still trying to decide on what cam i want, i may go with the zex/comp cams stage 2
springs and retainers
mild P&P on the head
OEM bearings, head and rod bolts
then your usual i/h/cat/e and CM stage 1 clutch


who knows what i'll end up doing, but this is the plan for now-- i just hope i dont get greedy and do something stupid. :lol:

[92hondacivicsi]

z6 head
3 angle valve job
skunk2 valve springs and retainers
zex/comp cams 59100 cam
aem adjustable cam

z6 block

[DOG]

What are you guys using for your homemade hondata gaskets? Sounds interesting.
Dog

[kommon_sense]

Check www.an-r.com . They sell IM gaskets that are the same as the hondata ones. I believe that they go for $35.

I do have an aftermarket cam..the problem is that i bought the vtec head with it and i dont know which one it is.

I have both..An OEM cam(which im selling) and the aftermarket one that is installed. Im thinking of going Crower stage 2

[Toddnos]

Cool cool...........Ive heard good things about the crower units.......I have a jg cam, and i like it. Well actually two jg cams, but one is too sick, my car wont run with it in.........

Whoa.......just noticed your FD setup....what exactly does that do? What LSD you got?

[cltchbrnr]

I all ready have the motor done, and the tranny has the 4.7 final drive. I just need to put the oem lsd in, i believe vxi, not sure I bought it from my buddy. Now its just a matter of getting little parts and putting it in.

[DOG]

Sweet setup. Did the tranny cost you alot?

[robtec]

today i reinstall the stock z6 head, the car actually feels a lot better. the port and polished head that i was using was a piece of crap.
i will post pics as soon as i can.
remember ,when buying a used head take it to a person that knows a lot about head first,to see if it is a good one, if is too cheap ,probably is a piece of crap too :D

Nice. Can you actually go that big even on a resleeve? The walls between your cylinders is going to be paper thin. Take pics when you get the block back!

Engine is in and running right now

If you can make 160whp you'll be my hero... that's what I'm targetting with a similar build.

[specialED]

A6 block bored .050", knife-edged crank, otherwise stock
Ross racing pistons, 11.2:1 C/R
Y8 head and IM
B18b t-body
MSD 6A/Blaster SS coil
B&M variable FPR, either RPM switch or Apex V-AFC
Fidanza flywheel, Quaiffe diff

Will do header and exhaust stuff later, need to get car running first! Should have the engine in the car within 30 days. Hoping for 130 WHP and maybe a high 15 in the 1/4 (I'm in Colorado; our track is at over 5,000 ft).

with that setup you should expect more than 130,my z6 made 138hp with a bad head and no tunning, and that setup will put your car in the 14s with out doubt!!

not to sure if I should tell anyone about that little dip stick...lets just say its nice.

:wink:

[89hatchback]

Havent even got the engine yet, i am getting it put in sometime this month tho. Here is what i am gunna try to do:
JDM D15B vtec motor
Crower Cams with a slight lope
Arias Pistons
AEM Adjustable Cam gear, or a Skunk2
Cold Air Intake
DC Sports 4-2-1 Headers
Custom Bent Catback Exhaust
Then im going to build the motor and put a street legal greddy turbo kit(after i have been running the above setup for over a year tho, lol).
Should end up putting 210+ hp at the crank, around 160-175hp at the wheels. Maybe more with proper tuning. This is all in my STD (standard base model) 1989 Civic Hatchback, no ac, no nothing. :lol:

"I blow my nose in the general direction of B engines!"

I am just wondering why you run 15mm wheen spacers on stock SI rims?

[Anonymous]

for autox; I use 13" wheels that need to clear the bleeder on the brakes.
Otherwise, I would not use them. Would rather run shorter studs, they attract attention with other civic owners thinking that I am a drager when in fact I am a autoxer.

[Anonymous]

oops, regarding the spacers, I do not use them with the SI wheels, they would rub [i tried], just with the 13" wheels.

[infinatenexus]

what kind of 13's are you rinning, and what tires, there isn't too many tires available in that size?

And here I was thinking I was cool:

A6 block (all stock internals)
Z6 head (stock z6 stuff)
All Honda gaskets, belts, etc.
Chikara header (20 bucks, better than nothin')
OBD0 (eh...maybe OBD1-it later)
no name ram intake w/ K&N
OBX Cat-Back
Field SFC (nice and simple)
ZEX kit (fun, but not everyday fun)

For a poor student that needs to drive his car to school/work/EVERYWHERE I'm doing ok.

