hey guy's wus up im new! but just got a few question's

1. i got a D16Y8 is there any way that i can gain HP by bolting on a D16Y7 bottom end as a "mini-me swap"? or would i end up w/the same HP as on the original y8 i have?if not than what could i do to gain HP on my motor beside's turbo at this time?

2. i have an automatic! yes i know..haha anyway can a automatic b-series tranny fit in a 1997 civic EX coupe? if so i was wondering if i could do a B20 swap in my civ. any answer's or link's would be a big help.

 

1) same

2) no

 

ok,just makin sure my buddy at Vallhalla racing in p-cola FL, put an automatic GSR in a civic hatch it was a 96-00 and all they had to do was do like 6-8INCH CUT out for the tranny and it fit fine but i didnt know if was the same for coupe's?? but do u think it's worth fixin up? i mean i like my motor but... i just need to figure out what i wanna do to it

 

your friends lied to you.

Find new friends.

 

lmao^

i also heard that a D trany would mount up to a b18a1 i think so i thought i would be the same guess not

 

u can belive me or not , but i saw it for myself cuz the motor was dohc VTEC and the code was B18C (GSR) then i walk around to the inside and it was AUTOMATIC tranny... but it dont really matter im just gonna build up my d-series and go from there.....but where did u hear about that d-series tranny bolting up to a b18a1?

 

but it was a B-series tranny, not a D.

 

10-4, yes it was an auto gsr tranny, but only thing im not sure of, is if it will fit the same in my coupe as it did in the hatch?? what do u think? cuz if i can put a b18-or b18c auto tranny im my EX w/a b20-or b20VTEC motor than thats what i wanna do, or maybe even just a b18 non-vtec i dont know.. cuz right now im having a hard time finding good parts for the Y8

Nothing like removing 6-8inches to become a tranny.

 

Swap in a different motor and learn to drive a 5 speed. You will never get anywhere with an automatic.

 

i kno but it's kinda hard when my wife dont know how to drive a 5speed, and it's a daily driver. lol.. it dont really matter f%^ it ya kno.. ill prolly just get the head setup frome GUDE and rebuild tha motor and build up the bottom end and etc... and eaither go w/JRSC or Turbo just worried about the tranny w/boost... but ive seen some boosted automatic;s beat up on some 5speed w/other mods and stuff.. n-e-way if i do what other's want me to then it wouldnt be my car
