i have a 98 ek that i recently bought and the stamp on the block says D16Y8. my friend also has a 98 EK but his motor says D16Y8. what im asking here is what is the difference between the two motors... does my motor have more HP is my motor just want to know the difference between the two motors thanks. sorry but i dont really deal with D sereis motors just want to know thanks

 

im guessing you mean you have a y8 and he has a y7? you might wanna edit that

and i found this on another site..
D16Y7 Honda Civic DX/LX/CX 1996-2000
D16Y8 Honda Civic EX 1996-2000

and i believe the diff is 10-20hp..in the y8's favor

D16Y7:
SOHC Non-VTEC
106 HP
Long-Geared Economy Transmission (coupes and hatches)
Retarded plenum-less intake manifold
Retarded exhaust manifold with integrated catalytic converter

D16Y8:
SOHC VTEC
127 HP
Short-Geared Transmission for better acceleration
Better flowing Intake and exhaust manifolds

 

The difference in the y7 and the y8 is that the y7 is from a DX, CX, or LX NON vtec sohc models. The y8 is from a EX model civic w/ sohc vtec. The y7 block has low compression pistons and the y8 ex has high compression pistons. Stock horsepower 96-00 civic y7=106 hp nonvtec and y8=127 hp w/ vtec.

 

so my car does have VTEC... i thought my friend was pulling my strings so if i was to race my friends car with the Y7 i have a better chance

 

Y8 has vtec

Y8 &gt; Y7

 

Wow. are you a Honda newb? And yes your car should beat the Y7. But a lot of other things depend on it.

 

no im so far from a new bee its just that ive been into bulding uo my JDM B18c and well i just really dont know much about D sereis engines.
