i have a d16 si motor in my crx and i wanted to know what would be the best street/drag race set-up for it and a reasonable cost im still in high school so i can spend too much in it so can someone help me out. thanks

 

Here is my set-up.
88 D16A6
.50 over P29 pistons, swaintech coated top and skirts.
stock rods with ARP rod bolts
ACL main and rod bearings
ARP head studs.
mild P&P head 40 thou milled (end compression ratio is around 12:1)
Rocket/RM nonVTEC cam
ISKY valvetrain
ACT prolite flywheel and hyper clutch.
chikara header (because my old one cracked), BISI sometime in the future
stock induction system for now.
turboedit with NG48 ROM
MSD external coil with MSD wires and Rocket modified NGK colder sparkplugs
no 1/4 mile numbers as i am not interested in that and since the engine has not been tuned yet.
sometime in the future perhaps...
pretty fast set-up, loses traction in first and second at 7-8K RPM.
it idles lopey and runs rich at idle, and it needs around 97 octane to be happy
the set-up was not as cheap as i intended it, but over all it is a nice light stock looking engine.

damn stan you are running the EXACT same setup i am going to run on my A6, although I won't be milling the head that much.

What's the lift and duration on Rockets cam?

 

no tuning=no power.get it tuned rite and then see if that is the answer to your problem!

are you running the a6 intake manifold and TB? Your set, as said before, is real close to what I will be running. Keep us up to date.
