My red EK Civic has been sitting in my front yard for 18 months now. I paid 500 for it completely stock with 150,000kms. She runs great and the interior is in mint condition. Just needs a paint job and some wheels, and maybe a turbo, that's why I'm here. G'day from the Goldy
Hey, are you able to do a list of the build and where you got the parts thanks also in Melbourne and want to start my civic build. Have watched the video countless times and is great!!
I did an updated one and also the a lot of the important non eBay kit parts are on my website spoolup.com.au are you planing on turboing a d16? Or something else
Tristan if I was to ever visit Melbourne how much for you to turbo my civic I'm so sick off hoe much money I've spent on it and it's still slow it's p pretty much ready rebuilt head brand new clutch already running haltech ecu just needs chesp turbo and pipping done then off to get tuned how much would you charge
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Maverick Graysen Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Im planning on selling my focus st and going with a d16 civic in the future. Ive always lusted over hondas and i think it is time i build my own. Once im done with the diesel motor swap on my land rover of course 😁😁 keep up the good work, u got ur self a new subscriber 👍👍
They are a great shape cheaper than a hatch better brakes interior instruments front sway bar provisions for a rear seat bar heaps of room inside longer wheelbase the same as a crv 😉
You don't need to swap the whole harness to an OBD1. Many companies make OBD2 to OBD1 conversion harnesses that just plug into the OBD2 harness and into a OBD1 ECU. Make running Hondata easy.
Haha nice mate. I gave away my d16y4 to my mate. I knew I should of got a buggy and did this. Looking forward too seeing your kswap. Wondering what power you made with this setup
i have the d16y4 but it’s so hard finding parts for it in the U.S especially the Distributor! i haven’t put it in yet i’m just debating on it since there isn’t a lot of research on them online
Hey Mate! Do you still have the wiring diagram on how you wired this all up? I've put a d16y4 in a 1st gen civic and my ecu is buggerd. I wish i found your channel earlier haha
It’s with sm motorsport wiring, haltech australia also have my map with the pinout on it so you can use that also, thanks for watching, if the car is na you will be fine but could also use a loom and ecu from another car, I wouldn’t bother turboing it they don’t love timing my advice would be keep it na or if you are turboing it, don’t build the motor just bolt a turbo on and make sure the air fuel ratio is good, I have a 1st gen d16y8 built turbo in my shop now and it’s running a link ecu I have that ecu and that loom for sale if you are interested
Nice build bro! Could you maybe orient the turbo outlet downward facing so you don't have to remove the stock air conditioning?? I'm looking at doing the same with a bunch of spare parts. R33 HKS 2530 (genuine disco potato) , 76mm radiator, have a few spare BOV's,.. air fittings etc.. was thinking of reusing a r33 fuel pump as well.. just leaves the injectors and a FPR..
Would you be ok if I gave you my phone number so we can share civic info it'll be Kool to get to know both of us ? If there are rules I'll understand that and be respectful of that
Adam I would love to interact more with fans of the channel I will start a Facebook page for the channel soon, as for the phone number swapping, I wont put my number on UA-cam, so I suggest you don't either my man, I just don't think it would be safe hackers everywhere these days I try share as little personal information as possible
Im curious how the replica turbo is doing after some time. was it worth or is it a waste of money? should be getting a real garrett? Also are there any parts you wished you weren't cheap on? I wanna do a turbo build so the info would really help 🙏
Hey man, Do you have a link to the manifold you are using? Bonus points if they can be sourced from the UK! lol I dont want the normal T3/4 cast manifold, its too laggy, Thank you mate!
Turbo manifold or intake manifold? I’m Running a t2 log manifold nothing special it was $100 on eBay, the one with no wastegate outlet as I run an internal wastegate and a t2871 turbo
Couldn't You have simply made a jumper harness to connect stock harness to a p28 plug... Or cut the plug off and wire in a p28 plug. Im sure the sensors are the same if not similar probably even same wire color. You dont need hondata, You coulda simply got a chipped ecu and burned chips or got a Ostrich for a couple hundred bucks to be able to tune it very cheaply.. Nothing wrong with haltech its just you had other options.
Nah mate it’s all to hard not just a matter of jumper harnesses with the junk ecu we get here, I am working on an ecu that will plug and play for the rest of Australia though should be out soon

I like how it's nicely tucked away away you can't even see the turbo if you didn't look

Lucky iam about to pick one up tonight or tomorrow can’t wait
Benn Russ what are you getting?
TURBOTRISTAN ek sedan I’ve had a lot of Honda but now I have a great job to put money into one pretty much want your turbo set up
TURBOTRISTAN thanks for replying aswell how did you source parts I live in Tasmania
Benn Russ i actually got my acl race bearings from tassie yesterday haha, otherwise usually eBay I mention where I get most things from in the videos
TURBOTRISTAN shit hah I need to do a bit of research I think
You don't need to swap the whole harness to an OBD1. Many companies make OBD2 to OBD1 conversion harnesses that just plug into the OBD2 harness and into a OBD1 ECU. Make running Hondata easy.
yes that is true, but i would still need the obd1 alternator and starter and distributor so i am told
Great video dude.
Thanks Doug! Thanks for watching please consider subscribing
Thanks for the fuel tips i see you with Puerto Rico
no worries mate thank you for watching i appreciate it please subscribe, puerto ricans are the best racers!
Save the single cam. Great build. Keep it up.
Thanks bro, I’m trying- it’s an on going struggle but I’ll get there , thanks for your support mate
Haha nice mate. I gave away my d16y4 to my mate. I knew I should of got a buggy and did this. Looking forward too seeing your kswap. Wondering what power you made with this setup
Yet to be tuned it’s only been road tuned, I have a built d16 to go in later and I will turn that up and properly dyno it
i have the d16y4 but it’s so hard finding parts for it in the U.S especially the Distributor! i haven’t put it in yet i’m just debating on it since there isn’t a lot of research on them online
I can get the dizzy here from any where, they are quite common, you can use y5 & y8 parts in them
I want that too!! With Mini-Me D14!!
do it
did you really use spray cans to do that bro ? nice paint . i want to try
I sure did mate watch my earlier videos I show you how to do it
awesome videos man noticed u mentioned the plug and play ecu project hows it coming along
It works and runs there are a few prototypes in WA but just waiting on my man to have time to make more
are you kidding me??? already sub when I saw your vid the other day brother! =)
Thanks man it means alot
Did you bake the rocker cover like Trent did with the rb30?
Aidan Hunt sure did
Did not know that with e85
Yeah it’s a game changer
How much did it cost to turbocharge the d16 all up
With out the ecu and with out a tune around $1000
How many cans was it
Aidan Hunt lol cans of what

That would be cool and work well
What turbo did you use exactly?
The maxpeedingrods 2871 internally gated
Stock bottom?
Andres Otero yeah mate for now, but I just got the rebuild kit for the bottom end on a new motor
? Didn't you have a jackson supercharger for sale still ?
Not me a subscriber had one I posted an add for, I would never spend that sort of cash for soo little gain
How much for it ? In us price ? If you still have it
Would you be ok if I gave you my phone number so we can share civic info it'll be Kool to get to know both of us ? If there are rules I'll understand that and be respectful of that

Was the slave cylinder in the way of the turbo?
For the clutch ? No it wasnt
Do you still have your fog lights?
I sold them after I put a larger intercooler on
Im curious how the replica turbo is doing after some time.
was it worth or is it a waste of money?
should be getting a real garrett?
