Motor apart honing the cylinders And the putting your new rings on and using assembly lube and a pistion insertion tool to keep the rings in and so on and so forth.

- Wed Jan 04, 2012 7:59 pm #288513 Honestly, if you don't understand replacing rings, compression tests, or the difference between d15b7 and d16z6, then I'd hold off on installing a turbo setup. Take your time to learn about engines in general and then spend some time working on your own D series motor. start with simple maintenance then get into more complicated things as you need to.
Rushing to install a turbo kit without understanding the details of your engine or turbo kits in general can lead to costly mistakes.
Taking the time to research and learn is worth it in the long run. There's a lot here in the forum and also wiki and google are endless, not to mention if it has ever been done in the world of hondas, it will be on honda-tech.
Take your time :thumb:
