what do you guys think a good sohc turbo kit is for the money? im lookin into boosting my d16y7

 

hey man sorry i didnt see your post let me know what picture you want on the front page

 

i parted my turbo together for about 1800 but thats without any pipings for clamps or anything like that though. or you can get a good quality one for about 2500 from go-autoworks

 

Would it be wise to boost a d16y7 on about 140k? Compression is ok no leaks, i just want a mild boost, yea i was thinking of go autoworks, i dont want ebay junk

 

What kind power? What's dOne to the motor already? Track or daily?

 

i guess we can go with this one for now. car is super dirty in this pic, i can clean it and get a new pic if you would like. just let me know.

 

d16y7 140k, not abused, y8 intake manifold and thats basically it, was thinking new arp headstuds, head gasket?

id like to start off at about 150-170whp, nothing too crazy

daily

 

let me know if you wanna do a new pic its cool

 

yaaaaa build thread updated

 

If you just want a daily, I'd say getting an eBay kit isn't that bad. Now, if you start running it hard, mid install it, or it's got anything wrong with it, you can say bye bye to your motor.

 

You think a ebay kit would suffice for just like 150whp ish, and maybe down the line replacing some parts from it, like turbine and manifold?

 

honestly ebay has gotten alot better with thier stuff. the turbo that is on my car is a ebay turbo and its been on there for 4 years, and still works great no leaks, no shaft play. the ebay manifold cracked so i got a full-race manifold. the intercooler piping tht comes with the kit doesnt fit right so youl have to get different piping, but some of the kits on there now have good piping. the only real problem is the downpipe, it almost never fits. you either have to do extra bending/extending or just have one made. the wastegates and bov's tht come with the kits work just fine, mine are still from the original ebay kit i got 4 years ago and they still function properly. my kit started out as a ebay kit and all i changed was the manifold, intercooler (got a full-race intercooler in a trade, ebay one worked fine) and the intercooler piping (got new piping from ebay, its just not the original set) downpipe (because of course it didnt fit right, so i made one)


with my kit i made 376whp and 285 wtq with a stock engine, its all in the tuning. that lasted about 11 months then my fuel system crapped out on me and of course the engine followed shortly after.

 

some proof before it turns into a big debate. it was tuned by Tony Palo himself at T1 Racing in Arlington Texas. and he actually liked my setup enough, he gave me a discount on the tuning services.

 

if i want to push more power safely should i just invest in new rods and pistons? i read on d-series.org that the stock head can usually handle up to 350ish hp?

 

There is people making over 400 on a bone stock head.....that's not to say with head work it would make more power.....just random out my *** numbers you may be able to make the same power on 7lbs less boost with headwork.....if your shooting for low 300s I wouldn't worry about it

 

so what did you sohc guys do this weekend? my idle was HIGHLY fluctuating from 1k-2k rpm so i had to take off the TB and intake and have a field day with those lol, i think the guy i bought it from put an y8 automatic manifold and tb on it?

 

yes you can make good power on a stock head, my head is still completely stock, but i have srp pistons and eagle h-beams with king bearings.

 

is your check engine light on?? if not, check your coolant level. it in fact may be the throttle body but every time i see a honda with a idle surge the first things i check is cel and coolant level. if the cel is on then check your IAC Valve, it may need to be cleaned or replaced.

 

just build the whole motor so you dont have to worry about it in the long run

 

^ what i was thinking, my car is about to get a whole new setup soon ill be sure to post some pics, too many parts in the mail, anyone of you sohc guys got a y7 stock manifold for sale?

 

wat up guys sorry i have been mia for a bit i have been swamped at work and trying to do the build and everything i have alot of new parts for the rex and all but damn i feel out of place in this thread now everyone is boosted lol every ones lookin real good tho keep it up guys

 

anyone got a stock d series header + cat (or d16y7 header) for sale :s my header is junk on right now.

 

sent my cam in to delta today to get it regrind to the same profile as the bisi 2.4 cant wait till i get it back and get it tune!!!!! hopefing for 350

 

WOOT WOOT.... i love my 272-2 you'll be really happy with it...slight loppy idle but not to bad....hold power to the upper r's...and well it wont break in half like bisi's piece of crap products


got a little done...tried my hand out at porting, i think it came out better than expected....had to match my 70mm throttle body to thew 65mm opening on the edlebrock



And a little comparison between the z6 and perf. X intake manifolds

 

ah i just got my 272-2 in the mail a few weeks back. I need to install it still!!! Im hoping for well over 400whp