[Toddnos]

Your an idiot!! Javier and i also have an understanding.....I have two different JG cams, and one is a custom grind.....which one do you have?
Your not special A hole. I hate it when peeps think they have some secret weopon that nobody can know about.............I have been dealing with Javier from JG for years now. before that it was Joel. So get a clue!!
I bet you have a 85vt35. Or a vt80 with a "special" exhaust lobe..........

I am not rice. I gues you all want me to say that I am, but im not.

silly mind games are not what I am about, so go play someplace else.

Being open about some of the things I do to my engine to me is alright, but when it comes to others telling me I have to open up more or I am rice is a bunch of bull crap.

Well how about this,, I know why your car is over heating,, but for me to open up about my engine knowledge would be a bunch of bull crap.

well, I fixed the overheating issue, but thanks anyway.

Isn' the point of this forum to help eachother? We all want to make our d-series motors go that much faster, so when someone asks you what you have why not tell them? We are not going to race for millions of dollars so you can't say what you have, we simply want to make our motors better and want the opinions of others. I just think it is stupid.

use to make 138hp to the wheels :cry: now with the stock head with h/i/e and the crower stage 2 camand no a/c and power steering, i dont know how much is making :?: but it running 15.9@90mph :?

what do you all think about this time with this setup?? :?:

[freeturkeys]

ok... right now i got a 97 civic dx sedan with a custom cat-back and an aem short ram. period :( lol but on the way i got a d15b vtec and shortly after that a little laughing gas, then on to turbo.. it'l be a bumpy ride but i think it'll be worth it.

[DOG]

Cool.
This afternoon I got home and started porting the TB opening on a D15b7 IM.
I bought a TB gasket for the H22a1 TB I have and marked the opening size onto the b7 IM. Then I ground it out to the right size and smoothed out the inside of the plenum close to TB opening. Tomorrow, I am taking it to get an acid bath and get it cleaned up. I left the runners alone for now. I checked the job after I was finished and dropped the gasket and TB back on. Perfect match. Took out alot of material. Well see.

[Tacktix]

My first post...
I'm from Holland and drive an '98 Coupé with a virgin D16Y7. I've build a costum CAI... It sounds great and it shifted my max torque to aprox 4000 rpm. I'm impressed! :D You people talk the same about the D series as me and a couple of my friends. It seems like the rest of Holland is stuck in this F&tF trip. Trying to get their hands on a perfect B series setup, talking as if they have a B16 or B18 and do a 12 sec flat on the 1/4 mile. In fact they drive a stock Rex and have no money to do any thing, just stick some stickers on.
I have a D16Z9 laying round, and I've read lots of ideas about putting together the best with the best... What's the best option? I've read about building a Y8 head on and then mounting the TB of a B18 on and stuff... But what's your ideas about the first step? Gimme some input please
See ya

[Toddnos]

Honda dog, and infanat know my set up, but here it is:

JG 85vt35 camshaft
Apexi four to one header
no cat/full 2.25 to ultraflo
Holley fuel pump
Bal. and blueprinted RC injectors
NOS by Holley 50 shot dry
On the engine stand is a d16a6 bottom end waiting to be installed(which will be very very soon now, cuz one cylinder is 30 pounds low).
OBD 2 to 1 conversion with a p28 ecu

Project a6/y8 is scrapped!
I will be pulling the bottom end from the y8, and rebuilding it with p03 flat top pistons from a 88-91 dx. That plus my new billet cam i picked up last week, with all the other stuff above^^^^should be a good set up!!
According to Javier, the plans i had with the a6 bottom end wasnt going to work out. The valve reliefs on the a6 pistons dont match the vtec head. That plus my cam lift and head mill could prove detrimental during a misshift.

Got the heads back on both projects today. After my oil control jet delima :lol: . I went to Honda to pick up some much needed gaskets, bolts, and injector seals. Got home and tq'ed both heads down in sequence to the proper specs.
On Project Junkyard Dog I have decided to use the b7 IM that I just finished porting to the H22a1 TB size of 62mm.. Looks cool with that big TB on the skinny b7 IM. Looks brand new now that its all clean.
Still waiting for the JDM Dual Carb IM for Project DII, but I am ready for it.

