I have aquired an 89 si hatchback. I just took the engine out of the car. It is a d16a6 engine. I went to the junk yard and bought a y8 SOHC vtec head. So the question is what should i do with turboing this minime si vtec head. I read that this y8 head swap raises the compression to high 10s.
Should i get forged turbo pistons and connecting rods?
What psi can i boost to and still use pump gas, + daily driver?
If I get turbo pistons and lower the compression but don't use a turbo right away and drive it n/a could it damage the engine?
You guys seem to be a good resource, I'm new to the idea of turbo charging so lets see what you would reccomend.
