I have a 97 civic coupe (d16y8 engine with 157800 miles) and I am planning a swap but I also want to turbo my current engine until I do the swap. After looking at aftermarket turbo kits, Ive realized that they're expensive as hell, so I wanted to do a junkyard set up of some kind. I only want to run 6-9 lbs of boost so I thought I could just scrape together some junkyard gold and make my own kit for a lot less money.

I need to know everything, and I mean everything you need in order to make a successfull junkyard kit.

also if this is bad logic let me know, because althought it made sense in my head, it may not be the best idea? :p

thanks a lot

and, some of the parts, like the manifold, exhaust, etc won't be able to be used on the swap motor.
