Best SOHC to boost?

[TheProfiteer]

Just out of curiousity, which honda SOHC engine responds best to low levels of boost? 8-9psi? With out any building what so ever, on a stock motor with an alluminum head gasket.

This would have to be the Y8.

[TheProfiteer]

how does it handle it? Is it worth it, and would it be reliable enough for a DD?

How would the gas millage suffer as a result?

What about a Z6 block with a Y8 Head?


really I am just trying to see if the civic has DD potential and still hold its wieght agianst some of the more meaty four bangers.

[112480]

Not Y8 but a full D16Z6 all the way!!! Just stay under 250whp for a RELIABLE DD D-series. Trust me I know! I made [email protected] and 315whp@18psi on a STOCK cam on my FULLY built D16Z6 before she went boom:goodjob:

Beat a 450whp GT mustang(on W.G;14.75psi) a new Lotus Elise on W.G(by 4 car lengths!!!!! in third gear alone) a 2007 600rr on 18psi, a 2007 M3(modded) on W.G by 3 lengths and a Porsche Carrera on W.G by 5 lengths but it wasn't a turbo carrera.

This was done in my 92 Vx hatch and for now going Ls/Vtec turbo and then FULLY built K20a2 turbo!!!

[EmminoDaGreat]

single cam f series. nice iron sleeves, make 250ish at 10psi with same torque

[.blank cd]

Yeah i would definitly have to say F series motors. very tourqey

[hybrid90accord]

F22 FTW

[scttydb411]

if you're wanting to stick with a d-series you already have then any would be fine for 8-9psi on most turbos. the z6 with a y8 intake manifold would be better if that's what you have.

[Whiteboy™]

i think the y8 would be the best choice.

[RBS]

z6 . . . but thats just me

[RUFFIAN]

f22 all-day

[WhiteAccord]

F Series Bitches...

[JDM onlyy]

f series but if you wanna stick d series. the z6 with a y8 manifold.

[WhiteAccord]

Its interesting how everyone thinks the Accord is a piece of crap but then it is the best motor option to boost...

well they said SOHC's only lol, if they said any motor most would probably say h22 or h23 :thinking:

[.blank cd]

H series on stock blocks suck for boost. 5psi on stock block at best because of the FRM sleevs. thats good for about 5psi MAYBE

[.blank cd]

F series > all. My buddies boosted SOHC F22 was good for 10psi DAILY, about 220hp and 290tq on a good tune :goodjob: Plus gas mileage didnt suffer much unless he was in boost all the time

[§treet_§peed]

D series and they are really cheap to pick up if you blow it

[§treet_§peed]

actally y8 blows or the head anyways from what i have heard. get a d16y7 block and put a z6 or zc head on it then boost

[WhiteAccord]

well they said SOHC's only lol, if they said any motor most would probably say h22 or h23 :thinking:

Nay not even the H22 or H23 makes great power with just a slap on turbo kit.

Best motor, stock would be the F series.

But then if its any motor, 2JZ.

[TopNotchEG9]

the D16Z6 or the JDM D15B are the BEST to boost...the Y8 isn't that good to boost because of the oil pump...

[Andy_013]

My choice is the y8

[Tech5]

ZC all the way with a D16y8 intake manifold!

[§treet_§peed]

good point^

[SoLJames95]

the D16Z6 or the JDM D15B are the BEST to boost...the Y8 isn't that good to boost because of the oil pump...

D15b... Im on my third, Ive blown two of them up. At 10 PSI. Im currently. Building a D16a6 Block with a Z6 Head. Ihave heard that the A6 bottom ends are stronger. We will see.:D I have heard alot of good things on the A6. Z6 are good but. Im going to try somethin diff.

[HatchHero]

f series, d series any way you choose the **** is going to be ridin!!!!!

[The Youngn]

the accord is not the motor

[.blank cd]

the accord is not the motor
but it comes with said motor

[WhiteAccord]

duh... cmon mang.. use common sense.

[.blank cd]

i like mah new sig. looks dangerous :-D

[TheProfiteer]

the f series codes, how do they code, what would the code for the vtec block be, and what would the code for the non-vtec be?

