 4-cylinder will not work very well, just do not want any old Iron Duke / phenanthroline or more garbage like General Motors.

I'm a member of www.hondacivicforum.co.uk, that seems a reasonable source of information so far. There's a couple of turbocharged cars on there.

I shouldn't think it would be too hard to pick up a turbo exhaust manifold. I've seen cast turbo manifolds for the D-series engine for less than Ł100. I'm sure you could utilise the turbo from another car and fabricate downpipe and things. Then obviously just need to plum everything in and work out the ECU.

I must say, I wouldn't mind turboing the D16 vtec in my coupe, but I've already got one project

civiclife is the best forum for us, get a b18c4 from a mb6, while your there get the s80 lsd box too! get the whole cars for less than Ł800, rickys made over 400bhp on a standard not modifed b18c4!!... when i turbo'd my b16a2 it was piss to work on! apart from the bitch pin on the gearlinkage.

to4e turbo
38mm externalgate
crome management on socketed ecu
fmic
2.5" front exit or exhaust
air filter
dsm or similar injectors
255 pump
adjustable fuel reg
wont even need to change clutch due to not alot of torque!

and a good map! on a

1.4-1.5 sohc non vtec you can make 220 odd

d16z6-300-330

b16a2-300-350

b18c4-350-450

Honda B18s can handle 400 BHP in standard form with no problem. U see Honda heads flow very well and strong enough with a compliment on large turbo, and a good mood and u can make some impressive power. People have seen over 1000 hp on the standard Honda blocks. This is something that has not taken the most here in England, and nobody really builds, but we do in the countries I can promise u car Nathan is very fast at 7 psi and eat over all of our 3 teams roll the second velocity.
