@@TURBOTRISTO this is what I have so far. Y8 VTEC head, 75mm Wiseco forged pistons, Maxpeeding forged rods, 550cc injectors, Skunk2 pro series intake manifold, ramshorn exhaust manifold, Gt40-10r T4 turbo, 70mm throttle body, 31x12x4 intercooler with 3 inch flanges, Blowoff valve and 50mm waste gate, Walbro 255 already in the tank, dual 3 port control valves for the wastegate and a Speeduino ECU to run it all.

Hello I have question on how you did the welding in this video. One, is the plug made of aluminum? Two, what metal is your pan made of? Three, what rod did you use for the weld? I do know aluminum and steel do not weld to one another; so how did you weld the plug to the pan and what rod did you use?
Great video!!! However, I have just one thing I have to criticize you about… NEVER allow the pull strings on your hoodie and/or any other loose clothing to dangle like that while peering over and into the motor!!! If one of those strings were to get caught up in one of the pulleys you would be injured for sure. I know that you weren’t hanging all that far down but it’s still a good practice to not allow hanging strings and such. Same goes with metal rings on your fingers, as well. It only takes one time to become complacent and it’s game over!!! I just want to make sure you’re safe, my friend. Cheers from Texas, mi amigo!!!
Hey man my little brother lives in Texas ! Yeah you are 100% right it’s a little bit of a trick of the eye one a couple of my videos the strings look like they are really close but I’m 6’3” and when I lean over an engine bay it’s a fair distance away but you are 100% correct best practice is to ditch the strings, like who even pulls the hoodie tight any way??

Just to bring up the turbo sizing on the d series, I agree a td04 is the perfect size, but in my opinion, anything smaller isn’t really toooo worth it. it then become an issue of lack of flow/ boost output, td04 is probably the smallest turbo that will happily boost along the mighty Y4 for days. However the bigger version From Subaru the vf35? Or someshit would absolutely shit on any size eBay turbo, they’ve got the balls to boost up high & keep flow at any rpm/ speed, they’re also very responsive! But I’m pretty sure they’re not too cheap anymore, bang for the bucks can vouch td04 +1, however personally what I found with the td04 having a smaller diameter it runs out of juice in 4th/5th gear, wouldn’t be ideal for roll racing but still gonna chop fools
VF35 is gonna run outta steam around 350hp. My eBay GT3071R in my b18 spooled similarly to a VF39 but was good to almost 500. Never ran into a subie that could outrun me including my own STi.
What’s needed to turbo a stock Honda other then the kit bov/ wast gate fuel pressure regulator just to run like 7psi like what tuning or chip or do you need timing what’s the cheapest way ?
Could you please make a complete turbo kit list for the d16 please? I have a d16y4 ek civic and im looking to turbo it but don't know where to start, or could you link a good turbokit that is inexpensive
100% man I know I tell people all the time, but funny an ecu is not in most people’s budget for some reason🤷🏻♂️ fun fact the car has been daily driven now for two years still going strong
I wish I knew what I was doing. I have a cj lancer and a Ralliart turbo kit sitting here and I have no idea where to start. I wish I had your knowledge or you lived nearby. Mildura has no one like you here.
That turbo blanket was confusing to me at first when I installed my owns as well and the springs weren't quit long enough it was ordered from modern automotive performance
I kid you not I’ve watched all your d16 turbo videos at least 10 times per vid in the last week bc I’m about to turbo my Honda and am worried im going to mess something up
@@TURBOTRISTO based in America. any thoughts on running this setup with a fmu (rising rate fuel pressure regulator) and a wide band to make sure I’m not running lean? Got everything ready for boost just need to pick up a couple silicone couplers and a feed and return line.
My friend wants to get a little more power out of his subaru legacy 2.5 without doing a turbo or ecu upgrades, could I use a small supercharger or is that dangerous, it says it's for 2.0 to 3.5 litter engines. Can I do what you do and just keep it a single bolt on. Thanks.