Got my JDM ZC SOHC Dual Carb/Intake manifold set-up yesterday. Dual Keihin's and it almost looks brand new. The intake's runners runners are BIG!
It fits the y7 head perfectly. There are two bolt holes that need to be drilled. JDM only uses 5 of the 7 holes that the U.S. use. Other than that it's a straight swap as far as the bolt pattern. I am looking for any info on these as far as vac. lines, cfm flow, and links to info. If you know anything I would appreciate it.

[DOG]

Well just got through putting the dual carb/intake manifold (PM-4) back together again. Didnt really have to do too much to it. Cleaned the intake manifold. Took off both carbs and put new o-ring gaskets on the bases where the carbs meet the manifold. Also took off all the vac lines, changed the fuel lines, and removed the choke. Once it was all together again I realized that I needed to drill 2 extra bolt holes on the flange where it meets the head because JDM only uses 5 instead of the 7 USDM uses. I probably could have gotton away with just removing the 2 extra studs in the head that hold the IM on but figured I would be safe about it. Once I got the 2 holes drilled it fit perfectly. A new IM gasket and grade 8 nuts :lol: , put it on the D15y7 hybrid conglomeration. I felt like Dr. Frankenstien. It looks mean as shi* once installed on the y7 head. Soon I will be done and my next step is to put it in an 87 civic.

hey toddnos... you say that the PM6 pistons won't work with the y8 head? I plan on running the crower stage 2 cam with this setup, and it would be nice to know if i'm gonna screw somethin up.

[Toddnos]

hey toddnos... you say that the PM6 pistons won't work with the y8 head? I plan on running the crower stage 2 cam with this setup, and it would be nice to know if i'm gonna screw somethin up. Javier from JG told me it will work, but teh valve reliefs dont line up.........I have a cam and 40 thou. mill on my y8 head, and he said miss a gear with that set up, and bend some valves. I dont know this first hand, and plan on checking the info out.........I had heard it was a good setup, but now im not so sure anymore :?

[S Q A D]

javier .. the fat guy with the mole , that dude is cool as hell , he built my friend a 500whp b16 on 17psi ... that thing was off the hook, he had to give ole javier 5k, though ... OUCH !! $$ !! JG is expensive in my opinion, but also does some of the best engine work in cali ...

oh yeah my setup :

y7 block
c.a.i
2.5inch custom piping

[soccaian]

i just got my head back from the machine shop... i'm gonna check it out right now...

[soccaian]

i suppose they all line up, but since the intake valves are larger than the exhaust--- there could be a problem there...

[S Q A D]

you live close enough to JG ? where at cause im only 15-20 minutes away from alhambra .. if even that ... yea javier is the man , he hooked up my friend up ... they built a nsx that can rev to 11,000rpm ... crazy ... jojo callos even put that b16 in my friends car, he was chillin @ JG when we went to pick it up, it was dope

[Toddnos]

in the middle of the buildup right now (just waiting on rings)...hoping to get some decent numbers outta this build up. My goal is 150 whp...but im only expecting 135 or so.

We'll see tho :)

Well here is what im doin:
d16z6 block and head

Block:
a6 pistons (pm6) Brings compresison to almost 11:1 with 2 layer headgasket (y8 metal gasket) was gonna use zc pistons but nets 14.1:1 compression...too high for what i want.
All new bearings rings, timing belt, seals etc

Head: Zex valve springs,
crower retainers
Crower Stage 2 cam,
Y8 intake manifold,
gsr throttle body,
skunk2 cam gear

Took the carbs apart last night.pulled the slides out and polished them. Polished the throats of the carbs and rounded the bottom edge of the slide and smoothed it out. Shaved 1mm off the top of the plastic spring retainer to alow slide to move higher. Also cut the top 3 loops at the top of the spring then extended the spring back to original size allowing for less resistance and faster throttle response. I plan on getting the next size main jet and needle. May check out Dyno Jet or another CV carb jet kit. Connected the 2 Black/yellow stripe wires coming from the 2 Slow jet fuel cutoff solenoids and soldered them together w/ another wire that will lead to the Ignition wire. The Primary slow jet solenoid that also carries the ground for both solenoids now has a screw down connector so I can ground it to the carb. We will see if this works to allow fuel to the carbs at start-up. Still have some work to do, but getting closer. Also just bought a pair of DellOrto Sidedraft carbs.

