Turbo charging a Honda civic?

[rob h]

depends on the turbo. with a mid sized turbo your lookin at about 8psi. 10psi tops.

get a better head gasket and head studs and it could hold 10psi fine. again, depending on the size of the turbo.

yes the wastegate controls boost. either an internal wg on the turbo or an external wg on the exhaust manifold.

the oil inlet comes from the back of the block (oil pressure sending unit) to the turbo, then the outlet comes from the turbo to the oil pan.. you need to tap the oil pan.

biggest tip... how long your motor lasts and the power it makes depends almost completely on the tune! engine management is key.

I got a 1993 Honda Civic ex. I'm new to turbo charging and i was wondering how much boost can a stock d16z6 vtec head, and whats a good boost range for it to. And does the waste gate control the boost, i know the blow off valve releases the air when the thottle body closes. and were do you hook up the oil inlet and outlet on the turbo. If anyone has anymore suggestion on what to do and how to hook it up, post it please.
