Is there any fine sohc Non v turbo builds out there? Need some info because I'm planning on building my d16y7 for some boost. Any pros and cons? Really intrested I don't wanna count out these motors, i wanna create a beast, Possible?

 

There's a Forced Induction forum for this kind of stuff.

 

i have a y7, 300whp for the last 3 years, no issue, just a solid build and a good tune

 

Wow! What's ur setup if u don't mind me asking?

 

 

hey just go vtec lol and yes its got alot to do with tune and the trust of ur engine lol iv seen 500 whp stock turbo cars just because they have a reliable engine and a bad *** tune

 

you must be oblivious to the sohc engine, or most honda engines to post some bullshit like this....

OP, a safe and "reliable" turbo build on a stock d series will net you 180-200HP. not 500 like the tard above says. there have been cases of 400-500whp builds on a stock sohc, but they dont last, ever, and are used for one or two passes during a drag race...

if your truly want to do something like this i suggest you do a ton of reading, and not only on honda-tech, because there is so much misinformation here, if we actually weeded out the idiots, we would have about 2/3's less of the users here.

and truth be told, even on a stock engine with boost, its not all cake and icing.

 

^everything yes. My dd is a boosted d16z6 with a stock engine. It's 190hp at 9psi, and like I said, it's been my daily for two years and haven't had any issues with it. I have heard of guys that will milk 220hp out of a stock boosted sohc for a daily car, but I wouldn't count on that lasting more than a single summer.

 

 

Anyone know where i can get a high flow oil pump for a d16y7...

 

Do you really need the high flow pump? I read with chevys you don't usually need it. Do you run the risk of sucking all the oil out of the sump?

 

man you need to go to good and search. no one is going to spoon feed you here. the y7 intake manifold sucks for making power. the y7/y8/y5 motors are prone to spinning bearings because of the one oil port for the rods. the oil pump is fine if ur just boosting a stock engine.

 

Chevys? How does that equate whatsoever to a boosted Honda?

OP. Port and shim your oil pump. Do a search.

 

Didn't want to present my knowledge as honda based on this topic but an engine is an engine most running otto cycle for all intents and purposes. The point I was getting at is the same as what you said stock oil pump is fine.

For the chevy comment I have read a high flow pump just draws more power off the crank and can suck the sump dry which sounds similiar for the hondas. Also in my experience this side of a dry sump the oil pump is generally a direct drive off the crank so higher rpms will cause greater oil flow thus in a high reving motor being built for performabce a stcok oil pump for most motors would suffice. The high flow would from my understanding help more at low rpms when the pump is spinning slower flowing less oil.

I do appreciate your input though and I am trying to learn the specific strong and week points of the Honda motors so when I do rebuild or replace my d15 I do it right. I have a good working knowledge of motors in general but am new to the Honda scene.

 

Stock oil pump on a Y7/Y8 is NOT fine when couple with the deficiency of the oiling of the crank. I never said that. Port/shim the stock pump to boost pressure or get a Z6 crank.

Leave your Chevy experience at the door. It will hurt rather than help.

 

Cool thanks for the info. I was thinking ported is still a tock pump but that is symantics. Thanks for the info. Most of my experience is on Mercedes but I am in the middle of a build on a Chevy. The theory on topics I am comfortable with and getting better on the practicle end of everything everytime I do a new project. Thanks for the input.

 

i ran a stock y8 oil pump on a z6 for yrs with no oil pressure problems. it's the crank that has the issues not the oil pump. porting and shimming it may help some but u still have only one hole to cool the rod bearings. even people with shimmed and ported oil pumps have been still known to spin rod bearings. using a z6 crank would help the most not porting and shimming the pump. even z6's still tend to spin rod bearings.maintenance and keeping oil changes every 3k( keeping the viscosity high) is the best way to prevent spinning a rod bearing. another side note is the d15 block will not accept a z6 crank.

 

I believe the op was for a y8 but good to know. Thank you.
