I'm putting together a D16z6 engine for my daily. I have the head and block, and am currently looking at a JDM intake manifold/TB combo for cheap. What is the difference? Should I grab this combo and be done with it? Thanks.

Get a D16Y8 manifold or get an aftermarket one like edelbrock

I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible. So far, I've heard the JDM manifold will work. Is this true?

sure it will work but this isnt a build your just putting a stock motor together right?

SHG_Claudio

If you're on a budget, the D16Y8 ('96-00 Civic EX) intake manifold is your answer. With its short runners and fat plenum this is essentially putting a Type R intake manifold on a B series, but still not nearly as good as aftermarket units. The JDM intake manifold you're probably referring to is the D15B probably. Its equal to the D16Z6 motor here. It will most likely be about the same.

I don't have experience with it so keep this thread floating to get more answers. As long as they have FITV and IACV too like here then you should be fine.

JohnnyWash1

Yes, I made a typo in the title. I'm simply putting a stock motor together.


Thanks for the advice. I've heard the Y8 manifold is better for performance; however, I have located a JDM D16z6 manifold and TB for cheap ($40).

There's no such thing as a jdm D16Z6. The jdm equivalent is the D15B, JDM motors don't have a number at the end. Go for it. Sounds like a good price

JohnnyWash1

Thanks. In the ad he labeled it "D16 JDM intake manifold and TB". I simply assumed it was the Z6.

Y8 Manifold is the best D series Manifold.

I want to rebuild my Sol's D16 too. I would like to get as close to 200hp as
possible. I don't want to use a turbo or supercharger, N.O.S. etc. I have owned my Honda since 94 and got 380,000 miles out of it. I don't intend to race around but a little extra muscle over stock would be nice. Any help or advise would be appreciated. I don't know much about the honda tuning world.

Thanks

get the stock z6 mani and a integra tb

B series TB is useless unless the plenum is bored out.

200hp NA? I don't think so. Its possible but its very expensive and not worth it at all. 130WHP would be more reasonable goal. Intake, header, exhaust and cams could probably get you in that zone. Yeah expensive as hell for not a whole lotta power, imagine 200whp.... 200whp is fast too btw.... Swap or boost.

Jimster480

if you boost it you can make 200WHP easy. Otherwise you can do intake, header, exhaust, E3 plugs, Heat Sheilding Intake Manifold Gasket, Port Matched Y8 Intake Manifold, and Throttle Body Coolant Bypass. With all that you should make atleast 130WHP.
