I got a y8.. and honestly its enough for me stock. that's not to say I wouldn't mind seeing its full potential.

take it for a ride.. and if you do a search, you will see there are many people who turbo these engines. they are solid!

edit: if you do swap - there is TONS of info in the FAQ

 

The stock y8 will handle around 200 hp stock if you turbo it

 

no swaps yet. Why swap when you can turbo your motor for cheap? research how to on H-T that way when **** starts to break (its inevitable) you can fix it yourself. Or if you want a lot of information of what NOT TO DO, homemadeturbo.com takes the cake. They are helpful dont get me wrong, but some of them dudes will turbo their car with no intercooler, and like piece of $hit charge pipes which end up exploding their motors. id say turbo your motor wtih a modest boost, have fun with it (since it is relatively cheap to do) then save up for a B series later on!

 

boost it more hp for same price of swap, if yur guna swap h22

 

theres no point gettin a b16 cuz yur only getting like 30 hp,thats not much

 

Boost it IMO. You can put together a fairly nice kit for relatively cheap, but make sure you dont skip out on engine management. If you want a no hassle kit, I would suggest the Edelbrock kit. It is more expensive, but it comes with EVERYTHING!!!! Just install, and your good to go!!!

 

ya definitely turbo it. One of my friends has the D16Y5 Built for boost. Not only are the D16YX solid engines, their internals are cheap so you can build them and boost even more without risking blowing anything. Forget swaps SOHC all the way! If you want to see what ur D-series is capable of turbod16.com has tons of Dyno's and parts lists from many people who have already successfully boosted their D-series.

 

good luck! once you go boost you wont want to go back!

 

i just bosted my Y8 and she made 251/205 on 9 psi !!

70k on motor. runs like a champ

 

Next time search first...there have been a couple threads about this exact topic this week and they all end the same way. Boost is the most economical dollar per hp you can get with a D

 

when it gets down to it you will spend quite a bit on a d, i spend alot. it just depens what your looking to get out of it.

The same D16YX engines that spin rod bearings left right and center?!

 

boost it get eagle rods vitara pistons and a built head and it will be a solid ride

 

You can boost the Y8 and have a very fun daily driver.

Then when you want a bit more and you save some money, you can get a B18B and most of the turbo components you already have will transfer over (you'll need a new manifold, though).

 

Boooooost, post up specs when you scrap together the kit!
