I've got a 2000 ex that I've just started to mod- intake, wheels, suspension. My buddy says I swap a b16 or b18, but what's the potential of a d16? I'm well aware that a b16/18 have more power, but it's hard for me to ditch a perfectly good motor. Can I get 175hp out my d16? Any suggestions?

 

depends on what you want to do with the motor. With N/A I've heard of 200whp. With turbo, I've seen 186WHP with stock internals. So, i believe that 200whp could be achieved with forged internals and a turbo. Youre goals are very realistic

 

You can reach that goal with your d16 but the b-series are a better platform and will have a greater potential(in most cases).

 

yeah, it worth it, if you dont mind not being the fastest. There are a **** load of parts for y8s. get a turbo

Yea 175 whp is very do-able on a d16y8 with stock internals. Many people have pulled higher numbers than that here too.

If you wanna know more about the D then heres some good links

Have you ever read the forced induction section? lol...

I made 230whp on stock internals and my car has been boosted for over a year. With a good tune you can put down 200whp on a d16 and have it be pretty reliable. You will smoke b-series swaps and it will cost you less money than a swap. Your not going to get 200whp out of your car N/A unless it's a full race car with high compression on race gas.

 

you should get the b16a2 mota swap

 

Your goals are very attainable with a stock block D16/Turbo, just dont skimp on fuel management/tuning.

this is exactly what i was gonna say, especially the bolded statement. I speak from experience because that is where my turbo project failed...

 

Much love for the D!

Deffinately doable, and much much cheaper if 175hp is your goal.

Check my sig for another gread D series resource.

 

definately go with turbo D, much more fun and much more power than any b-series swap, like what has been said tuning is KEY.

Don't waste your time or money on a swap when you have a perfectly good SOHC VTEC...

I guess not...

 

Turbo......anymore brain busters?

 

Turbo dat d series girl. For the price of a swap you could have forged internals. Thats how i look at it.
