i have a D16y8 engine in my 96 civic and i wanna make it go up to ATLEAST 200 HP. if not then anything over 160.

BUT the thing is i dont wanna spend much dough.
and yes i know a swap.
but not till i get a better job.
i heard that new rods, bolts, pistons and a turbo will easily make hit 200hp
(https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/2373956)

but like always the turbo is till later.
how much HP will i get if i just change the rods, bolts and pistons?

 

good luck with a y8 and if you do it wont be very reliable
like you said "swap"

 

yea i know. i wanna get a H22 swap cuz thats 200(or 220)HP STOCK!
so yea.
but its also like $3500 just for the engine and tranny.
and with my lame *** job i dont think im getting it anytime soon

 

none, unless the rods, bolts and pistons raise your compression. a turbo alone will easily hit 200hp. and a tune.

 

3500 for a h22 ?? or for the swap also?

i've seen h22s for 2000-2200 with ecu how much are mounts and a swap job??

 

nitrous.

just the H22. and the entire wiring harness with ECU and everything is included.

but the swap job is seperate.

where have you seen those h22s?

 

actually my friend was hitting 230 on his civic non-vtec.

What he had: Bearings, Good head gasket and fuel pump ( walbro 255 ) All u need after u get that is a good tune and a nice turbo kit. That's it u'll be hitting 200hp like nothing man.

 

oh btw, he had an aftermarket clutch... and it was very reliable... it was his daily driver

 

lmao 200hp d16 with "low $$" good luck with that

 

200hp isnt too hard with a turbo y8 but you'll pry spend close to 2k piecing together a kit and getting it tuned.

 

just get a hf mani with a 14b or better a 16g and a good tune and 200 whp on a stock sohc is a cakewalk nothing expensive, the tune is the key. go to turbod16.com everything you will need to know is there. be fifteen to 2k at the most with the tune

 

I hope "low $$" is just a relative term. Don't cheap out on engine parts, especially turbo stuff. If you're on a budget now, you're gonna be way up **** creek when you blow your engine with a cheap turbo setup :/

 

LOL at rods and bolts making HP.