Done auto T d16 noV for now .. can the ek subframe also work on d16 or only the eg . Maybe one day k24 or h22 . If i have to get both i dont care. I need a subframe for the d16 is four door that matter ? dont tell noone lol delete this when u read it .. thought i emailed you a while Back but cant find it ..
@motivationaltwist7026 stock subframe is fine for 2000hp as long as the engine mounts and axles can cope hhhaa only reason you would change it is to run a Kswap
Love your vids! Im currently thinking of adding a turbo to my 1.6 sport ep2 civic, i want to use a TDO5HR-16G6/10.5T does anyone if this is possible and if so how i would get my hands on the manifold?
I have td05hr 16g 1.0.5t on my d16 motor. No body makes a manifold. So I made one and I kep AC. It's a tight fit but it can be done. It's twin scroll, decent sized turbo.
Always check it on a dyno with a pro, engines are expensive. And more than the price of paying a tuner, if you have the knowledge to get it running ok then you can cruise it in to a tuner for a check up and fine tune
Hello pls help! I have a 3.5 Chrysler NA car. I wanna turbo it. Stock 250hp I want it to be 300-320. What kind of turbo I need at 3-5psi to make 50-70hp. I don’t want more power because I’m scared blowing my car up thanks a lot
Hello mate, there are a million more things we need to know first. If you only want a little bit of boost really any basic turbo will make boost, but I would need to know what type of budget you plan on doing this with and how you plan on tuning the car, who is doing the install and what manifolds and lines and intercooler pipes ect you want to use, I would suggest going in to your local performance fabrication and mechanical shop and talking to them before buying anything
hey mate just curious on why you re-located or made a new bracket for the wastegate instead of welding shut the flapper on the turbo side and adding an external gate when the exhaust manifold allows for one cheers
Because the external gate is illegal and the customer didn’t want it, plus the turbo came with a wastegate and he was on a budget didn’t need to spend extra money
@@loganschultz689 correct there is nothing stopping you from turbo'ing the current motor exactly the way it is, as I always recommend though please run some sort of fuel management, talk to the tuner you intend to use and ask their recommendation on what to use to manage the air and fuel
Currently looking at this turbo, how has this turbo treated you? Would you recommend this turbo or not? PS: Might leave this same comment on a few of your videos regarding this turbo lol
amazing vid bro! I really want to turbo by d16 but with my strict budget I wouldn't be able to get an ECU or a tune for it. Should i abandon the project or is it do-able with something like a rising rate pressure regulator and more bits? im looking to daily it too with like 7 psi at most maybe 10? any help would be appreciated brother, keep up the NA Civic project loving it!
I just finished my turboed vtec built z6 but im waiting for the tuner to be available, I know you said he is running the car for 2 years no issues would my build be fine on stock ecu and fueling for about 2 weeks or is the change in compression going to cause it to run way to lean? Can you tell if anything is going wrong while driving? I really want to drive the car while I wait but I am scared of blowing up the engine
depends what wastegate spring you have and what spark plug gap you have and what your fuel pressure reg is set at, i would say if you are sensible with your driving it will be fine
@@TURBOTRISTO ah thank you so much! I left the springs that came with the turbosmart wastegate so i’ll probably take them out for now because I believe its one 14lb spring, Ill probably baby it around for now. Ill keep a close watch on the fpr
hi tristan , i am dani i am in Perth WA , i have ej8 with d16y8 in it and i am actually running similar set up with this turbo set up , same turbo, manifold and probably intercooler kit too, and the question is which downpipe is that, is that fully custom hand made or it’s after market and custom modified to fit? thanks tristan
Bought a 98 civic with a d16y7 and ordering a turbo kit off max speed is there anything you can tell me I’m going to run into I’m not sure of absolutely everything I’m going to need and can’t find a complete parts list first time boosting anything🙏🏼
i did a video that has around 300k views it tells you everything about the kits and how they work, I advise you to take all the fittings and hoses to a performance parts shop and replace them with high quality fittings other than that you cant go wrong
