ok i have a civic with a built d16z6. i just wondering what kind of power i can expect for this set up, here a list

d16z6
block hot tanked, honed, resurfacedn notched.
head hot tanked, resurfaced, 3 angle valve job, new stem seals
aem fuel rail
aem fpr
880cc precision injectors
dsm resister box
eagle h-beam rods
vitara 75mm low comp pistons
new acl and main bearings
new king thrust washers
new piston rings
16g turbo
skunk2 catback
aluminum radiator
act clutch

it is street tuned on 8psi on e85 right now. i was wondering what it would make(estemate) on 15psi, 18 psi, and 20 psi. i wanna keep it safe but get what i can out of it at the same time.
thanks everyone! oh ya its in a 94 rhd coupe

Whats your turbo setup?

 

I would guess somewhere around 300-320ish depending on how well that turbo performs and what exhaust your running, get it tuned and the dyno will tell you

 

With these items, youll be lucky if it lasts above 300hp for very long.

And a 16G is not gonna see a lot of HP either.

 

why did you include the vitara pistons in your quote??

 

Sigh, turn it up and find out!

 

vitara's can handle more than 300whp ???

 

Vitaras can handle alot of power. The 16g won't make enough to worry about.

 

knew that, but just wanted to know why he thought the Vitara's wont last very long?

 

Vitaras are junk IMO. They arent meant to make huge amounts of power. The power you make with that 16g will be fine with vitaras.

 

i had a bone stock b18c with 7psi that made 261 whp on 93 oct. i just wondered what the single stick would make on a lil higher boost and slightly built up and on e85. thanks guys ill post results when its all said and done!

 

It will make good power. Just get a bigger turbo, when I bought my kit it has a Super 16g and I decided to go with a 60-1.

 

Lol junk piston that works like a mother especially coupled with the custom length rods

 

just go somewhere around 300, anything past 350 is just going to spin the wheels with out slicks or radials

 

^pretty much. I never understood why people do 450+whp street cars with toyo proxie 4's or boost by gear.

get it to hook with 300whp and you will **** on about 95% of cars out there

 

so 300 whp is pretty save for this setup then? cuz that sounds legit to me. i had fun with 261 whp in my first turbo civic

 

I mean, from a certain perspective, 600 whp might not be a lot I guess..?

 

ihope the d series trans can hold up

 

if not they are cheap
I got one I can sell ya for $100

 

haha ya thats why i love me a nice lil d series. parts = dime a dozen!

 

because we want to **** on 100% of the car out there


original poster., your motor will handle more power than the 16g will make, as was said previously.

 

If your worries about the trans do the D2B conversion pretty easy

 

it can make plenty... guy ran in the low 12's on street tires with a 16g... I think you'll be happy with the 16g for a street car...

do you live under a rock? show some me instances of these items failing due to manufacturing issues, and I'll show you a ton of examples of them not... especially the vitaras...

Tons of people run that stuff, without issue...

 

see, the problem is most people dont come to the internet to brag about breaking parts or blowing motors, but everyone comes to brag when they succeed or do good.


i myself melted the intake reliefs off of two vitaras, and put so much heat into them they got swollen up and murdered my cylinder walls. im not blaming the piston, all it takes is a little too much timing.

the car still ran great how ever, 150psi across, i only tore it down because of unrelated failure. lol

 

d2B?

i have seen h2b. but not a d2b conversion? any more info on this.?

and vitaras are awesome. i love mine.
