nice!

 

OP, a few suggestions/criticism:

Get a better turbo mani, it looks like you are cheaping out on the critical parts of a turbo setup. $200 turbo mani will more than likely not last long, esp for the goals you are trying to achieve.

Ditch the cx racing radiator, at 400-500 whp, you will need a good radiator such as a C&R, Koyo, Fluidyne, etc, I have one of these radiators and it's beginning to pumpkin @ 250whp b16 because of the heat.

Also running 400-500 whp on stock sleeves is DEF pushing it on a D series. I would ditch the block guard and just sleeve it to be on the safe side.

Also a block guard will not help you much if you run eagle/vitara setup as the blockguard protects the top of the sleeve, but running the eagle rods, it makes it so the pistons don't even reach the top of the cylinder where the blockguard protects. This is why the Vitara pistons make such low compression because the piston does not come all the way to the top of the cylinder wall.

66mm throttle body(i would like individuals if you know of any) I am not 100% sure what you mean by this, but as I take it, do you mean you want ITB's? If so, it is not possible on a boosted setup. Well let me rephrase that, it's do-able but I think it would just complicate things.

Use an OEM headgasket, for some reason people have issues with cometics, which I don't know if it is installer error. So something to think about.

Any particular reason why you plan on running AEM EMS? eCtune or Hondata will do just fine for what you need.

With the 750cc injectors, you will get between 450-475whp roughly, you may want to think about doing 1000's just to give you some breathing room. You don't want to be running your injectors at 100% duty cycle all the time.

The 4" downpipe and 3" intercooler might be to much for the small space you have to work with, unless you have a very good fabrication that can squeeze it all in there for you.

As for the 38mm wastegate you might want to start off with a 44mm as the 44mm will be able to control that much pressure much better than a 38mm as you might get bad boost creep because the 38mm might be a little small.

I think that's about it. Don't take this as hate, just constructive criticism.

Good luck with your build!

 

I understand your critasizm, its constructive and I thank you. At this time my cash flow exceeds my knowledge and I am here to learn all I can so I buy the right parts the first time. The AEM EMS looked like the right choice from what I have read and is a direct plug in to the D16a6 harness. If I went with Hondata would'nt I have to upgrade to OBD1 harness? More constructive critisizm is welcome members.....

 

Going to OBD1 would open up the tuning options. You'd get a much better tune out of OBD1 than OBD0. Most shops don't even touch OBD0 anymore. But as far as having to change it i'm not sure.

 

Could some1 tell me what the difference is between obd0 and obd1 harness? I know that if i change to obd1 i would have to get the p28 ecu and a new harness but idk if I need to change anything on the engine like new connections and sensors.

 

Dizzy plug harness and ECU conv harness

 

Are Darton MID Sleeves good sleeves? and since the vitara/eagle setup makes the pistons not reach the top of the sleeves, what if I i put the block guard 1/4" or so down in the block?

 

it's still not going to cut it. 400-500whp will crack/destroy the stock sleeves. you absolutely will want to sleeve this block if you're dead set on this high of hp numbers.

 

I dont really know of any sleeves, could some1 recommend me some for the hp numbers i want.

 

Darton MID sleeves are real good sleeves for that HP. It'll handle that and more. We use the MIDs for engines we've build making over 1000hp in B-series.
Most a customer has put on a D-series is about low 600s( I believe highest ever made is 750hp in a D ever)

 

ok kool thx. 1000hp b-series must of been crazy lol. i would really like to see that is there a link you can give me...

 

hey i have a ?... I been reading ppl with 350+whp d16's and there running dual inline walbro 255lph fuel pumps...do i need to run dual pumps? since im lookin for 400-500whp? or will 1 be fine?

 

hey i ran across this manifold and it looks really nice, let me no what ya'll think... I think this will be a good choice over the $200 mani : )

heres some obx itbs for the d16, i was thinking about building a custom IM around these so i could turbo it...what do you think...i havent found ne1 who bought these yet and i would like some feedback on them...

http://www.amazon.com/OBX-Individual.../dp/B002H67NL4

and i also found some kinsler itbs but they are pretty exp., but if the obx's are **** than i'll have to go with these if i use itbs...

another thing.... I just remembered I need some really good CV transaxles and I cant seem to find ne over 475hp rating, will tht be good enough? its pretty close but idk, if I make 500whp or alil more will they still hold up?....plz post a link, I really appreciate it

here are the level 2.9 475hp rated axles:

ITBs are overrated. Get that outta your head already. A basic manifold will work in 99.9999% of setups out there just fine.

 

This is a !MUST KNOW! for me and my build.....since im getting peak and hold fuel injectors, will the AEM EMS run them? cuz i think the stock injectors are saturated....and if it wont run them, i ran across this aem PnH driver module...i need to know if i need this module or not....thx for your help

Looks like a great list.

Why not move to a 76mm piston?

 

I see a lot of money going into most of this parts list.
I'm wondering why not just spend a little more and get a set of slugs instead of the Vitara's?

 

could someone please explain the dry no flange and the dry flange from darton and also i cant seem to find a price for the d16?

 

We are an authorized Darton sleeve retailer if you need the sleeves.

As far as the no flange. Its a replacement type sleeve. It installs a new iron ductile sleeve but it doesnt have the thick Flange at the top.

The flange style is like this:
It just has a thicker area on the top part of the sleeve. There are different flange thickness so the Darton may not necessarily look like this.


The dry no flange will look almost like a regular OEM block. The only difference is that it'll have a new sleeve lining.

This is the Darton Modular Integrated Deck(MID)

 

with the mid will i get hot spots or steam issue also exospeedamrcx whats the price for the mid's

 

acually i was going to go with 76mm for the sleeves/pistons, then when i rebuild it again i'll go to 77 or 78mm. whats the biggest bore i can go with mid sleeves? and the pistons im thinking of going with JE but ive seen a few 500hp d16's with vitaras and they worked fine...maz69, i found 75 to 78mm darton mid's for $550...

 

There are no cooling issues with the MID. We use them for daily and race setups all the time.
The MID for D16 is good for 78mm bore.
The Darton MID kits are about $525.00 and the install is about $780.00
