yeah switch the inake manifold to a y8, but if you do that you might as well put a y8 head on there as well and do a mini me, also get a y8 tranny and you'd be ready to go.

 

ZERODAZE..? how does the car feel with no Intercooler?

There IS an intercooler... it's right in front of the turdblow.

 

oh my bad, didnt see that part lolz.

 

Is what i circled your BOV? If not is that safe to run without a BOV?

 

That's kind-of an odd place for one, looks like it, though. You can run without one, but you'll wear out the turbo with the quickness, so basically, no.

It looks like one to me, but the placement isn't really that odd. Some people swear by mounting it to the intercooler.

I heard that the turbo lasts longer if its by the intercooler. I dont know why but im about to go turbo and all this info is really helpful to me. So is it better to go closer to the intercooler or is it just the same if its at the normal spot on the charge pipe?

 

To be honest with you everyone says something different. Lets be realistic if it was that bad to have to BOV on the intake arm we would know by now and everyone wouldn't have theirs there.

As far as the BOV is somewhere on the charge pipe and blowing off, you shouldn't have any problems especially if you are running low to moderate boost.

agreed, everyone has a different philosophy.
and yes that is my bov.. no the ic does not get too hot being that close to the turbo.. and yes the upper ic pipe is getting too warm, and there is a heat shield in the making.
oh, and as for the 4.9 fd. its accelerates fast as hell.

And I really enjoy the power it gives me and the reliability of a NA stock motor that puts out good HP.

Never had a Turbo Y7 so...not sure what its like. I ran into the same question before i did my swap and i choose B18B cause i liked the possibilities it would give me. Up to you????</TD></TR></TABLE>
same boat only my y7 had 30k on it. no regrets i love it

 

Ive got a CX which everybody knows that it doesnt get much weaker than that.
Therefore I am running a 75hp shot of Zex Nitrous with some extras, but I still get smoked in the quarter. That is why I need more POWER!!!!

 

As far as the BOV question here about placement, this is what it does. It keeps the pressurized pillar of air in the charge piping from slamming back into the turbine when the TB closes (hence, why auto car's don't necessarily need them). The closer you mount it to the turbo, the less air is shoved back into the rotating blades of the turbo (think about trying to grab a bike tire and spin it the opposite way when it's going 30mph). This helps to stop as much freeplay in the turbo.

 

hey i have a turbo d16y7 setup. whats your set up like? i have wrx turbo and rfl bov safc2 i havent installed the 450dsm injectors in yet, fmic. whats your set up like? to get high 13's thanks alot, also is your civic tuned toi get 30+ mpg

 

user "pearl" ran 13.6 on a y7 with z6 intake manifold and trans, on like 12 psi I think.

 

ya, I hear ya, I wanna put a light turbo (like 7lbs) on my stock D16Z6 w/ 90k on it and my friend says it's a really bad idea that I'm just gonna blow something w/ those internals :-\

 

i have zero experience with y7's but i've heard many of horror stories about d16y7/8 blocks spinning bearings....i read somewhere that the oil pump flows like 30% less than a z6......just a heads up man, good luck with the build

 

i have been on both sides of the rode...

2 LS-T set ups...
and currently a Z6 with a greddy kit....

both are fun.. which is more or less funnnnn , well a stock LS .. theres nothign fun about it... LAME
now a Y7 on 10psi what is it abotu a BOV that doesnt bring a smile to your face????

 

BOV for the win. Me and my brother are both going turbo. IM going b16a turbo and hes going d16y7 turbo ftw All motor is for that jdm fad.

 

i might be out of place but i got a 94 civic with a 96d16y7 that motor loves boost haha i got the cheapest setup with a t25 turbo from a mitsu, **** rips my management at the time is greddy bluebox with the fuel presure cranked up no prob. what so ever

 

you know anyone seeling some dsm 450cc and or with resistor box? how much gas milage you getting on dsm 450cc if ur using them

a friend of mine has a 95 hatch with a y7 and a silvia t25. at 6 pounds, he ran a 14.5 with a horrible 2.6 60 ft. now hes running falken azenis and 10 psi

 

One of the things that hurts D16Y7's the most, is the tranny. Get something with shorter gears, and the car will instantly wake up

 

def. run a y8 or z6 tranny i run a z6 tranny works good for me

 

i have a stock lx that i want to turbo and i know i can do it but what is the max psi that i can push without destroying the engine or having to rebuild it???
