Alright, this will be my first personal build, let alone one of my first times dealing with forced induction. I'm trying to mildly boost my D16 to make some decent power, yet still be able to beat the kids with their stock B-series they claim are so fast. As of now, I'm planning on buying a Y8 head and tranny to put on my Y7. I want to resurface, and get a valve job, upgrade the valve springs and retainers, and put an integra throttle body on, and port match the intake mani. I'm a little stuck on what cam to purchase though, because I wanna have my headwork done this summer, and run it n/a until next summer when I'll have more time and money to build my bottom end for the turbo. I want a cam that I'll we see some sort of gain from n/a, yet will still gain in the turbo area. I've been looking at Crower's cams, yet Bisi seems to know what he's doing. Anyone have any experience here? Of course I'll get headstuds, prolly ARP. And for my bottom end, I plan to put in Vitara pistons, and some sort of upgraded rods, and hone the cylinders. I will be using a 1st gen Talon/Eclipse turbo setup, or possibly some parts off of a T-Bird, and of course bigger injectiors (450?). Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks guys!

 

sounds like you've got a good start on things...

for a mild build, look into a bisi 1.2 cam... Or contact them with specific details and they could advise you.. but for a mild build, that'd be a good way to go probably..

a 14b isn't a bad way to go, but if you're going the dsm route, look at a small (or even better, large) 16g... much greater potential...

 

Thanks man, that's what I'm stuck on are the 2 issues you touched. I don't know whether I should go Crower stage 1 or 2, or Bisi stage 1.2, 2, or 2.4. Because I want to have great potential, yet still daily drive it. And as for turbos, why would you suggest 16g over 14b? I've been confused on this.

 

Anyone?
