i got a d16z6 vtec engine completely stock besides spark wires and headers(lol)

what is the best way to go with this engine to at least go to like 160hp and increase torque?

i know most will say boost but just seeing any way to increase up to that point?

cams, high compression pistons, head work, nice header and good tune.

Skunk 2 headers, intake, exhaust, cams, port and polish etc...

k and those will equal to like maybe a value of 400-500? i already have an intake and aftermarket headers(unknown brand)

Ruben19

no dude.
idf you really want to make power. you gonna have to spend alot of cash. specially N/A & single cam

96DelSol

^^ true.
The headers that will give you the most hp gains are priced at $500+
Cams and other goods are a dif story.

so .end of story,boost it.

160 hp is gonna cost u .

or sell u're d16z6 and get your savings and buy a b series.

You only have one header.


Your best option to get 160 HP is probably to go with a Jackson Racing supercharger. I see them used in the Honda-Tech marketplace for $1000-1500 constantly. Don't forget to get a tune (~$300-400).

EDIT: Oh, and some bigger injectors, probably 330cc if you only want to make 160 HP.

why always the ambiguous HP goals...? what about 60ft times or "how can i run the 1/4 in ___sec?"

anyways.. these are not unatainable numbers, but like what's been said already, it's very expensive! consider it took a team of highly specialized engineers at Honda to get 100 hp/L out of the first B16. and when they were given that goal they thought it was crazy!

so if you're hardcore N/A single cam, build away. if you want 160hp out of 1.6 liters... you'll be better off relying on the skills of those engineers and swaping in a B16.