I dont think it will be a problem. I have seen people put a1 pistons (DOMED, not flat like the a6's) in z6 motors without any problems. If you are really worried about it, have a machine shop clay the motor for valve clearance before you assemble it all together.

[brent]

yeah i was plannin on doin that just to be safe.

[redzcstandardhatch]

yeah, didnt know you were on here brent!(screamincivik) i just found this forum again! your setup's gonna rock man, need any help putting it together? i'd love to lend ya a hand if ya need some assistance, i'll even do grunt work, whatever. i'm hoping for similar power numbers, possibly around 140's, we'll see what really happens though. the cx crank pulley i'm runnin on my car is mainly for weight loss, it actually is about an 1/8 bigger than the factory zc pulley, but its a LOT lighter. i was gonna run a civic standard pulley(super light) but the one i have laying around has a ginormous chunk out of one part in the middle, so its on my beater! haha! I'll hopefully post some pictures of my custom header, lots of people ask me to post that. screamincivik has seen it, he'll tell ya i'm not lying

Well last night I gave up on the 2wire 3wire IACV problem and decided to just mount the regular 2wire IACV on the back of my y8 auto IM. I dont feel like handing over the extra money to someone to machine the holes into the back of the IM so I figured last night at 3:00 in the morning that I would do it myself and save the extra cash for something else. It was alot easier than I thought it was. Stuck a gasket on the TB plate mount on the plenum and market were I needed to start drilling. Started out with a small drill bit and began to drill at an angle towards where the IACV mounts. Had to be careful here because you dont want to drill the hole way through. Then I started on the back right IACV hole. Drill through until I met the end of where the previous drill hole stopped. Once finished I drilled out the second IACV hole on the left that goes completely through the wall of the IM. Changed bits to a larger one and redrilled the small holes bigger (but not to big). Im done with all the drilling except for the left bolt hole that holds the IACV. I need to put threads in to bolt it down on that side. Other than that it was quite easy as long as you take your time. Much easier than finding a solution to the y7, y8auto IACV. This way you dont have to worry about that and you can just mount a regular 2wire IACV on back.

No problems running a6 pistons with a y8 head?

[brent]

Id watch out with those a6 pistons and a stage two cam.............with the z6 head, and a6 valve reliefs you may/will bend a valve.

actually i have changed my setup. The compression numbers i was getitng was way wrong. My piston to deck number i were using were the wrong ones. Heres what i ran into:

P29 pistons in an otherwise stock D16Z6 engine even with the stock Z6 metal headgasket doesn't net 14:1 CR, it only nets 12.0 CR.

Trust me.

Here's the compression calculator:

http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/compcalc/compcalc.php

And here's the numbers you punch in:

Bore - 75
Stroke - 90mm
Combustion chamber volume - 34.6
Piston dome - +7.2
Head gasket thickness - .037
Piston-to-deck height - .040

CR comes to 12.03 with a displacement of 1590cc

I bolded the piston-to-deck clearance because too many people use the wrong number here. You need to use the number for the *PISTON!!!!!!* <--------------- going into the block, not the block itself.

Had I punched in the piston-to-deck number for the D16Z6 I would have gotten a way incorrect 13.6:1.

There have been many pump gas D16Z6 engines built with P29 slugs, so that alone should tell you that the 14:1 number is wrong.

The only thing to watch out for with the P29 pistons with a VTEC head are the valve reliefs. they do not latch up the same, but they do clear unless you go crazy with the mill or have some crazy-ass cam with a shitload more lift than stock.

I'd go with the least amount of mill on the head and not deck the block to ensure good piston-valve clearance.

Running the a6 (pm6) pistons with this set up only nets about 9.5:1 compression which wouldnt be worth the time.

If you need the D numbers here they are:

http://www.muller.net/sonny/crx/pistons/crchart.gif%20

Heres the link if the image doesnt work.
http://www.muller.net/sonny/crx/pistons/crchart.gif

(it tells you the piston to deck height you need to know before you make the calculations!)

hope that helps clear some things up

12:1 is 100% totally streetable on 93 octane fuel. Hell I've got a few friends running 12.5:1 on pump gas too. These are B VTEC builds making over 200whp on pump gas that ar also daily driven with zero problems.

So my point is that I think you should run at least the flat top 86-87 pistons or even better, the P29s fropm the 88-89 Integra.

