d16y8 block, z6 forged srp pistons, h beam rods
-a6 head gasket (i believe this makes 9.03:1 cr)
-z6 head- crower springs and retainers
-shimmed PORTED oil pump
-y8 crank.... i know i know should be z6. I know lots of people with good hp on y8 cranks

t3t4, hks bov, tial 38mm gate, ram horn

450 cc dsm injectors/ 255 walbro pump

p28(will be chipped and tuned)

this is my first turbo build and im looking for some advice, of if i sound like i know what im talking about at all.

 

Well, what kinda of power are you trying to make?

 

using the setup on my stock d16y8 now, and hoping to make 200+ on like 8-10 pounds while builing my new motor with stated specs above, hoping for 300+ on like 15-18 pounds... what do you think

 

How many different areas do you need to post this? Once in forced induction isn't enough? Come on...


You need to ditch the Y8 crank...

 

I wasnt sure where it would get more responses, you have too much time on your hands to notice that lol, relax.

 

Hmmmm, ever considered the vitara build? my buddy did a similar build w/ the vitara/eagle combo and made 320whp on 22psi with a 54 trim t3/t4.

 

i did consider the vitara build, its ALOT cheaper then forged, but forged is better for a daily driver application and long term use.... or so i read. Vitara is cast pistons and arent as durable as forged.

 

i understand they are cast, but the fact they arent "as reliable" is not true. I have seen many vitara setups making 400whp as daily drivers and last years, seriously. Its your money though, im just saying my opinion. speedfactory here in WA had a vitara build hatch making 500whp on stock sleeves and they raced it 2 years before anything happened. probably 200+ passes at the track.

 

From this response, I can conclude you don't "understand" much about Vitara setups. For your goals, it would work JUST fine. I loved mine minus the fact that it was difficult to pass emissions in California with due to low compression. Other then that, I would probably still have it...


And no, I don't have "too much time on my hands".. I spent all of about maybe 5 mins on Honda-tech yesterday.

 

bump nice build

 

I would not have done this.

 

So im being told by EVERYONE. Are y8 cranks THAT bad!!??

 

Y cranks in general. One oil galley per journal.

 

nice franskenstain, my opinion non-vtec engine are bettler for turbo but it sound like you know what you are doing so GOOD LUCK men and nice work that one that you did

 

I love H-T for this. URGH

 

x2 yea, really. People are dumb.

 

Lol. OH FOE SHIZZLES! MY LS-T IS HELLER FASTER THAN MY LSV-T BUILD.


TO OP: May I ask what chassis is this one going into?

 

96 civic coupe

 

Nice. Any pics of the turbo and block by any chance?

 

block is just a bare y8 block at this point. Still needs to be bored over. i can post a pic of turbo maybe tomorrow
