I am running a stock D16y7, and I am about to turbo it. I am wanting to run around 8psi, is this safe to do with stock injectors, or should I upgrade to the slightly larger H22 injectors? Also is it safe to run without tuning it? Or should I tune it? And to tune it will I need to OBDI convert it or can you tune the OBDII?

lets see..

1)you can run stock injectors

2)no

3)yes

4)no, but it would be damn easier

Linked

you sure he can run stock injectors? any possibilities of having them fail on him?

thatcivic96

okay, so what is the best and easiest way to convert it to ODBI?

thatcivic96

okay, so I will save my money on injectors to convert to ODBI.

jyacoba2009

well if he doesnt wanna go stock, get some y8 injectors

Mufasa

Tune, or else all that time and money would be wasted..

thatcivic96

how safe are y7 injectors with 8psi?

jyacoba2009

yea, best to play it safe.. get some y8 injectors, it'll be good enough

thatcivic96

and then best way to convert to OBDI so I can get it tuned? Would a street tune be good enough or should I have it tuned on a dyno?

Another quick question: I have a body kit of my civic, and my bumper support didn't work with the bumper, it was too tall to fit in the bumper so I had to remove it, how can I attach the front mount IC?

Linked

fabricate yourself a bracket so it mounts up to the rad support somehow

jyacoba2009

i actually dont know how to convert to obd1 with an obd2 motor.. ima stick around and see if someone answers ur question...

but, to make it easier on yourself.. scrap the body kit, make your car look CLEAN, like you just drove it from the production line

thatcivic96

eh, I like the looks of it. Yeah I am one of those people. I have thought about going back to stock look, but can't do it, too much money wrapped up in it. When I do my next car though, deff clean it up and lip kit it.

But I may need to run a piggyback? I can ask the shop owner I buy all my stuff from if I don't get an answer and will let you know what he says.

But yes flame away if needed about my body kit likings. It's a drifter front, not very showy imo

Y7 injectors can barely hold up to a mini me swap. Just get some y8 or b series injectors they can be had for cheap.

Remember
y7=190cc
Y8=240cc (b18a/b, b16, and b18c also)

thatcivic96

in all reality, could I weld it up? Or should I look into maybe a side mount?

thatcivic96

okay, that's a good comparison, thanks. I will grab some off my buddy's car that he is parting out.

jyacoba2009

@fastrxu: i thought the y8 had same injectors as a b, but werent too sure

and piggybacking isnt too good of an idea.. you could do it, if you really want too

Linked

dont mean to thread jack,

but does that mean i can boost my z6 with stock z6 (240cc) injectors to about 5-8 psi?

thatcivic96

that appears to be so. I have been told don't push more than 8-9psi with it.

But I found out they make harnesses to convert from OBDII to ODBI and you can use a stock SI or EX(ODBI) ECU and tune it that way.

jyacoba2009

hmm thats what i thought.. but i wasnt too sure..

like.. i got a 96 civic, drop a z6 vtec into it.. probably need that obd2a to obd1 harness plus a p28 ecu [92-95 ex/si].. and get that **** tuned ASAP..

but in your case, switch the p28 to a p06 [92-95 dx]

thatcivic96

why a p06? Why not run a p28 chipped? I am going to a junk yard(pic-a-part) and see what ECUs they have here in about 2 weeks, so I am wanting a list of what all models to look for.

The harness costs $60 from the shop I buy my stuff from if it helps you out any.

jyacoba2009

well i cant really say anything about running a p28 chipped, cuz i dont have knowledge

but idk how you can run a VTEC ECU in a non vtec car

i pref street tune. you don't race or drive around on a dyno every day soo. street tune,
