Ok. So I have a d16a6 block, a d15b non vtec head, and dpfi. My plan is to swap on a z6 head and boost it. Im getting the full mini me head swap in a trade for an old amp. Idk if its obd 1 or not but its the complete head, intake mani, wiring harness, injectors, dizzy, the whole swap. I can also get a turbo setup for a d-series from a friend for $350. Its internal wastegate and is set at 12psi. I figured this would be way too high for a mini me and since I have to get new pistons anyway i thought about getting vitara low compression pistons to compensate for the boost. Ive heard that d series rods are weak so im considering forged rods. I wanna do this right the first time instead of breaking something and then havin to tear it apart again. So basically what I need to know is am I gonna be pissing away money or am I on the right route. This is going in a 89 crx btw, with a dx trans. Ive already gotten new main and rod bearings, thrust washers, and a full gasket set for the a6. So ive already invested like $250 in it. I know that no good turbo setup is cheap but I dont want to throw away money either. Thanks in advance for any help!
