What it says up top. I've done the search and haven't found much. I just recently dynoed my turbo d16z6 and at 8psi spiking to 10psi only put down 180whp. I dynoed before the motor was built and at 11psi put down 211whp. I think that the vtec isn't kicking in because at 6500 rpm, the horsepower curve is dropping off. Thanks

those seem like good numbers on a D16, what is your turbo set up exactly? Im constantly hunting for turbo D16 info, so I posted this same question a while back, check it out: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=131051

200 or so horsepower is my ultimate goal right now, I just have to figure out the best way to get there and maintain reliability and drivability.

here is mine.

this was 5 psi, non-intercooled, on a totally stock motor.

the car is a 97 Civic EX with a D16Y8.

btw: the car is for sale if anyone is interested.

drive safe,

I basically have the drag turbo kit, with built motor. Eagle rods, srp pistons, blockguard, ferrea valves, web cam springs and retainers. I have the hondata 3b also. I was gonna tune for 15psi but the horsepower curve seems to drop off at around 6500 rpm and the tuner said that somehow, airflow is being restricted so we stopped there. I have to figure out why the horepower dives after 6500. I'll try to get a pic up later on tonite.

Here' the link to the dyno graph. Let me know what you think could be causing the dip at 6500rpm..

i just had mine dynod on saturday at extreme motorsports in maryland,
i lyed down 229 whp and 190 ft lbs of torque. at 12 psi with stock sleeves and no block guard. the rest is built (see sig) and a hondat 2b... could have put more down but i ran the dsm 450cc injectors to the limit (100% duty cycle @7400)
i would post the gragh but i have no one hosting it so i cant.
i love making the under dog go faster......
SOHC all the way!!!!!!!
