whats up guys. I have a 93 del sol s. got it this past summer. it has some issues but i liked it because it was stock. I dont like buying other peoples projects. anyways. started out by addressing the major concerns such as tie rods, axle, fluids, timing belt, valve adjustment, gaskets and such. then I got some new blox suspension and fixed some cosmetic things. so here I am not even10k miles later and its swap time. My d15 burns quite a bit of oil so a new motor is in need. Now for the swap I will be doing a d16y7 block with d16y8 head. Yes it is basic and slow and pointless to do so before everybody knocks on me for this lame swap I will explain that I am doing it because I have the motor complete on an engine stand just sitting there already. I didnt pay for it. I will do all the gaskets and such clean everything paint and powder a few things and throw it in. I researched a bunch but could find little on people doing this minime in a 2nd gen obd1 car so I will need some help as I go.
first question being does anyone know the compression ratio of a d16y7 block with d16y8 head on top. I found all the other ratios with the d15 blocks and others using d16a6 pistons but couldnt find this setup.

heres a couple pics to start feel free to input



still thinking what im gonna do as far as paint for VC. prob wrinkle black

More jealous of that lift I see behind that motor

looks like that motor burst into flames at least once lol

I just googled that question you had and got 9.96:1 compression

ya the motors pretty dirty but were gonna fix that. and it looks like ill have to show a pic so you can see the garage. thanks for that. I tried searching for that but couldnt find it.



my next question is what throttle body can i Use i read a lot about needing the y8 but wasnt sure. this is obviously a obd1 car.

Lizardslap

thats a really Nice shop


the y8 manifold should plug right up but theirs one or 2 sensors your probably gonna have to lengthen the wire for it.
im not sure but your gonna need the 2wire iacv???


gonna have to run a some wires for the vtec as well

i know about the vtec wiring but have read mixed things on what throttle body/ iac to use. i couldnt find the exact answer on what iac i need.
also its 5 speed

Lizardslap

look at your iacv does it have 3 wire plug to it or 2 wire plug

I have a y8 manual manifold that uses the 2wire iacv on my car

Im *guessing* 3wire because its an S

but you can put a y7 throttle body on the y8 manifold and it has a 3 wire right on the throttle body instead of 2 wire one Manual y8 manifolds have on the back of them or none on the auto manifold

a little new to tuning so don't hit me too hard for this stupid question guys.. where could i get forged pistons for an engine like this? i tink its the same engine i got in my 93 ex coupe. how could i get more power without going turbo?? i already have cold air intake, and a 4-2-1 header setup.

SirProject

its a different motor but there are all sorts of pistons for these motors. and as far as more power with going turbo would be better motor

oh and for those who havent seen the car its going in here it is
