I got a D16y8 in my civic. im just wondering whether i could make more power outa a B or H series or swap or a turbo on my current engine.

 

Who much money do you have to drop?

 

probably not much
round 2-3.5k

 

H22+H2B=yum.

 

you looking for a more involved project, swap an h. Something fun boost'd d or b swap

 

Just turbo your y8, it will be fun and cheap and you'll still have money left over.

QFT

 

The turbo d will be faster than the b or h out of the box. If your d series has a lot of miles you might reconsider. Thats one reason I didn't boost my d series (that and my aem cam gear smoked my head), so then maybe you should go with the b series motor. You'll have more money later down the road to boost that and then you'll be fasterest.

fasterest?? haha

boost the D ..

 

Bump

i'm also considering this. i have a jdm d16a(usdmd16z6) with around 40k on it. when is "too much milage" considered for turbo.

if i swaped, i'm planning to go b18c. budget is 3.5k but saving money is always a good thing

I'll let you know when it's "too much mileage". I'm currently at 230k on my stock D16Z6. It's been turbo'd since last summer. I was running 7-10psi with zero problems, but recently I've been running 15psi on a TD04 14G (small) turbo.

I'm burning a good bit of oil, which I think is a combination of blown turbo and blown piston rings (rings are most likely gone because my VAC portion of my tune is too rich.)

 

don't turbo the d, it will be too fast for you

p.s. I turboe'd mine at 160k, and broke 1 axle and one tranny. engine still runs strong. running 200hp as well.

 

I have had both and honestly I perfer B series. I had a lot of fun with the turbo D16 but in the end it cost to much to get more out of it. After I sold it i got a B20 turbo, full swap with a T3/T4 was only about 2 grand. Never went vtec with, didn't need it.
