Is it the y7 or y8? Difference is vtec or non vtec. Either way you will have a less than desirable oil pump in this D series block. The bottom end of the D series can handle around 150whp stock. For some, that’s more than enough. You will need a good tune and make sure your air/fuel systems are upgraded or you will run into serious issues. Do not skimp or cut any corners and you will have reliable turbo D.

Spend less money and get a B16A motor swap. It will give you about the same HP increase, and you will always be able to upgrade for more power later. Once you turbo the D16 motor its pretty much maxed out for power potential without completly building the internals.

yes u can run a stock d16 turbo…just keep the boost low like 6 psi…but i have seen some d16’s running up to 12 psi stock engine…..u boost any higher and boom…u will snap a rod and have a hole on ur block iv seen it happen…the most i would go is 7psi running the engine a little rich to protect it from detonation….right now im running an integra ls with stock motor with 10 psi and i have been a little greedy and pushed it to 15 psi at the track…but that was only once
