i took out my y8 out of my coupe a few weeks ago.
there's so much i want to do, but there are questions i'm anxious to b answered..
first... if i have the head shaved over 40, can i use p29 stock pistons?
do i use the just the piston or the whole thing (con rods, etc.)
second... can i buy an aftermarket b-series throttle body to use with my y8 manifold?
can i use b-series or k-series fuel injectors? if so can i use with a stock fuel rail.


i'm also thinking about buying a d15 block and using a y8 or z6 head.
idk wut parts i can or can't use.... on the other hand parts within same series are interchangeable.......right??????
my object is to rebuild my engine OEM but be a little better..
lol anything will help and i'm open for ideas.

thnx guys

 

yes u can use b series tb in ur intake manifold
yes u can use stock pistons
u cant use kseries injectors ? why for what u can use besiries but migth run rich .... i think
yes u can use y8 head y whoul u wanna take a perfect block n mess it up

 

thnx bud. now wut i wanna know is.........
the OEM b-series or h-series throttle bodies have a bigger opening??
wut other h or b-series parts can i use on this build?
ahh you're right about the mini me conversion. scratch that.
i'm also taking into consideration a k-swap.
when dealing with a k-swap, do u have to cut and rewire the harness?

 

with dealing with k series swap you need LOTS OF MONEY AND TIME as in 3+ months to have everything correclty done, and i believe some wires need to be extended and such

try that.. tells you what youll get with each part.

 

thnx.. but how do i use it..?? hmmm

 

just select the parts you want on the d16 block and it will tell you if it will work and what compression you will get

 

cool cool.. the head milling section is for how much i will shave the head correct?

 

yes.. cause it will raise your compression a little

 

ahhhh. ok.. i'm kinda new to the whole compression/displacement.. now i'm starting to get into it. do u konw any place where i can get engine rebuild kits for a good price? or is it better off buying the things seperately?? (main bearings, rod bearings, seals, etc.)??

 

Why would you want to use b series iniectors? Whats wrong with the y8 injectors? You know they're both 240cc's right?

Yes you can use b series tb.

If your asking if wires need to be extended for a k series swap; how in the HELL are you "considering" a k series swap? ARE YOU SERIOUS?????

Yeah im considering doing open heart surgery on someone. Do you know if I will need a bandaid?

 

although i agree with you.. take it down a notch haha be easy.. but you're completely right..

 

If you’re really planning on building this y8 I would start on the bottom end, these motors are notorious for spun rod bearings. That was just one of the lessons I had to learn the hard way.

 

I dont think they sell "rebuild kits" that will beef up your engine. Just buy separate quality parts ex: Golden Eagle, Wiseco, and ARP bolts. If you never did an engine build you would probably be better of buying the parts and taking it to a real mechanic or machine shop.

 

Y are u getting so sensitive??????? LMAO
i didn't know about the injectors... thats y i was askin which are better.
thnx guys,to the wise and the smart-asses.. lol
well my neighbor is a certified technician so i'll b having help from him

 

My bad dude, its just that sometimes i get frustrated with seeing an interesting topic title that i have experience in, and might be able to help with; just to find questions that can be answered by google in a few seconds.

But yeah, some good advice is to first research your question. Once you have a basic outline of what you want and still need further opinions/answers make a new thread.

Thats what I do. Search search search. Then start a thread. Or i'll ask a question AND research it.