@@TURBOTRISTO know anyone I could get a base tune from not trynna spen 4K lmao it’s gonna be a good budget build I already have an extra d16 and a 5 speed just gotta save and buy kit and other tinkets
If you are a master pie cut welder with lots of time it will fit. Piture 500 grapefruit slices welded together but the shape it has to be still kills flow. Too expensive to pay someone for that downpipe. Once it fits you still don't hv great workjngba/c u gotta run pusher fan . And flows killed
Wasson on man sick as videos just wondering I’ve got a d14a4 non tec and I’ve put a turbo on it what’s the best I can do without a tune to keep it safe ? Cheers man
@@TURBOTRISTO I’ve got a 4 psi wastegate spring and a Manaul boost controller set as low as it can go she runs sweet still need to fit the oil pressure gauge and also have another coolant temp one. Boost gauge is hooked up and working
Hey turbo Tristan, I have bought a d16 turbo kit and running it on a stock ecu I only want the flutter and I took it for a test drive and it made the noises I wanted, I know u said u don’t recommend driving it on a stock ecu but if I daily drive it once and a while to uni and back will it be alright? This is only until I get my proper ecu still saving for it but I really wanted to hear the turbo flutter not trying to push it all they way sorry if I sound like a noob 🤓
Really enjoy your content I’ve been learning a lot!, I’m new to boost builds I have a Fully stock 97 CX with a D16y7 I’d like to add this same turbo kit to, question is, would I need any upgraded internals or a trans swap to have it running reliably? Appreciate any info Thank you! 🤙🏼
do not bother with the internals just make sure the compression is even across all cylinders and send it a good tune will be much better than a built engine, in my experience and the experience of two of my friends the 3 of us all had built engines they all blew up not long after building them, i built my own engine and the other two guys paid well over 10k to have motors built and mine lasted the longest, don't build it just tune it and slap the turbo on this car is still running the same set up over a year later and he daily drives the car
Wow that’s opposite of what I was thinking, thanks for the heads up I was almost going to order rods pistons and a cam for the head. I did manage to find a D16y8 head recently for a decent price, I’m thinking of doing the mini me swap and adding boost to that. Appreciate your quick response
So im interested in parts that u linked in the vid sig! But how does this work since id be ordering from usa and need shipped to the usa? Is the pricing on maxspeedingrods prices in usd? Any help is. Appreciated
Love me a dirty D series 😂 Nice seeing you at the wreckers! Collab soon!

Yeeeeee
thanks for the comments and support mate
where did you get your oil filter relocation kit?
The customer bought it on marketplace , tbh it was junk we replaced all the fittings with raceworks ones the next day as they all leaked
That turbo blanket was confusing to me at first when I installed my owns as well and the springs weren't quit long enough it was ordered from modern automotive performance
Hey man thanks for watching if you want some forged rods for your eclipse I am giving some away in the next couple of weeks
@@TURBOTRISTO dude that is awesome bro what length I'm looking to do AWD 2.1 Lust be 162mm with 4g64
these will be for the stock 4g63 but forged and balanced
@@TURBOTRISTO nice man
Awsome
this was a fun project
I kid you not I’ve watched all your d16 turbo videos at least 10 times per vid in the last week bc I’m about to turbo my Honda and am worried im going to mess something up
Man you can’t mess it up it’s sooo easy, where are you based? Comment any questions you have on the videos and I will do my best to answer asap
@@TURBOTRISTO based in America. any thoughts on running this setup with a fmu (rising rate fuel pressure regulator) and a wide band to make sure I’m not running lean? Got everything ready for boost just need to pick up a couple silicone couplers and a feed and return line.
perfect plan mate better than this thats for sure
@@TURBOTRISTO that makes me feel a lot more confident! That’s for all the content man wouldn’t have the confidence of it weren’t for you
happy to help
What do you think about putting in rdx 410cc injectors for this engine for 8 psi?
I beleive the d16y8 has bigger injectors or bseries have 240cc injectors these have 190cc
410 would be great
If thats a journal bearing turbo you need to open up that hole to a 3an, you'll starve that turbo of oil
I’ll look into it thank you major
I want a sleeper turbo that coppers won’t be able to see do you have any susgestions on kits ?
