LET ME KNOW...

THANKSSS

Unseen Racer

just put vitara pistons, eagle rods, CTR cams, adjustable cam gears and boost it.

you will spank a nice amount of cars with that build.
unless they are like a b series turboed.
but most are not

EDIT: i forgot to say GET IT TUNED so you can really spank most cars

batallic

what can u do with it? boost it you'll be beating most cars, if done properly

SOHC_4dr

you can do anything you want to it. so some searching look over all your options. boosting is the most popular way. like they said, tune it well no matter what path you go with, NA or boost

he one need ONE cam and ONE cam gear, its a sohc lol

Unseen Racer

lol yea. sorry. i tend to use plural alot. i do not know why

SOHC_4dr

oh and besides the plural, he cant use CTR cams lol

y2kferari

^^^ thats what I was about to say.

mique-Use the search tool man. There are like ideas out of this world on here. Ls swpas, GSr swaps, turboed, supercharged, NA. just read up, pick what sounds like would best suit you. GL

Unseen Racer

i thought SOHCs can use A CTR cam???

SOHC_4dr

how? the ctr cam is a DOHC and the single cam has both intake and exhaust lobes. the ctr has a cam for the intake and a cam for the exhaust. it isnt possible to use either on a sohc.

Hey thnks for all the comments...
faaaast anwers !!

i love turbos... so i was thinking if i just need boosted but now i know what else do i need to put on my engine before turbo.. !!

SOHC_4dr

d16y8s are usually used for all motor. d16z6 are for boost !! but obviously still can be done.

my god Unseen Racer you sound like a ricer just throwing out stuff that wont even work for this guy. You seemed really confident in your post and your whole post got taken apart. ahhaha

for the OP. I think if you have the option to go boost do it. You wont regret it. Even if its on stock internals it will be so much more fun at 7psi than stock. Or if you have the cash to get some work done to boost higher that would also be good. new pistons and rods ,head gasket and head steads. You can squeeze some decent power out of that

Unseen Racer

you CAN use a turbo on a y8 with it being stock. but you can only run about 10psi TOPS!
no more than that. but 5-7psi should do it

ok just to clarify you wont be putting ctr cams in a d16 and you will only need 1 cam gear.

the vitara build has become popular and yeilds fairly good results. my buddy has a d16y8 with the vitara build running 478whp and 10.3 in the 1/4 mile.

what is your budget and goals for the car?

Unseen Racer

about the cams, yes i found that out today. live and learn...

but DAMN!!!! 478whp on a y8!??!?!?!
NEVER heard of that.

93egSLEEPER

lol srry on the cams didnt realize it had been covered.

anyways about that d16y8 vitara setup... checkout speedfactoryracing.net

my buddy own it... they have some sick ****.

Unseen Racer

its cool. ive been getting **** about it for a while. i THOUGHT ctr was the BRAND and that they make different cams. kinda like skunk2 cams. lol yea. well now i know.

and dude!!!!!! thats F-ing SICK!!!!
wish my ride can be that bad azz!!

93egSLEEPER

someday my friend... someday. thats what i tell myself as inspriation

Unseen Racer

lol. all in good time. patience is a virtue. beggers cant be choosers. lol. i tell myself all that and more.

psi doesnt kill engines HP does, ppl run 16 psi with a small *** turbo

DaveSi677

yes but too much psi gives you too much power with out your engine being properly setup!

OP you should also look into getting a good clutch maybe a stage 2 or 3 depending on the power you are looking to put down... Don't get a lighter flywheel cause you don't want to loose inertia with a turbo car! I would also look at get an lsd... and the obvious some sticky tires! I figured if you are going to build it you should look at all aspect and not just the engine... everything has to work together to give you the maximum amount of power!
