so i was going to rebuild a d16y8 im getting with vitaras and eagle rods but i wont have the funds i thought i would so now ive got to rebuild it very cheap.

im turboing my car and getting it tuned on with the engine in it now (d16y8) but its got 216000 miles on it so im gonna take a wild guess it wont last too long.

my question is if i just get the block honed, and get new rings, bearings and gaskets and rebuilt it very basically like that could i run 8 psi on the stock internals?

8psi on stock rods tells us nothing. 8psi from a gt28r vs a gt35r is totally two different things. anything 200 or less hp stock internals can handle.

CPreston

oh yeah im sorry youre right.

i think im just gonna rebuild with stock internals and when i get it tuned and aim for 180whp

apexi_rsx

should hold up fine at 180hp. i ran my stock Z6 for 3yrs on 10psi daily on a gt28r. i would port the oil pump some so it can flow alil more. if using conventional oil change it every 3k. oil moving through the turbo will cook it more then normal. It would be smart to install a oil pressure gauge if u dont already have one. goodluck

i will keep that in mind, only gauges i have right now are vacuum/boost and a wideband.

so as long as the rods are straight and the cylinders are pitted real bad i can just hone the cylinders and rering the stock pistons and then get new main, rod and thrust bearings and all new gaskets and ill be good