All kits will do fine, we can cover it in certain ways and paint stuff black ect
My friend wants to get a little more power out of his subaru legacy 2.5 without doing a turbo or ecu upgrades, could I use a small supercharger or is that dangerous, it says it's for 2.0 to 3.5 litter engines. Can I do what you do and just keep it a single bolt on. Thanks.
there isnt a lot you can do if you dont want to do the ecu. i would tell him to buy a new car if its too slow,
sunbarus are unreliable at the best of times
Hey Bro, im turboing my d16y4 and i was wondering how n where do u run ur vacume lines for bov, wastgate, fpr, and boost gauge?
Back to the intake plenium
hey was wondering if you know of anyone in qld that can do turbo installs and tuned for d15z4?
Nate lavender
@@TURBOTRISTO sweet as ill give em a look up thanks heaps legend love your videos
What’s the manifold in the picture?
Elusive
Does this thing have a AFR gauge on it? Any idea what the AFR is?
Nope and nope, it’s still going strong though
What were those anodized wrenches “new tools” you were using?
They are for AN fittings special alloy spanners so it doesn’t damage the fittings
Im guessing you would block the map sensor hole, relocate it and get a feed from somewhere else?
Yeah I’m experimenting with that now might do a video on it soon
7:15 no more scratching around in the dirt for us huh
Nah man onward and upward always
Done auto T d16 noV for now .. can the ek subframe also work on d16 or only the eg . Maybe one day k24 or h22 . If i have to get both i dont care. I need a subframe for the d16 is four door that matter ? dont tell noone lol delete this when u read it .. thought i emailed you a while Back but cant find it ..
an integra dc4/dc2 or an EG subframe are the best for a kswap, but the stock ek subframe is perfect for a H22/b18 /b20 swap
@@TURBOTRISTO ok the ek subframe is what i need if thats for d16 . looks like if do even a stock pull shits going down lol
@motivationaltwist7026 stock subframe is fine for 2000hp as long as the engine mounts and axles can cope hhhaa only reason you would change it is to run a Kswap
@@TURBOTRISTO ima link u on ig now and show u the subframe
Love your vids! Im currently thinking of adding a turbo to my 1.6 sport ep2 civic, i want to use a TDO5HR-16G6/10.5T does anyone if this is possible and if so how i would get my hands on the manifold?
I haven’t seen a turbo ep2 that will be cool man
I have td05hr 16g 1.0.5t on my d16 motor. No body makes a manifold. So I made one and I kep AC. It's a tight fit but it can be done. It's twin scroll, decent sized turbo.
@@kutlee2009 i have no ac due to radiator breaking so i have a bit more room to work with, but sounds like its a custom manifold job then
@@kutlee2009 that is soo cool man I’d love to see the set up
Hey Tristan. Would you recommend getting a new turbo setup professionally tuned or will a ecu tune done by myself, assuming done correctly, suffice?
Always check it on a dyno with a pro, engines are expensive. And more than the price of paying a tuner, if you have the knowledge to get it running ok then you can cruise it in to a tuner for a check up and fine tune
Needs an external waste gate vented to atmosphere ;-)
Yeah it does but not in Australia, this is a sleeper and in Australia you get pumped for that stuff
Hello pls help! I have a 3.5 Chrysler NA car. I wanna turbo it. Stock 250hp I want it to be 300-320. What kind of turbo I need at 3-5psi to make 50-70hp. I don’t want more power because I’m scared blowing my car up thanks a lot
Hello mate, there are a million more things we need to know first. If you only want a little bit of boost really any basic turbo will make boost, but I would need to know what type of budget you plan on doing this with and how you plan on tuning the car, who is doing the install and what manifolds and lines and intercooler pipes ect you want to use, I would suggest going in to your local performance fabrication and mechanical shop and talking to them before buying anything
@@TURBOTRISTO thanks 😁
Where are you in Australia man I want you to work on mine when you have the chance
I’m in Melbourne mate
Any idea on how much power it makes without a tune ?
