Hey there. I'm from minnesota. I own a 97 civic coupe dx. With a D16Y7 any ideas on how to do a good mild n/a bulit on it?

 

Welcome!

Don't bother, not worth the trouble or money. Seriously.

Swap or turbo.

I really like the Y7 the way it is. Yes it is slow, but it is very fuel efficient. I drive a lot on the highway and I frequently get 40-45 mpg during the warmer months.

Because you are a new member, I edited the title for you this time.

 

It's really not worth building a Y7, but if you were going to do it PM7/P29 ZC pistons, Y8 intake manifold and a Z6/Y8 exhaust manifold or aftermarket header and a good tune will probably give you the best bang for your buck.

 

I do have a full head off a D16Z6 would it be worth puttin on the Y7?

 

There's a guy here in minnesota the rebuilt his D16Z6 with a .020 bore and with only the a intake and exaust put down 177.7 to the wheels.

 

Bullshit.

 

z6 IM, egay headers, mill head and a cam hat doesn't suck.

 

I would have to agree. The Y7 is the best for fuel efficiency.

There's a link to the thread about the 177.7 D-series. For the non believers. But I am considering a head swap. Like I stated in a previous post. I have a D16Z6 head and intake manifold. And a P28 hondata. And debating on using a ls throttle body. Would this make a difference or would it be all the work and no gain???

 

Mistype? 127.2 Max HP according to the dyno sheet. No where on that page can I find reference to a 177.7 hp number.

 

Yes mistype. I'm doing this from my cell. Anyways. About this Y7 bulid. The real reason I posted this. Should I do the head swap or just swap the intake mani or what? I have owned a H swapped 95 coupe and would rather go fast with gas mileage Hence y I wanna do a D. Right now its only got a header and I'm gonna get exhaust.

 

You're talking about a Mini-Me swap Check the FAQ. Even after you do the swap you'll still be slow. You won't come anywhere near a swapped H for horsepower. An intake manifold swap will get you a little HP. The whole Z6 head swap a little more.

Boost it or swap it.

 

How hard is it to junkyard boost my car?

New idea. A buddy just called and he's buying a crx with a D15. Would that be a better block for the Z6 head??

 

It has even LESS displacement and will still be slow. For D-series either boost or swap or give it up.

 

I ask because there's is a mini me swap that makes high compression. And if its using the 1.5 block I will. No everyone either has a b series or k series. I have even thought about the j series. Everyone says swap. I wanna use a D I just would like to know how to make power with it without swapping. And I have a set of B16 pistons and rods. A turbo off a eclipse. And a lot of D-series stuff.

 

buy my stuff, for starters:

And then boost it.

With a mild boost build you could still get ~30mpg with little trouble and a medium sized turbo.

 

So? What horsepower is it making? Not enough to go fast.

How to make power on a D-series? And the answer is the same. You cannot change the laws of physics. You cannot make any real power on a D without boost. The D-series is the economy motor of the Honda line so to speak. Go ahead and try and you will be slower than minivans and very unhappy as CRVs leave you at lights.

Boost it or go home.

 

I don't get this guy. He wants good gas milage and more power. There's no such thing.

By the time you made a naturally aspirated d-series that made decent power (i.e. 160whp) you'd be getting like 20mpg.

There are much more efficient ways of getting good power. Besides, your "h-swapped" eg should be capable of getting 26-30mpg if driven properly.

 

Don't bother with the Y7, I have one, I am speaking from experience. The only thing this engine is going to do without a **** of money, or turbo is get good gas mileage. That's what they are BUILT for!

Not to be rude, but you need to search. You really have got no clue what your getting your self into.

You either need to sell some organs on the black market, and do a N/A build, or Boost it, or swap it.
Boost is the only way to make good power with a single cam.

Do us all a favor and search.

 

your choice is boost. that is your only choice. or about 50k and still being stomped by stock b18s. not literally but i wouldn't be suprised if it lost to many.

 

ok i have a d16y7 i have just bought a shunk 2 intake manifold ,skunk2 rockers an piston rings .wat type of piston should i get an how much should i bore out my engine block am trying to go an all motor beast .i dont like turbo turbo is for cheaters an i hate nos i want to feel that raw power some one help me out
