Here is my new project. it is an 89 si hatch. plans to build a sleeved d16a6 block with a y8 head and t3/t4 turbo. at least i have the car it is a start. and is has nice falken tires.hey paid 300 for it.

why not swap a b18 in there:thinking:...t3/t4 is extremely large for a 1.6 for most applications.

but to each his own:)

What friggen wheels are those? Never seen em before!

they look to be like 86-89 accord wheels or something.

not sure one the wheels , most say old accord wheels. some say orginal si wheels. I am try to find out. They are honda wheels that is all i know. and the are wrapped in 195/60 r14 falken ziex. that are almost brand new so i guess i will keep them a while.

for those who wanted to know. I just spent an hour and have found that the rims on my car are actually civic stock rims available in silver and gold in 90-91. it is a 14 by 5 rims. 18 spoke dealer option. I do not know which models that were available. and from what I see in price the gold style was less produced cause to replace it costs a grip. that is what I found out. hope this helps.

hey t3/t4 on a 1.6.... im new to the boosting scene, but someone i know is going to drop a t3/t4 in his d16z6 simply because he doesnt like boosting around the neighboorhood at 20 or 30 MPH. on such a big turbo, it pobably wont spool until 35 - 45 rpms from a stand still.... so our guess is ifhe wants tpo hall his tail and race someone (likeusual) he'll prob have to rev up to 4 or 5 and take off ripping up his tires, that way the turbo spools before he takes off.... what do you all think on that subject?

really depends on which housing he plans to use... And finally got to drive it today..new a6 in. building the turbo a6 now..

i dunno about that one...... you would spin your ass off all the way through 2nd.
