ok the basics:
i just bought a '93 del slow, its got a 1.6 8valve motor with an automatic and NON VTEC - hum.
Anyways i am doing a swap to a 5speed soon, and i figured why not do a motor swap why i am at it... Well i found a good deal on a d series turbo kit, complete for only $400. And if its a d16y8 he says he has a tapped oilpan for me too.
Well either way i was thinking of doing a mini-me swap to a d16y8, but i have a few Q's:
1) what parts do i all need to do that swap?
2) is it bad to turbo a vtec?
3) is there major wiring involved? the manual gauge cluster has the gear you are in on the cluster, do i need to swap dash wirng harnesses too?
4) do vtec models have a vtec light on the guage cluster? if so, can i incorperate that into this easily? seeing i will be changing the gauge cluster anyways, due to the 5spd swap.
Now with the swap of changing to a 5 speed, i think i know all the basics, but i was wondering if there are any tricks/tips that any of you know..
1) Other than the following, are there any parts i will need?..
-pedal assembly
-slave
-piping
-transmission
-clutch
-flywheel
-manual ecu
-shift linkage
-shifter
-manual guage cluster
2) any suggestins on the easiest way to do this? or any general help at all? i am mechanically inclined, but i have never done this before, so any help would be much appreciated.
Again, thank you for any help you can give me
