I'm building my block up to hold some nice boost this coming up winter. So far I've located a cam shaft from exospeed.com, and some SRP pistons. Still looking for everything else though.

What parts did you guys use, and from where did you buy this stuff at?

 

All stock baby!

But IF if build a D16 rather than a B, I would use the stock Y8 cam, probably Eagle or maybe the probe rods, and I'm not sure on pistons yet, but Ross seem to be a good choice from what I have seen.

 

I have a D16A1 (DOHC D series engine from the 86-89 USDM Integra):

Endyn pistons
Eagle rods
ACL Engine bearings

Sonny

 

Anyone else with built D's?

 

JE custom 77mm 9.0:1 pistons
Eagle H-beam rods
ARP hardware
77mm bored D16Z6 w/ GE sleeves

Block is good for around 600whp+

 

Getting there...
My ZC is in the build up stage.

Some major parts:

Crower Rods
Endyn 77mm Pistons in 8.5:1CR (moly/gold coated by swain)
ACL berrings (moly coated by swain)
GE sleeved and O ringed block
Head shaved 0.04" resulting in a 9.5:1CR
SCE copper head gasket

I will be done with the motor next spring.

 

I used crower rods,
custom JE pistons (20 over)
nuformz block guard (tapped in before boring the cylinders)
PP head, SS valves

springs, retainers, cam soon to come............

 

How much do you boost?
What turbo are you using?

any #'s?

 

 

a6 block, z6 head
Blockguard
JE Pistons (.020, 9.x:1)
LS rods

Not boosted yet, Only 300 miles on it.

When boosted, I like to put 200hp to the wheels.

Anybody wanna estimate 10psi intercooled on the above motor's HP?

 

Interesting, I hadn't heard that the Y8 cam was the way to go. Is there a reason why?

I had a block built with sleeves, 79mm pistons, eagle rods, etc, etc. Unfortunately it was from JG. Still trying to get my money back. Ever wander why they don't except credit cards? All they sell is crap!!!!

 

Who sleeved the block? What do you have in that motor?

 

GE (Golden Eagle) sleeves. What do you mean what do I have in it? I listed the internals there..

 

Just wondering how much boost you guys are running with those built blocks.
8lbs in the day/10 at night on completely stock internals here

 

GTCali - depends on your entire turbo/motor setup and what your final comp is, but 10 PSI on a T3/4 will put you over 210 once tuned typically.

ladiesman- stock Y8 cam because all the aftermarket cams I have seen dyno'd are so close, lose power, or are such a compromise that it's not worth 500+ dollars for a new cam. I have however seen good results from a couple of regrind places, I want to say JG produced good results (yipes).

VTC - I think he was asking what you have in that motor in terms of dollars.

inspyral - I run 9 PSI right now on my stock, getting ready to up it to 10 and gradually more if I build a D in the future I will be looking to run lots more, at least double that

 

I'm starting to kick around the idea of building a D for high boost, since D blocks are so damn cheap...

 

Hatchblack - Devildog? 9.2:1 Compression, with a T-3 I'm hoping that'll make a little over 200whp.

VTC - didn't you make more that 200whp on a greddy kit with 10 or 12 psi?

 

vtc made 217hp @ 10 psi i think

 

And the greddy turbo is really small. If that's the case, I looking for 225 at the wheels w/ at T-3....Hopefully.

 

Sorry, I meant $ wise.

I actually have a JG regrind 65VT35. I thought it felt stronger than stock although I never dynoed it. Should I get a Y8 cam or keep the JG?
