Hi,

i'd like to know if an intake manifold of D16Y8 can fit on D15Z6 ?
Thanks

 

Though I don't work with SOHC's that much, I'm pretty sure they're IN manifold bolt patterns are the same.

You mean a D16Z6 head.. Yes.. Any D-series intake will fit on any D-series head..

 

No my engine is D15Z6 (1.5 SOHC VTEC) but i ma not sure that you have this kind of motor in USA (I am living in France).

Thanks

 

Probably the same thing as our D15B7 but with VTEC I guess, hehe

Well my d15b7 intake manifold fits on to my d16y8 motor, So yes it will.. All d-series are interchangeable..

 

thanks man

could you give me your opinion concerning this engine ?
good to boost in turbo Greddy kit ?

 

What engine.. The D16Y8 or D15B7 engine.. Well I had a D15B7 but I blew it up because of boost but that motor was old and had alot of issues with it before I started boosting it.. The D16Y8 I've heard is a lot stronger motor to boost than the D15 ones.. But as of right now I dont know but I will tommorow.. I just finished installing my custom turbo kit on the new D16Y8 motor and probably will take it out tonight and boost around a little bit..

 

I have D15B7 : 2nd owner (always checked by Honda garage . first owner : an old woman)
65 000 miles that I want to boost with turbo kit greddy at 9 psi. Is it safe ?

Depends on alot of things.. What fuel management are you using.. What intercooler are you using, if any..

Tuning is about the biggest thing that will matter if it will work correctly.. But if everything is good and its tuned fine you should be about to run 9 psi daily and like 11 or so at the track with no problems..

I see you said a greddy kit, Im not sure what the blue box will support up to but if you wanna run that much boost then I would suggest getting something to retard the ignition timing under boost..

 

i can put the turbo kit greddy myself and concerning the fuel management, i will use VAFC hack with 440 cc. the real problem will be to tune correctly. I do not know how. i have only the basis set up.
at 9 psi, will i am obliged to retard the ignition timing ?

thanks

I would still retard the ignition timing.. Im not sure if the vafc will do it or not, I have never used one.. I would retard the timing at the distributor a few degrees just to be safe.. I have heard the vafc hack is pretty good at fuel management.. I would be safe and keep the boost at around 6 psi or so just to make sure everything is working good with no pinging or anything and turn the boost up slowly from there..

Are you using an intercooler?

 

I read in another forum "boosted-hybrid.com" that if I retard the timing to distributor, ECU automatically re-initialize the original degree when the car starts ?

yes, I will use an intercooler Greddy type 31 and bov greddy.

What year is your car and what ecu are you using..

 

year of my car 1996. concerning ECU, I do not know

 

Errrr... Your car has a crank fluctuation sensor on it.. I have heard that this sensor does adjust the ignition timing back into spec..

Hmmm.. Im not sure how to get around this.. Im guessing maybe if you unplug the sensor you could do it but then you would ride around with a CEL..

I wonder if you could get creative with the sensor and possible move it a little bit so that it would retard the timing for you..

Either way is you greddy kit for a 96-00 civic.. If so maybe they thought of a way around it or just ask around here on honda-tech to see if anyone else has done this or for that fact can verify what the crank flucuation sensor does..

 

i will plan to retard with MSD 6 BTM.
Is it good ?

question : what is it CEL ?

 

CEL is a Check Engine Light..

The BTM should work just fine..

 

thanks Tgreaves for all infos.

For french that I am, it is not easy sometimes to understand yours codes ...

are you working in automotive place ?

I read a post about cam timing settings where you gave your opinion (you disagree with the autor) and you sopke about a CRX very fast.

 

I dont work in an automotive shop or anything, Im just a honda racer for a hobby..

What cam timing post are you talking about, dont remember that one.. Paste a link in here to the thread to refresh my memory..

 

ah ok, you are so lucky to live in USA.

you have so parts very cheap (turbo kits etc ...) and you can find more easily all kind of parts for a custom kit ...

I am obliged to buy all parts for my turbo project in USA and it is very expensive ... but I buy each month some parts ...

and the problem in France is that there is not some goods tuners to set correctly the fuel management !!!

with some searchs in this forum and others, I found VAFC hack as FMU and it is great for me.

I will run a little bit rich but I will be safe.

I will not be able to tune with precision because I do not know how to adjust...

Really thanks for the infos a second time.