Just gotta stress that you have to use the piston's piston to deck height otherwise your numbers will be WAY off like i did. Pretty common mistake that people make alot. I was lucky enough to get corrected before i took the tiome to put the a6 pistons in. So i recently purchased some p29 pistons and with my setup ill have a compression ratio of
12.03:1

So i hope if anyone is reading this and have a similar set up you go back and check out the numbers again to make sure thats what you want to do. Otherwise milling would help alot if you already have the bottom end together.

A man from honda-tech brought this to my attention and thankfully he did in time.

thanks...now we need to stop quoting quoted posts lol its getting outta control! haha. but also if money isnt a big deal. Brand new pm7, p29 pistons are about 30-40 bucks a piece at hondapartspeople.com and acuraautomotiveparts.net. Or otherwise wait for some used ones for a good price. I orginally pickd up some used ones for 50 bucks with rods, but thensold them thinking i wasnt gonne be able to handle the compression numbers i was getting now thats NOT the case. Oh well picked up another brand new set froma guy for 100 bucks shipped that he wasnt goin to use.

Thanks for the info!!
What will the compression be on my y8 with those pm6/po6 pistons in?
Im too lazy...........

[brent]

3 layer headgasket:
10.33:1 with the pm6 (d16a6) pistons with 3 layer headgasket.

12.61:1 with the p29 (zc) pistons with 3 layer headgasket.

now this will vary depending on the mill of the head if any. i used the calculation with the y8 3 layer gasket for both of those.

2 layer headgasket
10.63:1 with the pm6(d16a6) pistons and 2 layer headgasket.

13.08:1 with the p29 (zc) pistons and 2 layer headgasket.

Also some info that i have recently found out becuase of my situation.

D16a6 (pm6) piston rings will work on the zc (p29, pm7)pistons and vise versa. the dealer part numbers are exactly the same.

[Toddnos]

What about the flat top dx pistons? Thanks for the help BTW!

[brent]

well if you can find out the piston to deck height on those i could find out for ya other wise i dont know what the compression would be with those.

all i could do is guess which im not about to do.

[custom_junky]

This is GREAT!!! As for research goes, this is the best place to go. I found this place searching for my vehicle and stumbled onto this forum, started reading and boom, nothing but the questions I had getting answered, keep it up guys.

So far I only have a d17 block AEM cold air, Excel rims, komho tires, and working towards suspension next. Honda made some pretty crappy shocks and springs for the 01's. after suspension work, going to move onto the intake mani, exhaust mani, and then the internals.

No problems running a6 pistons with a y8 head?

I am running p29, 88-89 teg. AS far as a6 pistons with y8 head, I have never tried it but follow this- I do personally know people who have used p29's w/ a6 head, and i use p29's w/ y8 head, so I can imagine a6's, if stock they work with a6 head, then they should work with y8 head. Unfortunately, it's been a long time since I knew these combonations like I know my body...

[redzcstandardhatch]

wow brent, great info man. whens the motor goin together?

[brent]

when i get the pistons...which willb e this week. I dont relaly know what im doin yet as to puttin a motor together. Seems like its not that bad tho from al the research and what not. The only thing im worried about is the bearings for the rods and main bearings and what not. Other then that i think it should be alright.

let me knwo if u ever wanna give a hand id appreciate it!

Props to you man for at least learning an researching your project. Much respect. Sounds like your going to have a good setup there. Good luck.

[brent]

Yeah i coulda saved alot of money buyin a swap or even buying a built motor. But I wouldnt learn anythign that way. Thats one reason i love honda's so much is just because of the learning factor. I take alot of pride when someone asks a question and I have answers for it. And this whole d series buildup I have learned alot from. So basically as long as it runs good and doenst blow right away then i know i built that motor and i can say i did it. Id have to say that would be a better feeling the buying a b series swap and swapping it in. No challenge in that! ;)

i am in the proces of installing pm7 pistons in a y8 block with a z6 head.
i mill the dome of the pistons .060,that should decrease the cc down to 3.5 ,and taht would give me a 11.3 cr,great for every day driving.when i get the motor running i will go the dyno and fine tune it,i will post the results!!hope to be in the neighborhood of 145-150hp.

after getting the car to run properly i am thinking on buying the skunk im. and the bisi header.and after that i will sent a new z6 head to endyn or alaniz to have it ported and polished, etc... :wink:
