anything on a d16y8 sohc?

Obsessed w/ turbos are we? I've never posted on this forum before, but I noticed theres somethings I disagree w/. The y8 is not the strongest d series in my opinion, it's intake and exhaust ports are to restrictive and need to be reshaped and opened up to flow better than a near stock z6 head and even then the z6 head can have more work done to it and flow better than the y8 will ever be able to. The y8 head does have a slightly better chamber design over the z6, but in my opinion for a higher out put motor the z6 is a better choice. If were talking rods all d16 rods handle about the same amount of power. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not hating on the y8 motor. I currently have a y7/y8 mini me and I'm going back to the y7 setup to show what it can do. Like a buddy of mine stated, " vtec's not god ".

Hey Silver! I noticed a nice quote By good old Mista Bone, " anything a b series can do, a d series can do for cheaper ". Not picking on you but, there are more options out there as far as cams go for the z6. Also you know Crane cams asked comp cams for help in redesigning there cams?

Also, this one raised an eye brow. 320 hp on a stock bottom end? I don't believe it at all, not even w/ shotpeened rods.

Everyone keeps talking about turbos, the guy is on a limited budget and it doesn't sound like this is not the route he wants to go at this time. Turbos are killer don't get me wrong, I have a 77 corolla project thats going to be receiving a t3/t4 hybrid( oh, that cars going to be fun). I also noticed a recommendation that he should add compression instead of messing w/ the top end. I also don't agree w/ this notion, at least not at this point in his build. Your head is were the biggest gain in powers going to come from on an n/a motor. Right now adding compression is only going to be about a 3% raise in power for every point in compression gained. An example being gudes head packages, Head work, cam, milled head, ported intake mani and throttle body='s 55 more ponies to the wheels on average,I know it's a complete package, but it shows how much can be gained from the top end. Before I end here, I would like to say that in my opinion the best bang for the buck is throttle in a bottle!

I also forgot to add this to my previous post for the guy working on his getting all the parts to complete his y7/y8 mini me. I would not run the y8 ecu w/ this setup due to the simple fact that the y7 has no previsions for a knock sensors unlike the y5 and the y8, I would instead get a p28 obd1 ecu and get hondata for tuning, you will be happier in the end.

Sorry you don't believe it but it's ALMOST true. I mis-typed that. I meant 302whp and not 320whp. Dyno graph speaks for itself:
