i got a sohc and was wondering if i should go all motor or not?
i would also like to know what the best setup is for the d16y8? anyone got any advice?

 

No. You're gonna waste your money. Save it for a Turbo, or a B-Series.

 

i really want to go all motor im not planning to run fast times really i just want 14's, the reason i wanna go all motor is i got a knock-like rattle in my motor, i think i gotta rebuild it anyways

Rod bearing?

If you want to go all motor, while still be daily driven... run about 12:0 compression, get headwork, and run wild cams. Check out http://www.exospeed.com, they have nice D series stuff.

 

or regrind from web for super cheap and save some money for othershit like a better valvetrain. I'm doing a NA setup on my d15b in my hatch. Don't worry about people telling you to not waste your money. I don't care that I don't have the fastest car on the road or the fastest sohc. I just do it for the love of doing something different and it's a challenge. Also do what fits your budget.

 

Go turbo you will have way more fun. go junkyard kit or piece together something if you have the money. OR if you need street legal just grab a greddy kit. BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK! Good luck with whatever you decide

 

People don't value good gearing when it comes to acceleration.

Throw in a 4.7 or 4.9 FD and see how you like it.

 

i vouch for the gearing.. good point to consider.

 

Do you want to go fast? If so, sohc all motor is not for you...

 

whats the most hp you can get out of an all motor sohc?

 

y8 all motor can get in the 14s if built right. If that is all you are after just do the all motor. OR becuase you have to rebuild it anyway, you can make it handle boost. Then turbo it later.

but if u wnat to build ur sohc motor start with soe pm7 (zc) pistons with rod bolts and full bearing kit then do some head work


run pm7 pistons
arp rod bolts
acl bearings
light fly wheel
ild pnp head
a stage 3 crower cam
skunk 2 intake manifold
270 cc injectors ( stock type r)
a decent fpr
and u'll run real good
with about 12.4 compresion

 

I messed with NA D16y8 for a couple of years. I was just about to do a serious NA build, but finally decided to put together a junkyard turbo for it. Best decision I ever made.

IMO a lot of things about the D16 make it a great candidate for turbo. First and foremost, it's *cheap*. Blow a motor and you're looking at maybe $400 to replace if you look around, so reliability isn't as much of a "nail biter" as it is with a more expensive B series motor. Going turbo turned out to be a really fun and satisfying project. Took me about 2 months (and about $800) to complete, and resulted in 2 solid years and 35000 miles of trouble free performance. Then my car was stolen... But even from my cheap little setup, performance blew away the majority of NA B series motors for a tiny fraction of the cost.

 

what was your n/a setup?

 

Nothing much really. Started with a d16y7. Did a head/tranny/ecu swap from a y8. It helped, but I was less than impressed. The motor needed at least 50 more whp to even be considered kinda "sporty" IMO. Maybe that can be attained through an NA build, but it wouldn't be much fun on the street, and it would be pricey (at least the research i did was). I got nearly 100 more whp with the turbo, and I drove the car to work every day. Then again, my goal was performance on a tight budget. Kudos to anyone who wants to build a NA d16 for something different...

 

i have a D16y8 right now, its pulls pretty hard. You should build an all motor single cam if you wanna find out how much power you can get out of it. If you just want power and a fast car, get a B-series or H22

 

im building my y8, have p29 pistons, and intake exhaust, header and testpipe. what cams are you using?

my lil bro was hitting 14.7s with a stock y8 and i/h/e. so i u want to run 14s there ya go. if u wanna go a lil faster, get a zex 59300 cam and cam gear ane ull have a decent setup.

 

i was running mid 15's with i/h/e. what was that motor in? mines in a coupe.

 

bump

 

i have a b16a in my crx and a d16z6 12.1:1 cr in my civic and my civic is faster than my crx. no headwork on the civic but i have a fully build head that im waiting for my bottom end to get put together. I say sohc ownz.

 

I have A 88 Dual Point that i toke out of my car and put in my ls motor what do u suggest i should do with that sigle cam. build it up for racing or sell it or keep it just in case i blow my ls ?

Another thing to remember here is weight. The fact of the matter is that you just won't make alot of power with an allmotor D. In fact, you won't do much (if any) better than a bone-stock B-series VTEC motor as far as power. So if you have this thing in a heavy car (like an actual 1996-2000 Civic EX), you're going to have a REALLY, REALLY hard time running even high 14s/low 15s. The only 13 second allmotor SOHC cars I have every heard of are 1988-1991 CRXs and Civics as well as the lighter 1992-1995 counterparts - and gutted to the bone with slicks at that.
