Well got my new d16y8 setup running, [retty sure the computer is fawked though. Temp goes from normal to cold and just bounces around, and it throws a CEL randomly and runs rich as hell after the CEL. If anyone has a p28 they're looking to sell pm me. Here she is:



I know you all love the multi-colored rats nest of wires in there

Its a stock y7 bottom end with a y8 head, and the head is milled to up the compression to stock ex compression , and i go tthe cam gear on there retarded to ge tthe whole compression thing right. Also have Ractive cold air intake, 4-2-1 header, full exhuast with no cat. Once I get some cash im going to get it dynoed do you think 150whp is too much to expect? Ahh yes and while im here a picture of my dirty dirty EK hatch:


I'll post better pics of the car once i get my rims and get her cleaned and waxed. I would have rims if it werent for these the select shady h-t characters .

Let me know what u think

What are all the extra wires though...that should have been a nice easy swap...

 

nice ride
hows the power when you switched heads?
was it worth it?

 

150whp is too much to expect.

 

clean engine, but are all those loose wires for your fog lights?

 

WTF is up with the wires?!?

 

isnt there supposed to be a ground wire running from right there at the valve cover?

 

yeah theres a lot of wires everywhere...

 

150whp?

Perhaps if you had a 50 shot!

Do I see 2 sets of fog lights?

those fog lights are for cosmetic purposes right? You might as well go all out rally style fog lights (Impreza fogs) if you want function. lol

 

did u do an engine swap??

 

eww

 

the wires look like christmas decorations...hehe

 

this belongs in the cosmetic and appearance forum not this one.

 

Clean up those wires and it will be

150 whp from a stock ex engine? how about 105 whp? you should've just gotten an ex engine harness and ecu, and the wiring would've been a lot easier and cleaner looking.

 

With the name "Turbotime" I was expecting something else.

I hope you like the car, cause I don't. Sorry.

Good job swapping heads

 

engine looks good , but i'm not really feelin the 2 sets of fogs

 

thats f'ed up sorry

 

your foglights and its wires are gay....
otherwise good luck with your dyno....

 

clean that **** up. take off the eyelids and tiny assed foglights, and it'll be a lot nicer IMO.

your car looks like you just came out of high school. =P

jk jk.. "To each their own."

good luck with the car.

 

damn you guys are ragging on this guy pretty bad...nice job doing the y8 head swap yourself. I would do something about those nasty wires though ....and get rid of the fogs. Then you should be straight. I also wouldn't expect close to 150whp with your setup. Get some good pistons, a good cam, p and p the head, etc...then maybe you'll be making over 150whp. You should be able to get 170whp out of that engine if you do it right.

Yes there should be.

Also, I would not expect 150whp...more like 110-120whp.
