Hello, I want to build a project on a d16z6, but I need help .. My project is for 400hp, first doubt, I take piston and connecting rod for 600hp or something for 1000hp? Crankshaft can I use stock or need to buy some other, if yes which engine can I buy? Until now this is the parts i'm looking to buy

- Conecting rods: Skunk2
- piston: Wiseco
- valves and springs: Skunk2
- Camshaft: Tuner Stage 4 Skunk2
- Cam gear: Pro gear Skunk2
- Intake: Pro Series Skunk2 (Ultra Race + plenum spacer Skunk2)
- Tbi: Pro 70mm Skunk2 (Pro 90mm Skunk2)
- Crankshaft: Stock?
- Hondata s300 + traction control(?)

Turbocharger, intercooler and another parts i will look later, i want to know if have any incompatibility or something that can improve for now.. On the engine I believe I spend close to 3~4000$

 

That is too much camshaft for a Turbo engine... I suggest something more moderate. The intake manifold is over-kill for 400hp and the T/B is WAY too big for that power level. The regular Pro Series I/M and a cast T/B in the 65-70mm size will be more than adequate for your target power level... and even work if you want to grow. You will need to Sleeve your block to safely make this level of power... or CSS at a minimum.

 

Thanks for the reply.. It's better i buy the stage 2 or i can buy stage 3? And Crower is a good brand or is better i try to buy from skunk2? Idk because on my country(Brazil) don't have any parts from this engine and i need to buy all from USA.. Ok i will change the intake and T/B from Pro series and 70mm, and you know if the crankshaft can work without problems with this HP? And another parts it's ok?

 

The crank is ok... I would buy the Stage 2 camshaft and Crower is a good product.

 

Thank you sir, your help is being very important to me.. Can you help me to choose the turbocharger? What is best J.B or B.B? And precision is the best brand to buy? Probably i will use my build with 15~20 psi, i think with it i can reach the 400hp

 

Turbonetics will be the cheaper option. I've had PTE before and for the money, there are better turbo's for lesser price.

 

I have a lot more experience with supercharging than with turbocharging... so my personal exposure to turbochargers has been limited to Garrett and Borg/Warner. Both are exceptional products, but there are many on here that may argue that you can get similar quality for less money. I have always looked at it like if you buy the BEST quality, the worst thing that can happen is you "may" spend a little more than you have to. If you don't buy "good enough quality" you get to spend ALL of the money over getting it right the second time.

Maybe TheShodan can chime in on a turbo recommendation for you. He offers some nice stuff and I believe it is Garrett based as well. Good quality improved... sounds like a "win" to me.

 

But is the quality similar? Because I live in Brazil and for me to buy something like that later would take a long time and can you tell me which turbine would be cool for my project?

 

And which do you think is better? And what would be a good compressor? I've heard a lot about jackson racing, but they don't do it for the d16 anymore.. as my project is still in starting I can change the turbo to supercharger, although I'm not so fan of supercharger sound

 

I PM'd you a link. Looks to be just what you need.

 

Quality is quite similar. PTE cost more. Turbonetics merged/bought out PTE if I'm not mistaken. Buy a turbo to fit your build. In other words, don't get a small turbo when you have a larger displacement motor or higher HP expectations. Same goes for a larger turbo on a smaller engine.