No clue I’d guess around 120kw at the wheels max
Are you notching the block for those rods
It’s stock bro
hey mate just curious on why you re-located or made a new bracket for the wastegate instead of welding shut the flapper on the turbo side and adding an external gate when the exhaust manifold allows for one cheers
Because the external gate is illegal and the customer didn’t want it, plus the turbo came with a wastegate and he was on a budget didn’t need to spend extra money
Hey any chance when you got boost did it like bog or lose power ?
No it ran fine and still does the guy daily’s it
I have a bone stock 98’ ex 66k miles and has a d16y8, but I’m debating to keep it stock or to mod it :(
Always mod it
Think I could boost a D17? Thought about doing it but want more info
d17 would be a better option it has more sensors and more tuning capability from stock, go for it mate
it would be the exact same recipe as this car
So ideally I could throw a turbo kit into the D17 with the 2 lobe vtec or would it be better to trade out the heads for non vtec?
Just trying to gauge whether or not I can just get a turbo kit and throw it in and have some fun?
@@loganschultz689 correct there is nothing stopping you from turbo'ing the current motor exactly the way it is, as I always recommend though please run some sort of fuel management, talk to the tuner you intend to use and ask their recommendation on what to use to manage the air and fuel
5psi doubles the power? wow. I need lots of off brand turbos then.
Haha well think about it no boost and then adding 5psi is a huge difference in power
@@TURBOTRISTO 5psi is about a 40% increase in power. Compressor size will play a huge factor, but it's a rough estimate.
Currently looking at this turbo, how has this turbo treated you? Would you recommend this turbo or not?
PS: Might leave this same comment on a few of your videos regarding this turbo lol
Turbo works fine it’s been nearly two years it’s still going strong
amazing vid bro!
I really want to turbo by d16 but with my strict budget I wouldn't be able to get an ECU or a tune for it.
Should i abandon the project or is it do-able with something like a rising rate pressure regulator and more bits? im looking to daily it too with like 7 psi at most maybe 10? any help would be appreciated brother, keep up the NA Civic project loving it!
Thanks man, you can do exactly what I just did in this vid man
Did you use a K series slave cylinder to clear the turbo intake?
Nope stock
Will this work on a D15? I just got a 93 Del Sol and I want to turbo it. Is your kit available to buy yet?
Yes sure will
I need some opinions whether i can turbocharged mazda familia 1.3cc on carburetor system?.
You can but it’s a pain in the butt, research draw through carby or blow through carby there is two ways to turbo a carby
Do you have any videos on a boosted d16y5? I’m trying to figure out the difference between boosting a vtec and non vtec
I have heaps on videos on a boosted y8 with vtec
Both have the same results
I just finished my turboed vtec built z6 but im waiting for the tuner to be available, I know you said he is running the car for 2 years no issues would my build be fine on stock ecu and fueling for about 2 weeks or is the change in compression going to cause it to run way to lean? Can you tell if anything is going wrong while driving? I really want to drive the car while I wait but I am scared of blowing up the engine
Was told its fine because I have an external boost controller set all to the lowest setting but am still nervous
depends what wastegate spring you have and what spark plug gap you have and what your fuel pressure reg is set at, i would say if you are sensible with your driving it will be fine
@@TURBOTRISTO ah thank you so much! I left the springs that came with the turbosmart wastegate so i’ll probably take them out for now because I believe its one 14lb spring, Ill probably baby it around for now. Ill keep a close watch on the fpr
hi tristan , i am dani i am in Perth WA , i have ej8 with d16y8 in it and i am actually running similar set up with this turbo set up , same turbo, manifold and probably intercooler kit too, and the question is which downpipe is that, is that fully custom hand made or it’s after market and custom modified to fit? thanks tristan
this down pipe I custom made if you watch the video I show it and mention that I welded it myself, thanks for watching I appreciate the support man
Bought a 98 civic with a d16y7 and ordering a turbo kit off max speed is there anything you can tell me I’m going to run into I’m not sure of absolutely everything I’m going to need and can’t find a complete parts list first time boosting anything🙏🏼
i did a video that has around 300k views it tells you everything about the kits and how they work, I advise you to take all the fittings and hoses to a performance parts shop and replace them with high quality fittings other than that you cant go wrong
@@TURBOTRISTO know anyone I could get a base tune from not trynna spen 4K lmao it’s gonna be a good budget build I already have an extra d16 and a 5 speed just gotta save and buy kit and other tinkets
@@austinleonard7766 a base tune for what software
Could you run AC with a setup like this? I would like to do between 5 and 7 lb and still keep air conditioning
Nah man not really
If you are a master pie cut welder with lots of time it will fit. Piture 500 grapefruit slices welded together but the shape it has to be still kills flow. Too expensive to pay someone for that downpipe. Once it fits you still don't hv great workjngba/c u gotta run pusher fan . And flows killed
Wasson on man sick as videos just wondering I’ve got a d14a4 non tec and I’ve put a turbo on it what’s the best I can do without a tune to keep it safe ? Cheers man
Good fuel pump and fuel rev low boost under 7psi and send it
Gap the spark plugs to 0.8mm
@@TURBOTRISTO sweeet as I appreciate it you got Facebook so I can show you a couple videos ?
