yeah i was very skeptical of that because that is a lot of freakin boost on a high comp motor, what would yall say??? like 4, 5 or 6 at most?

forcefedferio

at first, i thought i was reading your numbers wrong. in all seriousness, i know it's "your car" but what is the point of spending so much time and money into an all motor SOHC? I've seen this time and time again over the years and the one phrase that comes to mind is "trying to get all motor power out of a single cam is like trying to fill a swimming pool with a squirt gun" Just a waste of money to me IMHO.

Redprelude98

i dont understand i never said i wanted to get all motor power....i would love to but there is not a way in hell that i could ever get the amount of power that i want out of just all motor.....but yeah i dont think i ever said that but i want to boost or go nitrous and in your sig does that say SOHC....???? just asking?

Boost pressure depends on turbo size

Do research before throwing money at your car

If you haven't swapped another engine in your car, you should be at 127 hp @ 6600 rpm & 107 ft·lbf @ 5500 rpm.

That's the stock y8. Looks like you gained a little torque and lost horsepower lulz

Redprelude98

yeah i know but maybe you should look more into that research because that isnt to the wheels there pal mine is.....and i am just going to go with a t3/t4 turbonetics....so yeah i have done my resarch

Redprelude98

i am going to get my manifold made from abel racing and get the rest from ebay because all that really would be is intercooler, intercooler piping, wastegate, boost gauge, bov,....etc.

BiggieBert

stay NA and to to Bisimoto, His **** is the best for tha D!

BiggieBert

come check out D-series.org, every build possible has been covered over here.

watisjdm

dang with small bolt on's and no internal work i made 126.4hp and 105tq on my y8

knivesout

I'd be careful about getting an ebay wastegate.

Redprelude98

but do you have a chipped/tuned ecu?

Redprelude98

ok hold on bisimoto i have heard of this person or whatever but idk what he is or who he is and how would i get a hold of him?

sde780

King of N/A d-series

Redprelude98

ok i figured that since that what everyone always talks about whenever they talk about anything that has to do with d-series

watisjdm

yeah chipped p28 but it was never tuned at all

Redprelude98

gotcha well idk that is weird how is it chipped but not tune i dont understand? but anyway that is why i have the factory ecu no chip or nothing

Redprelude98

anyway back to the boost what would be the most that anyone thinks that i could run if i were to ever run boost with a turbonetics t3/t4 turbo?

x2.

He is definitely well informed about cars. I also must agree on what he said earlier in regards to the money spent/power gained ratio. 120 hp on a SOHC is pretty good for what you have done, but by just reading your mod list I can see you dropped a dime or two. Just that full valve train alone must have been expensive, let alone your full Apex'i exhaust. With that money, you could have pieced together a nice turbo set-up and hit the 200 hp mark. But all in preference.

You should have no problems with the high compression set-up with a turbocharger as long as you don't skimp on the important stuff, like an awesome tune, the right fuel, etc. Just look at a B18C. People turbocharge those motors and they have higher compression. Plus your motor would be quicker than a stock d series turbo because you have already a good platform of mods you're building from.

Good luck.

Dude what the **** my go kart puts more horsepower than that....you did all that and u only got that much....my stock go kart gets more than that and its a briggs & strattion hahaha...and its all stock carter go kart..wtf do you have omg thats shity whp lol...my stoxk ls puts more than that

lileghatch

oh and my ls has a cracked block and not firing on 2 cylinders and it still puts out more hp haha

If your poor uneducated self is going to sit here and flame his thread then you should probably just leave now. The very least you can do is organize that jibberish into some form of constructive criticism. But seeing as how your have the grammar and spelling of an eight year old then don't bother. I know what would be too much for your 1 brain cell to handle.

If you actually knew anything about a d series engine, let alone read any of the other posts, you would realize that those numbers are pretty good to say the least. Do us all a nice favor and find some other poor user to pick on, essentially making yourself feel better in the process.

OP, ignore the jerk.

lileghatch

ok here you go perfect grammar since you cant understand....your dyno posting of your engine is extremly shity..my ls that has a cracked block and not firing on two clyinders..it still puts out more power than your y8 i mean you put so much money into it and got nowere lol...i vote that you throw that engine away and put a go-kart motor in there and youll have way more power hahahaha

i agree and i am not trying to be a dick. a low comp d motor and some boost would of been my route from the start. or just going turbo on the stock d, those engines are a dime a dozen. but atleast you have a engine with a bunch of new parts :-)

no need to be a dick. its not like we don't know swapping a motor would be the best way for power, sometimes people prefer to work with what they got. and there is nothing wrong with that. not everyone is trying to have a 300 hp street civic. stockish ones are fun too :-)

forcefedferio

i assume when putting astronomically high compression pistons in, your goal is all motor so i didn't feel it necessary to try to read between the lines. and yes my signature does say SOHC, but it also says turbo. Because turbo is the only way a sohc is worth the time of day.

lileghatch

ya i guess i dont have to be a dick....iam just saying that an all motor d16 is pretty gay and pointless...i had a d16y8 at one time but it was boosted and i was around 225 whp or mmore idk anymore nnow i have a type r thats boosted so iam set
