well i bet he spent quite a bit to make a d16y5 have 380 hp. and i highly doubt he did it without nitrous,turbo, or supercharger. please let us know about his set up because i know no one likes vtec-e because its all about getting good gas milage. but im very interested on what his setup is.

if the d16y5 is anything like the 92-95 d15z1 VTEC-e, then it runs in 12 valve mode until "VTEC", at which it switches to 16b valve mode. If so, by simply running the VTEC solenoid open all time, you have a standard d16 16v SOHC engine which can be modded like any other.
