Chew on this turbo setup for a D16Y8

Given that your car's engine is in good mechanical condition, You will have to upgrade your Fuel(Fuel pump, Pressure regulators, injectors) and ignition (MSD 6A, Colder Plugs, wires, etc...) You will have to get a thicker head gasket to do 10 lbs of boost, you shouldnt really go past 8 or 9 lbs with out it. Get your car Dyno Tuned to get the most power and reliablity out of it. It would be a good idea to also get guages, etc.. I posted something before about a good setup for civics let me see if I can find it.

This is a good guideline to follow for a Strong, safe setup.

Heres some info from MatT3T4 about the setup:

Gauges/Electronics

---E.T.A.---
Quarter mile times can drop to as low as low 13's depending on your setup. Good tuning, ample fuel & spark, with race gas, and about 14psi will net you 13's. Safe street driving with this setup well tuned should be around 10psi.
