I finally got all my equipment together, and I'm starting to build (another) boosted d-series. My current setup is a d16y8, stock internals with a 14b turbo setup, walbro 255, dsm 450's, JRC FMIC and uberdata. I picked up another super clean y8 longblock late last year and have been piling stuff up ever since. So far I have the motor torn down, notched, and ready to go get honed/bead blasted. Heres what I currently have going together, and some pix:

-d16y8 longblock
-arp headstuds
-acl rod bearings
-acl main bearings
-new timing belt/water pump
-full gasket kit
-Eagle Rods
-Vitara pistons (standard bore)
-Hastings rings
-Greddy type RS BOV
-BMC Log mani
-16g turbo/housing
-ACT clutch (beefiest unsprung disc they make)
-Test pipe
-Braided fuel line (buying GE fuel rail soon)
-oil pressure sender relocator kit (to firewall)

I'm shooting for 300hp with this setup, and this is my only car/daily driver. I opted for the disc clutch for that reason....Pix:





I'll keep this updated as I go along. Heres a pic of my car from last year. Its going to look alot different this year...

i'm pretty sure if people have made 250whp with the greddy kit then a 16g can get close to 300whp

 

DSM guys make well over 300Hp on 16g's so why won't a honda do it????????

 

everythings looking good.. way to be with the SOHC

 

Yes, a 16g will support 300 hp. The EVO316g can support close to 400hp.

 

Welcome to the sohc vtec turbo club.

Yeah it should no problem...I was gonna go big 16g, but I was told there would be too much lag. I remember you from the meet...VSM coupe, boosted...nice car! Hopefully I'll get out that way this summer....I'm back in NY now.

I've been boosted for awhile....this is just a whole new motor/turbo setup to drop in soon...I hope!

 

Update...everything is ready to go in, but someone is helping me with the internals. Its my first build and I only wanna build this one once Block was hot tanked and honed, notched and painted a bit. Should be together within the next week or so. I'll get a bunch of pix up as well as the new turbo setup...

 

The engine looks nice!

Keep us updated on the progress... I can't wait to build my engine!

 

Let me know the piston clearance on thos vitaras. I am running them in a Y7 and my clearances were .003 over spec.

Bump for you..nice setup. EJ8 Squad

 

Finally more to add. Motor is still not done. Today My freind Daryl and I installed the new turbo setup on my current motor. This way when the new motor is done, it'll just all go together. I think the DP came out awesome. On with the pix:

Took the old turbo setup off....just my car chillin:


Daryl doin his thing...I personally can't weld for ****:


Test fitting everything, and partially finished DP:


New pipe hangin, old crappy dp hanging out of the way:


New pipe ready for o2 bung...I guess thats a bunghole :


New Greddy RS in place. The charge pipe is going to be powdercoated:


All together:




under the car:

 

Dude we have the exact same build it is sickening. Only I have a super 16G..

I have the standard 16G on my stock motor... the Super 16g supports 400 whp.

The only different thing we have is the rods, I have crower, you have eagle. I even have the same manifold.

 

haha sweet...We'll have to keep in touch and swap #'s and ****. I haven't got on it yet. I get a quickie tune on saturday, and full tune after the new motor drops in.

 

Definitley man. Hoping to have mine in by mid summer. Thanks to nonvtecD!

 

Very cool, good to see another boosted D

 

man i'm so envious of your new clean downpipe. My downpipe looks about exactly like your old rusted beat up one. It is the biggest piece of ****....

 

big 16g from an evo supports a little more than a regular 16g

 

your oil feed line looks a little on the big side

Super 16g? I assume you mean the EVO3 16g. There are 3 DSM 16g's: small 16g, big 16g, and the EVO3 16g.
