I have had my car together since March and I figured I should take it to the track now (end of october ) It was pretty cold and I was in street trim. This was my first run down the track EVER.

My setup:

The Motor
d16y7 with 110k miles. <u>Stock motor</u>.
d16z6 intake manifold.
z6/y8 transmisson.
exedy stage 1 clutch.

The Turbo Kit
T3 Super 60.
RC 450cc injectors.
Homemade turbo manifold, external Tial wastegate.
chipped obd1 ecu tuned with CromePRO for 11psi.


I weighed in at 2400 with me in the car.
I was on my street tires (dunlop sp9000's) and I didn't drop the tire pressure.
My twostep was at 3800.
FIRST RUN (my third run was the same EXACT #'s)
R/T .497
60' 2.203
330 6.119
1/8 9.124
MPH 83.20
1000 11.697
1/4 13.87
MPH 103.09

I was pretty suprised when I got my timeslip. For my first time I didn't think I did too bad. I think I could have set my two-step higher and got a better 60 foot. Just thought I'd share.

Sounds good to me! Time to build the motor and turn up the boost.

Great time, and a decent 60' too.

 

Do you guys think I could pull more out of it? When I shifted into second I had nothing but spin. It was hard to get second to grab. I think I could knock a few tenths off as well. I think the cold weather was to blame as well for the lack of traction.


About building the motor:
I really want to do the Vitara piston setup. Looks like a really good way to make power.

Lower the tire pressure/dr's/slicks, and run in 70 degree weather and you'll be fine.

What do you mean they look like a good way to make power? Are they higher c/r? I hope not if you are going to boost higher.

ya wow 11 pounds but nice man i am doing this soon

I missed that you are running 11 pounds . I'm glad I swapped. Can't wait for the next one .

-Shane

 

I'd build a replcement bottom end right now before this one gives.

The y7's don't do too badly with boost. It's the pesky y8's that suck ***. But this still wouldn't be a bad idea.

-Shane

 

Awesome times, but I second (third? fourth?) the notion that you'll be wanting a new bottom end before too long if you continue to make passes like that. Nicely done .

No, they lower the compression ratio to about 8.5:1 if I'm not mistaken. They are forged too (I think). I plan on building a block over the winter.

11 pounds tuned isn't bad. Why are you glad your swapped? What times did you run in your car?

I have no worries with the block as of right now. The only reason I would build a block is to make more power. If I turned the boost up more I would be more worried, but at 11-12 pounds I feel safe at right now.

 

Great times! I'm in the process of turboing my 99 hatch with a y7/y8 mini me, but with a smaller turbo setup than your 60 trim.

 

Lookin' good!! Now build it and up the boost!!

He wasn't calling you out man. Calm down.

The only reason I'm asking is because I was thinking of selling the turbo kit/motor for a swap. Someone has a LS they would be interested in trading straight up. I was debating between a LS/B16 in my hatch too.

 

11 lbs in a stock sohc!!! Won't be long before you blow the motor. But hey have fun blow the motor then rebuild.

Y8 manifold, gsr throttle body, and 2.5-3 inch exhaust will really do wonders. I havent taken mine to a darp strip but I should some day. Anyways after this summer I got the civic running scary fast.

Yeah, the stock TB is killing me.
I know the z6 intake manifold is a lot better than my stock y7 one. Got the z6 for 5 bucks
I'm running a 2.5 inch downpipe/exhaust too. Should have included that before

 

11 psi on stock internals nice man

Im going to get tuned with teh same setup as you except Y8 manifold in abotu a week 60 trim T/3 I have a 10 psi spring tho and everyone tells me the Y7 wont take it for long

guess we'll see

 

I have been on 10-11 psi for almost 2 months now. I religously beat the **** out of my car all day. I get great gas mileage and I haven't had anything break.

Before it was tuned, I ran a FMU/Missing link for 7 months and also beat the **** out of my car. (march-september) and haven't had anything go wrong. As of right now, I feel that this motor/turbo setup is unbreakable.

Let me know how you make out Civic Racer. I was thinking about getting a y8 head.

 

times are decent man. very good for 1st time at the track ever. did u go to etown??


if you wanna change the setup, get a different manifold, swap in the ls and bolt back up the turbo kit.
