hey guys . the turbo D is back!!!!!! after 2 long months without a honda its finally in my posession again. ive learned alot and have experinced the finer things as well as really shitty things . first let me say that this is my experience , i dont care how you were treated and if you disagree , this is my POV . after blowing my motor i turned to modacar in livermore ca. ive done buisness with them for years and love them . they recomended AEBS for the motor sleeving and buildup , ive herd good things about them and agreed . i also said that i was considering benson . im glad i went with aebs but i paid for it in the end . modacar called AEBS and told them wussup , they said they had a d16y8 block , sleeved and o-ringed ready to be built , and if i sent my parts in(cp pistons and pauter rods) that they would have it done in a week . WOW i was loving the one week part . so everything was good right??? NO . after 2 weeks modacar called , and this was the beginning of bold face lies and coverups from AEBS . first if they even answered the phone the person didnt know anything and said to call back . this game was played many times with no answers from them . one begins to wonder when you dont get any answers or customer service help from a good company . about a month passed and AEBS said it was in the machine shop....wait a minute i thought you said it was all done? well i guess not they had just started . modacar as well as myself were starting to get pissed and tired of the runaround . finally they said they had shipped it , great!!! .3 days later they call and say they hadent shipped it they were waiting on the crank . WTF!!!!!!! AEBS told modacar 2 more times that it had been shipped when it didnt . so 2 months after a promised 1 week turnaround , the block arives . it looks great!!! but no o-rings , i was charged for o-ringing but no o-rings . but despite the bullshit , the quality was top notch and i was happy . ready to start the buildup??? nope , aebs forgot to mention that the pistons stick .002" above the deck surface , "they were the wrong pistons" they told us . we measured the deck surface and turns out it was actually .004 above , and that they had machined the deck . but it was the wrong pistons , ya ****** right . so we had to order a custom cometic . so the buildup began after the gasket was recieved . after modacar working their asses off staying way past work hours , going way beyond what they had to do , the car is done! i cant say enough good things about modacar . they have my buisness for life for all the things they did. AEBS on the other hand are run by a bunch of immature people who could care less about the customer , but their work is fantastic , so i guess you have to take it up the *** for a good motor . i highly recomend modacar if you want your car done right . enough bitching , here is the motor :

2000 D16y8 block
AEBS T sleeves
CP 9.0 to 1 pistons
pauter rods
full balance and blueprint by aebs
GE fuel rail

i heard that turbo is awesome. was talking to rod from precision about it. apparently the GT turbine wheels actually make quite a difference

 

Why would you go through a middleman like Modacar when you could have gone through AEBS yourself? It sounds like Modacar is shity too and your making excuses for them.

 

nice

 

I like how you did your intercooler piping

 

Nice car,but quick question.
What is that Carbing strip that by the battery for?

where the hell would you get that idea . i know the owners and every worker there personally so i know how they operate . and i have neither the tools , time or resources to disasemble a motor , ship it ,recieve it then reinstall .

i know it was aebs because i called them myself.

 

and im just breaking in the motor right now , its got 52 miles on it!!!!!
ill be running max boost on this little turbo untill i finish my new setup . im expecting high 200's out of this thing . car drives great at 9.0:1 too .
it was tuned at 10 lbs before i melted a piston . thanks cheapo gas!
