Turbo SOHC

[jerseyef9]

i have always think about building a sohc vtec and boost it
my overall goal is bout 400whp
wit stock sleeves just rods pistons block guard and built head
just need some opinions ppl
so all the negative comments keep it for your mama

[BTEC]

i think it possible but the only way i can think of ur gonna have to upgrade ur valve train and when u do make the power it will be useless and ur stock sleeve wont hold it too many times. No nitrous involved in my recipe.

[jerseyef9]

yeah man i love it thanks for the help man
i don't think i would use the bottle unless i sleeve it

[BTEC]

why do u want to go with stick sleeves? other than the fact it costs around a grand to sleeve a block still.

[jerseyef9]

true man i mean i am on a budget man......plus i just posted a video about a sohc wit stock sleeves and its makin 500whp that wit high tuning and i am willin to spend on that mostly so i am down wit for now man

Pistons and rods with a nice turbo setup on around 26-28lbs on race gas will net you around or over the 400whp range. You dont need a block guard nor do you need to build the head. Building the head will only alow you to make the power easier on less boost.

so ur saying he can just put rods and pistons and a turbo kit and make over 400 to the wheels in a otherwise stock d series? no sleeves, no block guard, stock valve train? i usually dont call ppl out on something unitl i PERSONALLY try it myself but that has to be the absoulte dumbest advise ive ever heard.

at what point would a stock d-series float a valve? And how high would he have to rev it to get that power? Past valve float on stock springs im sure.

u can push over 20 psi one stock sleeves without even a block guard? Hell no.

If it was that easy, why are ppl still making a big deal out of making 300 on d-series engines?

its all on the tuner and how well the motor was built.

im doing it right now with a d16z6. but im sleeving the hell out of it. im sarting my build thread soon but i think you should do it.

[WalkS]

I say if your on a real tight budget, try the vitara setup. It's cheap, loved, hated but sometimes successful. But the real draw back of it is the low c/r, which yields about 7.5c/r. I've done it before; tuner toys rods, vitara pistons, arp head studs, acl race bearings, JG Engine Dynamics valve train. All of that cost me under 1 grand. Hope this gives you another option

[-S Double C-]

they make custom length rods now to make vitara pistons 9:1

fjdistributors.com is your best friend for d-series.

Well i have learned alot but the whole just piston and rods so so risky i'm not doubting you man cause i'm not one to shoot someone down on their i rather appreciate than anything man BTEC man your are very knowledgeable man i'm glad you getting the knowledge to man

ive been around for a while so i think i know a little bit. arp head studs, arp mains if u can afford the extra security bc u will have to rev the hell out of it. at least a block guard. Valves, springs and retainers which also will allow u to rev the hell out of it. Rods and pistons. Those are the basic components youre going to need to build a reliable boosted engine as far as the internals are concerned. Of course u know to get new bearings, oil pump, etc...

When u actually start getting parts together, call mainstream or do ur homework and go to RELIABLE sources for you info. Its going to add up but when u get it done ull be happy that u didnt take short cut and blow all ur shit up.

Have u ever had a boosted car before?

[jerseyef9]

I don't know about buddy build man thats honest man its kinda cool i wanna how long it hold up? I never boosted a car before man so all the knowledge is circal man so please pour it on me

[BTEC]

lol!! when u get ready to start buying stuff post up the stuff u have in mind for everybody to critique it. Like how much power with these parts. why u chose them. and why u trying to make "X" amount of power.

Do some homework. See what kinda power other ppl are making and what they are using to make that kinda power. Try to fid out why they chose those parts. Then make u a solid list of parts u prolly gonna get then holler back. Dnt come with a million different sets of rods pistons, a t25 or ysk turbo,etc...

Post it like this.

Head: btec performance Valves, springs and retainers
btec stage 3 port and polish
3 angle valve job

Block: Je pistons
Eagle rods
Micropolished crank
ACL rod, main and thrust bearings


etc.....

the dude from honda tech is questionable. for one his screen name is fast 2 cam civic bt he talking bout a d-series and never see a pics or video of the car. the link he posted didnt work but whatever.

you can post all the vids u want but that is kinda far fetched for me to believe unless i see it in person.

I can post times slips and dyno graph of big daves supra putting dwn 800 whp and act all surprised and post his 9 sec times slip. Would u believe that was my sohc civic too? Just making a point man, dnt get offended.

that car has a baby tune on it too he said he only wanted 400whp and he wanted to do it safely. i agree your pushing the shit out of the stock sleeves around 20+ psi and its not safe but it can be done.

do you know the efficency range on the turbo hes using? my last turbo was about the same size as the one hes using. do u know how much timing he was running. how much about tuning cars do you know?

[-S Double C-]

yeah it's good for 400-500whp, my g/f's brother is using the same turbo and making 326whp on 18lbs with a stock head rod/piston y8. Ive never tuned a car myself however ive had over 20 swap easily, was the first in ga to do the H2B swap and ive had a dozen of boosted cars so you tell me? I know my stuff bro.

you know some but you dnt enough. i sold my old b16 tranny to a guy dwn south with a camo colored hatch. i think he said he was the first one to do the h2b swap. Dead serious. See what i mean? Everybody has claims but how many are true?

[BTEC]

just saying dont believe everything u read on the internet. ppl can post whatever they want and u think "oh i can do that" and blow ur shit up. theres ppl here in ga that have shot for high numbers in a d series, made it and blew up.

you made it sound like u can find enough stuff laying around in a tool bag and throw a 400 whp d-series together over night. just saying its not that easy.
