What is the highest power output from a reliable d16a6..... to the wheels?
what are the main modifications required and an estimated of price....

 

ported plolished head
new cam
new valve train
lightened flywheel and pullies
new berrings
some sort of d16a1 piston or rod combo
ignition system
fuel system
sunk 2 intake manifold when it comes out

mabey 160whp
price, 3-4 grand prolly

or you could bore and stroke it to a 1.8 or 1.9 or something
200ish hp possible.

 

I've got I/H/E, Crane stage 2 cam, 2.25 inch exhaust with no cat. It's still slow.

 

thats cause the si's compression is so damn low

 

<--- IHE, headwork, Exospeed custom cam, 2.25 exh. no cat, CRX HF, slicks, 8K rev limit, stock clutch, stock "low compression" Si bottom end. 140hp to the wheels. 13.6@99mph @35 mpg.

 

A friend of mine threw together a mild d16a6 with 11.1 pistons, a JG race cam, newer intake manifold, and all the bolt ons and it made 151hp and 132tq@ wheels and ran a 13.0 w/slicks in a gutted crx....they could have made more power too, they never had time to tune it.

 

ya its not so hard to really get some good times with the D16A6. with the right combination, its an easy 13 sec car.

sorry to bring this topic back from the dead but.... i just wanted to know what you guys think about this statement? how accurate is that? can a D16a6 really make that much WHP with just thoes mods?

I mean i can see like 145ish with rebuilt D16a6, a1 pistons, head work & a mild cam but 160whp is crazy for a 1.6 sohc non-vtec

 

I had a d16a6 before, I had polished headers intake strait pipe and still 94 hp when I dyno'd it, I think you coulb build up a killer one, but it would cost allot.

 

Its east to make a d16a6 fast with the right combination of tried and true aftermarket parts.. It also depends on the condition of the motor and how well you keep and tune it. This is my 3rd motor ive been through and the fastest setup by far.. ive learned that mild JG cams suck, headwork can free up a good amount of power, youll need a chipped ECU in order to utilize the full potential of an aftermarket cam, and that the d16a6 can handle 7800- 8000 with no problem.

I can hang with ZC and b16 powered hatches. I beat my friends b16 powered ef when he was all stock. ive beaten b16 integras, GSRs, and some other cars i thought i shouldnt have. i can say that 3rd gear really sucks on the Si tranny. My friend with the b16a EF has smoked many hybrid hatches, and i am right with him or in front of him until 3rd gear.

 

SO YOUR SAYING THAT THIS MODIFICATION....Its east to make a d16a6 fast with the right combination of tried and true aftermarket parts..

IS IT THE BEST OUTPUT FROM A D16 ENGINE? ANY WEB ARTICLE OR DOCUMENTATION WE COULD KEEP FROM THESE MODIFICATION, I, TOO OWN A D16 AND WANTS TO SEE IF I COULD JUST KEEP THE ENGINE AND MODIFY IT RATHER THAN SWAPPING IT WITH A B16 ENGINE...

 

if you want to makes your d series quick, you have a drop a lot of $$ on it and gut the crap out of your car. price per performance is better on a b series. it is cheaper in the long run to do a b series swap. if you want a challenge, build a d

 

I want to biuld mine so strong that i can put a wet NOS shot behind of about 150-250 hp

 

I personly have not seen it but I think this setup could net over 200whp, and be releatively cheep.

Head shaved to bring compression to around 11:1
P/P head
Springs/retainers
Mild cam
8000 rev limit
Eagle rods
SRP pistons
ITB's
Zdyne tuned

Now that I think about it, that would be one hellofa fun project...

I mean, how many people have a 200hp+ all motor D16?

 

bisimoto did it....is this feat attainable to the financially challenged individual? just a wishful thinking i suppose

see this is what i'm saying......... can you really achive 160whp-(200hp) with just those mods? I personally think that the ITB's will only yeild about 4-6hp PEAK and will really drown out your lower & midrange power.

I mean i really want to build up my D16, but i want to know what is the reasonable expected WHP with baically thoes mods

 

I'd say 140-150.

 

yeah that's what i was leaning towards. I have yet to see a 175-200whp all motor street driven, 93octane(max) D16a6 or D16z6/y8...

 

what kind of power do you think this setup will put out?
times?
Full Port/Polish
Shaved Head - 11:1 compression
Balanced and Blueprinted
AEM intake
DC header
Bosal Exhaust

without a cam? low 15's, high 14's.

 

That has to do better than high 14s. I hit high 14s with a cam only (stock clutch, stock throttle body, stock ecu, stock intake mani - just i/h/e/cam)! If I would have gotten headwork, balnced/blueprinted, shaved head, I would have been low 14s, high 13s with slicks...

I realize he didn't mention a cam, but headwork is what releases the power in a d16a6 (from what I heard).

 

Im going for 155 whp , with a simple setup ,
D16a6
aries 11:1
eagle rods
I ported the head my self ,and it has a crane cam in it, the baby one . the mtr is allmost done ,Bran new everything just need clutch and LSD. and we are gonna rock

Its because you slaped on the goodies on a old engine and I bet you have a lil valve float since you never changed the valve springs. Im sure if it was a fresh rebuilt engine with the same combo it would have a lil more umph. I still think its best to get a dohc zc or go b series rather than dump a ton of $$$ in to a sohc.

 

the head has new guides and everything, Everything was touched on this mtr

 

Screw the A6, go a step above and get VTEC.

My current goals for my setup are as follows:
Rebuild my current Z6 block, and add A6 pistons (11:1 compression)
Port and polish job on the Y8 Head
I/H/E
ZC Tranny (perhaps)
Light port and polish job on the intake manifold (Y8)
58mm TB (92+ Accord?)
Lighter weight rims (HX, or whatever I can find)
Blueprinted Fuel injectors (my current A6's)

Then just bring it to a dyno, and tune it right with my V-AFC, and adjustable FPR.

I'm hoping to get 155 HP at the flywheel, but I guess we'll see...
