I was just wondering if its worth it fixing up a 98 Civic DX engine

 

if you are going turbo it would be worth it but since you are in the all motor forum im sure you were talking about n/a, and i say its not worth it if you want a real fast car, but if you just want a little extra power go for it

 

if you are looking to stick all motor, your best bet is to ditch the Y7 head and intake manifold for a Y8 head/IM. search for bauleycivic's mini-me writeup.

 

turbo is worth it. we did a basic turbo kit on a Y7 motor a couple years ago and it did a decent 13.8 with 7psi in a civic coupe

 

Dollar per dollar, you will yeild larger power gains from a B-series. But if your ultimate goal isn't gobs of power and low ET's while staying naturally aspirrated, then an all motor SOHC is not a horrible choice by any means. I've driven some fun SOHC's that are not boosted.

However, if you are planning on making a big project with big power numbers in mind, boost, or B-series. Otherwise you will be pouring more money into a smaller engine with less potential.

we all know the B-series has more potential, but this guy wants to build up what he has.

Not everyone is shooting for 400+ HP. and not everyone has $5K to spend on the car.

I never said he shouldn't. I was simply informing him that he shouldn't expect large power gains.

As I said previously, a SOHC can be a very fun platform to build upon. Even better when theres some boost ran through it.

I don't think that there is anybody that makes a 98 DX Turbo.

 

you need to do some reading

Probably not

however there are plenty of people who have turbo'd 98 DX's

 

put a shaved VTEC head on there and drop a ZEX stage 2 cam in there. That should give you mid to high 14s with regular bolt ons.

 

I know Revhard makes a nice kit for the Y7.

yea i was wondering abiut that rev hard kit i dont get it all i would get is 20 hp and id have double my horsepower(120) in torque...its hard to belive i would only have 20 more ponies....and i doubt it means 120 added on to my horse power already can anyone clear this up..

 

I did a turbo setup on a stock d16y7 and ran 12.75@108 in a gutted crx.. The y7 motor is great for doing turbo setups..

 

What is a good turbo to put on a d16y7 motor?