[.blank cd]

f22b1 is vtec, b2 is non vtec

[bigdare23]

ZC all the way with a D16y8 intake manifold!


dohc???


if so, you cant swap intake manifolds on dohc zcs like that

[BlkCD5]

well, you accord owners know im pro F-series for boost. :D

[TheProfiteer]

Can any body link me to a how to write up on installing a turbo kit on a Y8, and maybe some tips on what would be the best cost effective items to use in a build.

Cause I have a y8 but it needs a rebuild anyway, so I figure I might as well rebuild it for turbo.

[Halfwit]

there is a dual cam zc, and a single cam zc.


z6 ftw. imo.


f22 may be good, but in a very heavy car, it will be pwnt by a turbo d in a hatch. stock vs stock.

better check that. 5th gen body doesnt weigh as much as you think. Power and torque that a turbo on this block puts out defninitly helps the power/weight ratio. curb weight on this thing is 2800 and change w/ a driver. and i plan on stripping the interior and replacing the fronts with some brides or recaros. The hatch may be about 2000. NE ways lemme finish my setup and you find someone i can run. boosted F series accords are ALOT faster than you think

good deal. no drama.

make sure u stay in touch. i am positive ill find someone with a stock turbo d. if not, ill have one ( also stock). 4dr eg.

when you say stock turbo, you mean stock internals correct?

[Halfwit]

when you say stock turbo, you mean stock internals correct?
yes. what i RLY meant was COMPLETELY STOCK. no upgraded injectors pump, intake manifold.

taht is what i will be.

stock injectors/ pump.
only a small turbo, 7 psi, no intercooler.

but im pretty sure that is not how u will be so what i think the paramiters should be is

upgraded fp, and injectors ok.

but nothing crazy like fuel rail, fpr, intake manny, tb upgrade,. those things add up when put together.

[.blank cd]

I already got a bored out TB and a spacer. the kit im getting has a FPR and bigger injectors. but no pump. but i gotta have an intercooler

[Halfwit]

deal. i may go ahead and do injectors, and an intercooler also. level it out a bit.

[Autoworks]

Z6 all the way

[The Youngn]

duh... cmon mang.. use common sense.
my statement was common sense. People call the car crap because we all feel the CAR is crap. If people felt the motor was crap they would say that the f-series motor was crap. duh

[AnTi-PooN]

i'm about to boost my freshly built d15 block with a z6 head should be fine for 12psi daily oh and it's sleeved and all or will be sleeved beasty

[112480]

Casey be sure to tape you and him! Obviously he doesn't FULLY understand "power to weight ratio"

[EmminoDaGreat]

me n liljames 93 are a close race, but i pwnzor him and he is d series in a 800lb lighter car and almost double boost

[112480]

me n liljames 93 are a close race, but i pwnzor him and he is d series in a 800lb lighter car and almost double boost
And he is 400lbs heavier than me! Trust me the hatch is where it's at. Now James don't make me get another hatch and do another D16Z6 build just to prove you wrong:taun:

[Halfwit]

hes not doing turbo anymore :(



me n liljames 93 are a close race, but i pwnzor him and he is d series in a 800lb lighter car and almost double boost
id like to see how i fare in a few weeks when i get mine done.

[§treet_§peed]

You are running 7 pounds and im running 10 pounds. I was ahead of you until 115 mph. I dont have that big of a power band. T25bb ftq (For The quickness)
I dont do big pulls like that im more of a 1/8 to a street light to street light car. LOL:tongue1:

Also Had joes 300 pounds of ass in my car so we were close. HAHAAHA. In weight that is.:crazy:

[fatman169]

he easy now its only a 250 pound ass thank u very much

dont have to make excuses you know the accord is your daddy, especially at the track. and only 6 psi :(

[jb55]

if you're wanting to stick with a d-series you already have then any would be fine for 8-9psi on most turbos. the z6 with a y8 intake manifold would be better if that's what you have.

im with this guy!!

[jdm4life]

z6 good luck
