I have a 1999 civic, D16Y8 engine. My turbo setup is as follows:
Garret t3/t04e turbo 47 trim with 50 a/r
Stainless steel turbo manifold
38mm waste gate
Greddy type s blow off valve
Street imports Bar and Plate front mount intercooler..the core is 18x9x2
Precision 440cc Saturated fuel injectors with clips
Chipped OBD1 (P28) ECU
OBD2B to OBD1 jumper conversion harness
Going to have it tuned with (Uberdata/Crome/Hondata etc.)

I just want advice on which PISTONS and RODS would be the best for this set up. Please advise, thanks.

pauter and cp pistons, pm earl he sells them

 

eagle is cp is my opinion, it doesnt sound like your goig to run massive amounts fo boost.... camp has a great combo deal on those too

 

I have Suzuki Vitara pistons with Eagle rods

Cheap pistons that will perform like expensive ones

 

eagle rods cant go wrong there

 

You'll be good to go with a set of SRP pistons and Eagle rods.

Pauter rods are way too expensive and overkill for his setup.

 

iv been hearing great things about wiseco's. I have not looked into prices much for all the different companies, but I suggest searching through the forums and seeing how each brands pistons and rods have held up. theres alot posts out there.

we all know boost is addicting, and beefy rods can never be overkill. . . .
I'm personally using maley (Full-Race) rods and cp pistons
on my built engine, not the current one. . .

Well, Eagles are good to 600hp so unless you are building an all out drag car, there's no reason to spend anymore money.

That's a timeslip from Brad Tyson's car. 7.87 @ 181 MPH, 3100 pounds. He turns 8500+ RPM's on a 347 ford. He runs OFF THE SHELF Eagle H-beam rods with ARP2000 bolts. Conservatively that's around 1600 flywheel horsepower. I find it very hard NOT to run Eagle H-beam rods after seeing quite a few people make tons of horsepower on them. Just because one or two people have a rod let go at 10000 RPM's doesn't automatically make them a bad rod. I run Eagle rods in my B16 and beat the hell out of it to 9000 daily.

 

Thanks for your advice guys. I plan on running 5-6lbs of boost on my stock internals. How much more boost can i run after i put in the pistons and rods? Please advise, thanks.

Well the weakest link on your motor is the Rods.. and its not really a matter of how much PSI but of how much HP they will hold...

I'd have to say ringlands have been on mine D16's.