@@TURBOTRISTO I’ve got a 4 psi wastegate spring and a Manaul boost controller set as low as it can go she runs sweet still need to fit the oil pressure gauge and also have another coolant temp one. Boost gauge is hooked up and working
just search tristan ostara im the only one on earth
What fuel injectors are you running?
Watch the vid mate it’s all stock
Hey turbo Tristan, I have bought a d16 turbo kit and running it on a stock ecu I only want the flutter and I took it for a test drive and it made the noises I wanted, I know u said u don’t recommend driving it on a stock ecu but if I daily drive it once and a while to uni and back will it be alright? This is only until I get my proper ecu still saving for it but I really wanted to hear the turbo flutter not trying to push it all they way sorry if I sound like a noob 🤓
If you run less that 5 psi and crank up the fuel pressure it should be ok ish
@@TURBOTRISTO how much fuel pressure should the regulator read then
@@Christian-ml5pw I would put it at 50psi base pressure
How did you keep the psi from going higher?
Adjust the wastegate
Is it’s suitable if u do this and it’s your daily
It’s this guys daily so yup
Like number 66!
yeah boy!!
add some really low volume music in the background throughout the whole video
I’ll consider that I need to find something good non copywright from the studio
Really enjoy your content I’ve been learning a lot!, I’m new to boost builds I have a Fully stock 97 CX with a D16y7 I’d like to add this same turbo kit to, question is, would I need any upgraded internals or a trans swap to have it running reliably?
Appreciate any info Thank you! 🤙🏼
do not bother with the internals just make sure the compression is even across all cylinders and send it a good tune will be much better than a built engine, in my experience and the experience of two of my friends the 3 of us all had built engines they all blew up not long after building them, i built my own engine and the other two guys paid well over 10k to have motors built and mine lasted the longest, don't build it just tune it and slap the turbo on this car is still running the same set up over a year later and he daily drives the car
Wow that’s opposite of what I was thinking, thanks for the heads up I was almost going to order rods pistons and a cam for the head. I did manage to find a D16y8 head recently for a decent price, I’m thinking of doing the mini me swap and adding boost to that.
Appreciate your quick response
Did you keep the catalytic converter? Will keeping it in ruin the turbo?
yep still kept the cat, no it wont kill the turbo, we have to run them in australia
@@TURBOTRISTO Thank you for the info and the fast reply. 🙏 Glad I subscribed
you are welcome buddy, im currently putting a full exhaust on my turbo kswapped civic with a cat
@@TURBOTRISTO wow I'm looking forward to watching your videos I'll be checking on your channel. Thank you.
@@TURBOTRISTO daym those welds look clean! I really like the colors.
So im interested in parts that u linked in the vid sig! But how does this work since id be ordering from usa and need shipped to the usa? Is the pricing on maxspeedingrods prices in usd? Any help is. Appreciated
They have the same parts on their usa site if you check newer vids of mine there are newer links
