D16y8 All Motor

[JDMef88]

Ok so i just want a little more kick out of the daily driver. I got a 99 civic ex with 80k on the motor. What would be the best bang for the buck to get a couple more horses out of this little beast? I was looking for a jackson racing supercharger...but then idk, i wanna keep her ok so she lasts another 200k. So what would help besides I,H,E ? LMK thanks

[scttydb411]

turbo w/ 8psi on smaller/med sized turbo, larger inj, conversion harness, socketed/chipped ecu, and tuning...you'll be straight.

[GSRteg®]

Man just turbo that little sukker! Run about 6 pounds or either build the botton end and run 18. :goodjob:

[JDMef88]

IDk about turbo, dont you think for the price and what im looking for jackson racing would be the way to go?

[GSRteg®]

You get more HP out of a turbo than a SC. Plus a SC stayes on all the time = less MPG. Now a turbo shit fun as hell.

man i dont have 3k to drop on a single cam...might aswell swap this bitch out

[GSRteg®]

Look bro u be paying more for the swap + labor B16, B18, B20, H22, K20 etc. know you build a liitle D series youll be beathing ^ ^ ^ ^ if its done right. IDK thats the way im going D series. You can reach 350+ HP on single cam. :goodjob:

i don't think you need 3k for turbo on a single cam. i'm pretty sure my friend can turbo your car for cheap. he has pretty much everything too, except for a waste gate i think. if you wanna go turbo i can find out how much he'll do it for...i dont think its over 2k. not quite sure but if you do want to, then let me know.

he's right...they're not that bad. but you would be paying more for a swap but then you probably wouldn't even get as much power if you were gonna turbo it.

isnt the ex an automatic?

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

Too much money for all motor D in my opinion...

If you do forced induction, I'd run turbo instead of supercharger. New vs new, a sc would probably cost more too... a used sc is fairly cheap, but I'd still run turbo. Want your motor to last long, run low boost and get it tuned. A y8 bottom isn't so great anyways, so it'll probably go out on ya with any route.

[KevinT707]

D-Series FTL. I'm thinking that bottom end would only be reliable around 200 WHP or so

[_Christian_]

if you want all motor, swap it.

Thats not true my homeboy that beat you back in the day with the turbo single Ek was 247whp and it ran good, until he freaking decided to turn the boost up, thats the only problem with turbo you always want more power, but if ya y8 has decent mileage i'll run good, trust me you'll like it

[GSRteg®]

Actually 207 at 8psi. Thats what a guy at the V meet is running and the numbers he is putting down. (stock botton end) Shit hes smoking GSR bro.

1000 or less just the botton end done right.

oh yea my boys car was bone stock no internals done at all tuned by scttydb411

[GSRteg®]

I know right D16y8 is the way to go. People think that you need to build it up.... just run 8 pounds and get it tuned ull be fine. Just dont turn that shit up.



oh yea my boys car was bone stock no internals done at all tuned by scttydb411

[boosted_nonv]

Yep they'll definitely have fun, oh yea my boy was on 9 pounds and made like 220+whp, just ask scttydb411 he knows alot and he tune the bitch, but good luck man

[GSRteg®]

Damn that a fucking RSX swap 220 damn. I deff got to get with scttydb411 to tune my shit. :goodjob: Oh, thanks

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

Oh believe me, I loved the d. I made 234/179 with my y8 and I was pullin s2k's until my stock clutch started to slip. The bottom end lasted me around 2 years. Its a grand to build the bottom end if you can do everything yourself.

[GSRteg®]

Let me know what upgrades you had done to the block. pistons,rods, etc.... thanks. :yes:

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

it was completely stock with a pieced together turbo kit. The turbo kit i pieced together was pretty ghetto and cheap. The only thing I had "expensive" was the turbo, intrcoler and bov, which was a turbonetics t3, fmic off honda-tech and an hks ssq; everything else was the ebay parts everyone is telling you not to get. I personally never had a problem with them, but i guess there's always that one that gets lucky. I also ran the hack for awhile then went with uberdata.

[GSRteg®]

Yea, cool now the first thing I have to do is swap the Y8 in then trubo it.... :goodjob:

[KevinT707]

Oh YEAHH, I remember now .. :D those were some good runs, definitely a quick car especially with his long gears & lots of torque. Beat me N/A though ;)

Thats true Kevin, i agree

[DustnU]

Yo if you want AM go with Dual cam Zc pistons(75mm) a mild cam (stg2) lil head work, fuel system(injectors, pump, rail, filter, regulator etc.) Chipped ecu Tuned. Not too much cheese and alot of bang!!!

You should probably do most of the building and all that crap before you put in the car. Makes it so much easier.

jackson racing supercharger is a waste of money, get the vortec, check out the numbers a stock GSR gets off it and check out the numbers the jacksonracing supercharger gets, vortec makes more power

why dont you get off vortechs nuts? they paying you?

Vortech SUCKS. They are cool for HIGH RPM, they SUCK for STREET CARS.

Go read about this thing called AREA UNDER THE CURVE.

If you want to play this game, TURBO is better than both, more tq, more hp, almost as responsive.

little T3 turbo > JRSC > VORTECH

[GsrME]

JRSC sucks on single cams, I had one on my y7, and was getting stomped by the same car with a B16. Turbo is definately the way to go. Get you a turbo kit and go see Scotty.
