All Motor D16 vs Turbo D16...???

[crabby760]

curious wich would be best for the most POWER on a d16y8 motor

all motor fully built top to bottome with Nitrous?

or turbocharged...?


anyone know what a d16 can produce full built N/A...?
anyone know what a d16 can produce full built Turbo...?

i say motor swap and turbo, but if u really want to use your d16, still turbo.

[civickiller]

yup turbo

Boost it. A $1600 Greddy kit will make your sohc more powerful and cheaper than a B16A2 swap.

boost, to hell with teh nawz

[95dxcivic]

an engine is not all motor with nitrous.

I agree with everyone else, turbo.

[crabby760]

any ideas on what a fully built d16y8 can produce on the BOTTLE?

and a full built d16 turbo..?

[crabby760]

and how much horsepower do u think i can get out of my d16y8 motor on stock internals with the greddy turbo kit... with intercooler and boost controller up the boost how high could i go and how much hp could i get out of it..?

curious thanks

With the Greddy kit you'll see about 200-210 wheel horsepower and torque at 9psi on stock internals. No matter how tempting, I'll warn you now not to go past that. I have a track buddy with a DX hatch running 18psi with a full build, but don't know how much hp he has. I'm guessing 280whp ballpark..?

[97CivicX]

yea, 215whp is a ballpark figure for when you should start upgrading internals. you can go more than that but reliable tends to take a turn for the worst

[d16civic]

definatlly turbo. but if you are going to be using stock internals consider a good engine management,injectors,fuel pump,boost controller,etc...

[lkailburn]

i hear about 210whp is about the max you can put down with an all motor D. and as noted above, all motor DOES NOT ALLOW nitrous.

for turbo on a stock D, don't go over 200whp to play it safe for a daily driver.

deffinitly go with boost, there are so many reasons i couldnt even begin to name them but, cheap, readily available and efficient are the first things that come to mind.

im almost done putting together my setup for my y7, here's a link with pics:
