I rented a local dyno facility here in S. Fla today and invited a friend with his '99 Civic DX coupe whom I had done a mini-me conversion on about a year ago. It's a stock Y8 head and IM, DC 4-2-1 header, AEM CAI, Apex'i N1 catback and the stock OBD-II P2P EX ECU. Numbers were:

115whp- 2nd gear pull
124whp- 3rd gear pull
131whp- 4th gear pull



131whp / 110wtq with a true "bolt-on" mini-me D16Y7

 

nice numbers!!

for an i/h/e thats pretty damn good!

whats his compression, what kind of gasket did he use when doing the minime?

 

can you post some graphs up on this, i'd like to see them. thanks

 

i'm assuming that was with a stock y7 bottom end as well?

 

Nice numbers for a Y7 with bolt-ons.

 

what do stock y8s usually pull?

 

15-16's depending on how loaded the vehicle is.

 

**** man thats sweet! and the 4th gear pull was a good amount more hp than the 3rd gear pulls

 

what gear is the "norm" for the dyno?

3rd. but on the 3rd gear pull he was on a ex computer then he put the p28 on for the 3rd pull. Dave why didn't you tell them about the 4th pull? Robert at Twilight told us you can run through all the gears hard so he did it. according to the dyno it only took 14 secs to get from 0-100. it was funny watching him run it hard on the dyno

 

wow thats alot of power .... what to do with it ....

 

eat up B16's for a third of the cost

 

good numbers for a mini-me w/ those mods
dyno chart?

 

Dave will probally scan that today

 

Gabby didn't give me the sheet, but he'll drop it off so I can take a pic of it and put it up here.

BTW we used a Y8 headgasket and yes it's a stock Y7 bottom end

 

very surprising

 

is the y8 gasket metal, just curious

also a side note, whats the thinnest oem gasket you can get for this combo?

that would be the d16y8 2 layor metal gasket

 

i have a mechanic working on my head rightnow, and he needs the valve guide seals, and cuz i need every other gasket imaginable, i'm gonna buy a kit

is whats the difference between a normal y8 (which i hear is tripple layered) and a double y8? or is there even such a difference? and would it come as part of a kit?

 

You just pull the middle layer out on the Y8 headgasket.

 

and no side effects?

hell why not just use one gasket then!

 

very nice numbers.

 

thats not too bad, I was considering doing the mini-me to my LX but the motors dead, so time for a b-series.

 

yeah very nice numbers definetely!

I see y7's do some cool stuff often!
newer dseires is cool.

too bad they're so expensivo(heh.. like i'm going to pay 700 for a sohc! hah!)

 

Wow he's making as much as an stock DOHC Si- Tell him Good Job!
