I know this has been coverd before and asked before but I want to see what you guys and girls think I have a jdm d15b in my eg sedan know and I also have a jdm b16a with a jdm b16 lsd trans and all the stuff to put it in my sedan but I have been thinking of getting rid of the b16 and trans and all the other things I have for a d16z6 or a d16y8 and a turbo kit for the single slammers and turboing the the d15b and building the other motor for high boost I want atleast 250-300 whp more on the 250 side just so the car is fun to drive and also fun at the track if i put the b16 in i wont be able to make power for a while dont get me wrong I love the b series motors I just think its cool to have a turbo single slammer so I want to know whay you guys and girls think thanks in advance

 

D16y8 boosted all the way!!
Power to the Single Slammers!!!

 

Thats what I am thinking to still not sure

 

Just to throw in my .02 expect to shell out some decent cash if you want a turbo setup that is done right. I went into a single cam boost setup thinking it would be a cheap route and it was far from it. Please don't waste your time and use ebay parts. get a good reliable setup with everything you need fuel management wise if you decide to boost. and spend some cash on a GOOD tune as well.. GL in whatever you decide.

 

i say d16y8 all the way i wouldnt really underestimate a single slammer

 

honestly, anything with time, money, and effort with proper tuning will be effective on HP output and at the track.

 

True I plan on taking my time with which ever way I go its going to turn into a long build either way dont want it to be but I want it done right and the first time thanks for input

 

if you can deal with all the turbo stuff- go for it, otherwise, B16 will still be somewhat quick

 

TRUE

 

me either i like the idea of a single slammer with some power

 

thats true but wouldnt a turbo d16 be faster

 

Thank you for the input so far is there anymore

just boost your d15

 

turbo d16 is fastest of the 3.
I got one and its pretty quick. They are cheap to build too.

so i know that this might be a lil bit hijacking but i am considering the same thing. i can get my hands on a pretty cheap b16. what i am wondering is if some of my parts are compatable, and if going b16 is a better choice or if i should just stay with what i got. but this is what i am using now...

Swap the b16 and sell the d15. B16 has more power+LSD+short gearing.

 

so i should just swap in the engine and get different mani's and i should be able to run the same setup....or would i even need to swap anything...

 

dont swap a turbo D16 or D15 for a B16. its a mistake. B16's are worthless torqueless swaps. Your D16 can have short gears with the right transmission and can have LSD with a LSD from OBX. The Turbo will make alot more power than a B16 has and will do so for alot less money. Don't put a B16 in your car just because some kid on the internet told you so.

 

see i just tried to build up my stock engine...am i on the right track...im trying to learn more about the whole turbo and build process...i currently work in a restoration/custom shop..(hence the name)..so honda's are fairly new to me...i used to be all about american muscle, until a guy blew my 454 nova with a honda crx...he is a good buddy of mine and so we have started this build on an ek...so that is what i am running right now...i would love suggestions for parts that i should put on, or swap for my existing parts...

 

i think you've got it figured out yourself there, chief. Go with what you think is going to be fun, then come back and show us what you did after all is said and done!

 

lol. do a vitara setup with forged rods. Or if you have more money do CP or Wiseco Forged pistons. Put a Z6 head on it if you can as its better for boost since it has a taller combustion chamber it is less likely to cause detonation. If you really got alot of money you could sleeve the block so that you could hold insane amounts of power. But if your just looking for 400WHP or less you can keep the sleeves stock. Get the crank micropolished and the rotating assembly balanced, go with w/e bearings you want although Clevite is cheap and good. If you can get a Z6 crank as its better than a Y7 crank as it has 2 oiling ports per rod bearing instead of 1. if not its fine. You dont really have to do any of this stuff other than the forged rods and lower compression pistons. You can just do SCAT or Eagle Rods with Vitara pistons if you want to keep it simple and cheap.

 

thanks man thats exactly what i am looking for....as in advice...haha

 

it all really comes down to money and the plans for the car. if you just wana get in the car and drive it wo having to worry bout the engine or constantly monitoring the engine, id say the b16. higher reving, simple drop in, gas it up and go.

now if you want a street demon and track friendly car, sohc-t over the b16. but itll cost alot more. require alot more monitoring. and expect to have problems.

personally id either build the d15 or z6 engine. stock for stock, same car, my buddy's d15 was a tad bit faster then my z6. maybe a car length over a 0-100 pull. other factors were the cause though. and the z6 over the y8 b/c its already obd1. tuning will be easier and dnt gotta convert 1-2. the d15 trans is an lsd type trans so def use that.
