d16y8
eagle rods
JE pistons (not sure on compression)
blockguard
V-AFC w/missing link, 12:1 FMU, DSM 450's, walbro 255lph, whatever else I need
ACT HDSS clutch w/ fidanza or CM flywheel
HKS Hiper 2.5" cat-back exhaust

What I'm wondering is can the V-AFC handle this kind of setup?

i ran 15 on a stock d16z6 with no tuning. i'm sure you'll be fine.

I see you said "ran", as in the past tense. Did it blow up?

b16ahybrid

well figure out what your compression is because that will play a major role in how much boost you can safely run.You won't need 12:1 fmu with those injectors,some people just use the 450's and v-afc.

MatT3T4

Only after 6 miles of redline pegging at 145mph...

But besides that, it was fine. I blew it because I felt like being an *******. Other than that, you'll be fine, the V-AFC can do that.

b16ahybrid

Yeah but we all know that your crazy

MatT3T4

The doctor says that there is nothing wrong with me...??

b16ahybrid

but your history proves otherwise

MatT3T4

I know not what you speak of, sir.

you'll be fine, ditch the FMU and you dont really need the fuel pump either. oh yea and you dont need a missing link with the afc setup at 10psi.

I run 10psi all the time on my stock Y8 with just V-AFC and 450's. stock fuel pump and it works great.

I'm running 8-10lbs of boost daily on completely stock Y8 internals. I'm running DSM 450s and an AFC.

wusup im new. just a quick question. the old D16 seems pretty tough cuz im reading u guyz are running like 8+PSI on stock internals? anyone know about the new D17 motor? is it just as strong/stronger? ive seen one 7thgen with turbo 198whp with 8psi.. stock internals from wut i hear. dont know how long the motor can handle 8psi daily driven.
i hope to have my turbo put in sometime in summer 03' hopefully rev hard will have their kit released or atleast their manifold

Man you should be looking at 10 psi + with your set up.

Like the guy's said ditch the fmu and missing link, you won't need it running the afc hack. Sell that and spend the money on a boost controler. A boost controler on a sohc is a must to increase the spool up and and increase the wham bam when the turbo kicks in.

over 11psi you will have to swap the map sensor with a gm 3bar, and a fuel pump (which you have, unless its an inline) would be recommended. I would say try for 14psi.

Best of luck and let us know how it turns out, sounds like you got potential for a sick soch setup bud.

You'll be fine.

Anyone else?

If you can supply your a/f ratios, egts, and timing under boost, I can intelligently answer your question.

At least a/f's and base timing would help.

Thanks and good luck

Get Hondata don't **** around with shitty hacks and other such crap you obviously are trying to get a decent setup there, get hondata first you can boost 10psi easily I wouldn't do it everyday though... Then get the aftermarket rod's and pistons and run some real boost through it..

I would say **** the afc hack and save up for a hondata. I fully built my d16 and all I have to show for it is 10psi.....cant go much higher without some other type of management....10psi is fun but it is not what I was expecting. 15-20psi, now that sounds fun. My motor is ready for it, just need to save up for the hondata....
