my goal is 180-200 whp...i have a d16y8 engine...im planning on doing a minor tune up, did spark plugs and wires other week, and distributor, belt, fuel filter and fuel pump sometime next week...anything im missing?? is it ok to go for some kragen distributers, belts, fuel filters and fuel pumps?? i allready put ngk platinum plugs and wires

 

I'm not completely understanding your question. Are you asking what do you need to achieve 200hp FI? How many miles are on the motor. I hope your not talking about replacing the distributor itself if it's not bad. Maybe cap and rotor button. Why are you replacing the fuel pump unless your upgrading it for FI.

 

i have around 130,xxx miles on the engine...i wanna make sure everything will be running properly before i throw on the turbo...i guess my question should be, what would i need to replace on my 130,xxx mile engine before i put on my turbo and aim for 180-200 whp goal??

 

One word....HEADSTUDS!!!

 

i hear headstuds all the time, does juss headstuds make much of a difference?? and bump to my above question still

 

For that HP goal, head studs are not a must but are a nice upgrade. I would look into a Walbro 255L pump and new fuel filter, at least 330-550cc injectors and the correct range plugs. Definitely look into replacing your water and oil pump and maybe a new timing belt. If your dizzy isn't bad, leave the stock one in place as they usually outperform aftermarket brands. Cap and rotor are a good idea as well as your plug wires. Do a compression and leak-down test to determine the health of the engine and look into a good management system as well as a reputable tuner that can give you a conservative tune if it's your DD. Good luck!

First off, you read it and not heard it

Second, are you implying that if he doesn't get head studs the motor will not reach his 180-200HP goal?

 

i'd say new bearings and rod bolts

 

y8s are known to spin bearings

do yourself a favor and install a shimmed and ported oil pump

 

i had no problems with the y8

 

and im still stock bore
