#37967 Very awesome. You will love the feel of boost spooling in more the vtec engauging. Dont know if your picked your SOHC engine, I would recommend the D15b(JDM) or the D16z6(USDM) and then you will have vtec as well as boost. An engine to avoid would be the D15z/D15z6 as it has VTEC-E. Its made for fuel economy and not performance.

Good luck on your build.

The D16y8 is Vtec Engine out of the 96-00 Civics which is good. However they are known to have oil pump problems. I would recommend getting a D16z6 Oil pump if you can get your hands on one.

When you turbo your D16y8(assuming you get it) You will have lots of fun with it. Make sure you get your a tune after putting the turbo on. And Remember, If it has Stock Internals(most likely) Dont go over 220hp or your rods will break.
