i got a d16y8 (sohc vtec) and was wonderin what i could do to make it faster but stay all motor? Im not lookin to run 12s or anything but i do want some power. i have the simple bolt ons. I/h/e. Any thoughts on what else to get and what company is best/worst? ima 2nd yr college student so keep it on the...well cheap is a bad word to use but you know what i mean..Thanks

internals... u can do cam gears, i mean best thing is take ur head 2 a performance shop and do a port polish or something... valve kit...

homemade turbo kit. Can be done for as little as $500 (or so I have read...I personally wouldnt run a turbo kit that cheap unless I got the hook up on some good parts for SUPER cheap)

To me, that is the best bang for the buck. You can do minor bolt ons but you wont FEEL a significant difference unless you go all out, in which case it doesnt sound like you want to. You can get a turbo kit and run 7spi all day and have fun with that

Send your throttle body to maxbore. Either that, or find another TB and send it to him, and then swap them.

New Intake Manifold. Highflow Cat/Test pipe.

And the best thing to do that will make you faster. Take some weight off the car.

Otherwise you're gonna have to pay and get to the internals. Headwork is expensive, and no matter what you do you're not gonna get much more than a mid 14sec car probably unless you go all out. Even then, you're looking at maybe 160whp.

Best way to go would be to piece together a nice turbo kit. Honestly, there's no reason not to.

i know you said all motor but i gotta JRSC kit on my d16y8 it was $1995
http://www.jacksonracing.com the car is really a fun car to drive and it made quite a diffrence, its perfect for the daily driver

swap in an ls, its cheap and it will make you faster. or spend a little more and get a b16, or a little more for a gsr motor.

another semi cheap power additive is nos. nos is probally one of the most fun cheap power adders out there.

Also i ran into this problem because i originally had a 2000lx with cold air intake and muffler and i wanted more power. instead of turbo or nos or engine work i finally just saved up for a h22a and swaped it in. belive me this is the best way to go you will be much better off then the other power making mods

throw an edelbrock turbo kit on it. there kits are very good.

You can pick up a used one for a lot less than that. I picked up one for $550 still in decent shape. In all I've spent just under $750 for my entire setup down to the gauge pod and extra gauges.

You can piece together and entire turbo kit for about the same price, and it should give you more power, but you'd need to get rid of your header.

All it really takes is a bit of research.

swap out the block for an a6 or y7 or somthing....get higher compression.

your question is verry vague, which is leading me to belive that you havent searched.....so use the "search" option to look....but i'll cut you a break.

cams work verry well, look for skunk2 or OBX cams...make sure you get the milder ones not to have to upgrade your valvetrain. new higher compression pistons by JE work well aswell and a thin headgasket will also raise compression. last but not least, a hondata intake manifold gasket will keep the air from the intake cooler allowing "more" in due to density. this is all VERRY general, just search on the all-motor forums.

for u to gain a significant amount of power from a d16 and keeping it n/a will get pretty damn pricey really you wont notice much of difference with that engine no matter what you do, unless you boost it. I myself have the same engine except mine is a y7 (non vtec) im just gonna swap it out for a b16 once it goes, hope i helped at all. You could also bore it out and get internals.
