i have a 99 civic coupe non vtec, im doing a swap for either a d16y8 or d15b and boosting it at 10-12psi on a tdo4 turbowith stock internals. can these motors handle this on a good tune and which would be a better choice for my car.

 

d series motors will hold about 200whp max on a good tune...

it's about how much hp the motor can take.. not the boost.

if you're swapping for a d16 you might as well go LS, perfect for boosting.

 

spend your money on a swap.....

 

swaping is a possibliy but if i stay d-series whichi motor would be a better choice or is there not much difference

 

Just boost your y7.. Don't spend money on another d series swap.. I ran mine for almost 3 years daily driven 200whp and 200wtq give or take a few.... Run your stock motor till it blows.. A good tune and 10psi should be safe all day long... Keep the redline stock and you should be good to go.. If you're worried you can replace the headstuds to keep the head from lifting but other than that just run it I ran mine with a y8 manifold but the difference was negligible.. If I was to do it again I'd probably have just left the y7 manifold on it..

IF you need a little more out of it but a z6 tranny on it and you'll be good to go..

 

The info about D series only being good for 200whp on stock internals with a tune is false. A good friend of mine is running a D16(not sure which one) with stock internals on 13PSI making 300whp and has had the setup for 8 months.

 

you can very easily run over 200 whp on a single cam, i know someone currently running a d16y8 in an EM1 with -- CP Pistons -- Benson Sleeves -- CP Rods -- Zex 105300 Cam, Precision 1000cc Injectors -- Hondata s300 -- GT30r -- tuned at 30 psi, 463 Whp 352 Wtq and thats not nearly the highest i've seen.

They were talking single cams with stock internals, not built.

 

If you're on stock internals, the general rule of thumb is that if you want to be safe, keep it around the 220-240whp mark. That seems to be the safe range for most stock D's although some have made much more than that. Soon enough you'll learn that PSI doesn't really determine anything. If you want more complete answers, check out the Forced Induction forum.

 

either boost the y7 as is or just head swap it. itll yeild like numbers.

220-250ish whp is safe for these motors "depending" on the tune.

d-series max at 200hp huh... i must have gotten some kinda miracle motor lol...

 

me too!!

remember -Stock internals-

 

there is a guy on turbod16 that broke 700whp

That is not accurate to generalize and say that a stock D series motor can take 200whp max on a good tune. Its around the 220whp range that is sufficient...but there is never a MAX amount of power any motor can take. I can almost promise you that every stock turbo D owner has come across all different amounts of whp on good tunes.

The D16z6 is perfect for turbo applications as well...its weakest point is the toothpick rods, not the cylinder walls. But if you're not going for big numbers, I would say just stick w/ the z6 and you won't have to worry about changing much.

lol you guys must have bought a **** *** motor than, because my D15B on stock internals mated with my old t3t4 setup professionally tuned by Central Florida Turbo was boostin 12psi @ 232hp for about 5 months before i needed to replace an oil line, and installed a HKS GT wastegate 10lb spring and left the 12psi tuned chip in and it still ran great... u guys must be talkin bout y7's or something lol...

 

well i know for sure that the D16Z6 engines are way better. ifu do any more modification i'll go more that 200 whp..they call it the Beast.. i don;t know why but mine sounds like a k20.. iwill no go like one but u can put at agains any b series..
but for that u need a Z6 tranny,, ussually call S20..and you do not need nothing else.!!

 

spell/grammar check please

 

Quick question, can the Z6 tranny be mated with a D15B?

yeah any 88-00 d-series hydro tranny will work... the z6 is the 2nd best IMO... i fell in love with my D15B/LSD tranny

 

I have a tranny from an old F22 I would love to use but i do not think that is possible quite yet, or at least I havent found anything on it yet........ As far as The whole boost which motor, either would be great......

Uhh...If you would've quoted the rest of what I said, you would have understood

You said that 200whp is the MAX amount you can run on that motor...I said that 220whp is a sufficient amount of power to be pushed on that motor stock...however there is NO MAX like YOU said.

 

theres no way hes gonna make over 220whp with a td04 turbo its the same turbo i got and im running 10psi and prolly making 170 to the wheels if that and dont swap ur motor im running 14.5's( i need a new clutch or it would be better) with a basemap and my buddy has a JDM ITR in his del sol which is nearing 5 grand spent and hes running 14 flat(hes getting traction bars for wheel hop) and i spent like 1500 total on my car
