500hp?

Full engine build, crazy turbo setup. Looking anywhere around 5-10g's depending on parts used, labor, etc.

Shoot for 200-300hp, its much easier to use and a lot cheaper.

Yea dude, its not as easy as just buying the parts.

yeah, high hp sohc wont be very streetable. i have a y7 with a little buildup and a turbo, and its very streetable and still fun to drive

18 year old kids crack me up.

Your goals are way too high to achieve.

If you refuse to swap, then shoot for something realistic to start with like 200whp.

You can probably get close to 200 hp with a turbo and a decent tune on stock internals, but if your going for more than that, your gonna need to upgrade internals, new cam, valve train, etc. Dont forget a tune is everything when it comes to upgrading your motor.

500hp....... bwwahahahhahahahhah

200-250 hp will be beautiful...500 is a bit ridiculous unless its a drag car

Five hundred horsepower on a Z6 ... that's amaze-ah-zing.

jay_cue

Five hundred horsepower on a Z"OH"6 maybe

GarageAlchemist

read. first off you can stop this fantasy tuner Internet posting bullshit.. second off do you own a wrench? can you change your oil.. do you know how to read a spark plug..

start on those things first, then worry about breaking the jdm super cool i won the dyno benchmark post for the week.

With all the money your going to invest to get 500 hp out of a d, you would be better off getting a b series and boosting. It would be cheaper and easier build.

With all the money he's putting into it it'd probably be cheaper just to throw a 425 in a foxbody w/ a supercharger 'n pray it holds together at redline.

No, contrary to popular beliefs I really can't care less about my post count. I actually was starting to try to explain to him the basics of what he needed to get there...then I edited it and said nvm, etc. etc.

Ya why bother! Why should you help some one new. It's much cooler to ridicule him!

To the OP, you should read up a little before jumping into it. I would suggest you take a look at the Forced Induction forum we have here. I would also go to turbod16.com there you will get some help about turboing your D16.

chad174

If I am going from y7 to y8 and I already have the complete swap minus a harness what extra wiring is necessary?

j_dee1st

thanks for posting i guess im going for a b series... it would be much cheaper... thanks.... and for the others thanks for being know it alls..

turnsignalandy

for 500hp, It will be expensive on any honda. If you want that much power, go for a domestic v8 or maybe an old supra or somethin

Felliph3

haha lmao..,500 sohc? no way.get a B,much easier and cheaper.
