Hey guys, let me know what kind of upgrades i can do to a d16y7 with $500 for a little extra horsepower.

Thanks!

 

just leave it alone that's one of Honda's slowest engines especially with that trans.

 

Save the 500$, take the y7 with tranny and sell it to someone who is just looking for a replacement and find you're self another set up

 

Dude you're saying way too much. Keep it simple like this:


PUT THE 500 TOWARDS A COMPLETE SWAP.

 

Nothing.

You could do intake, exhaust, and intake/exhaust manifolds. Maybe get it tuned for that setup

 

Sure, you can do I/H/E, but those aren't upgrades - you won't gain anything from them.

Sure, you can get it tuned, but that would be the biggest waste of $500 I've seen in a long time.

Spend that money on a standard EX or 92-95 SI transmission. If it's an autotragic, spend it swapping to standard with one of the aforementioned transmissions. Your horsepower won't go up, but your effective torque will, and your car will definitely feel more spunky. Spend whatever is left on a full tune-up, focusing on new, OEM spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor.

 

$500?
Not.
A.
Damn.
Thing.

 

for 500$ swap trans to z6/y8, buy and install a y8 head. you would then essentially have a complete y8 swap.

thank me later OP

Its not complete no tuning option. FAIL.

 

 

Sorry OP. Your options are very limited. Anything you add such as a I/H/E will be a waste of money, and just something that you're paying for that just add's noise.

 

Nitrous. hahaha. vrooom…. booom.

Seriously, just keep your money until you have enough to do something serious. Otherwise you will probably be very disappointed in the results.

With some patience, good planning, and saving you can do something worthwhile.

 

No patience. Hence the thread.
