Hey guys I just bought a 97 civic DX 5 spd, I figured that’s the perfect platform to start with. I has a d16, non vtec, and a blown head. Thinking about going built y8 head, harness and ecu. I’ve seen people say the non vtec is better for boost because it’s less crazy but that doesn’t matter to...

Need the recipe for how to build for 400+hp. Currently have a stock d16y8 the goal like I said is to boost it and have 400+hp, TO THE WHEELS not to the crank. That bein said I don’t wanna just toss a big ole wing wang spoolie thang on and blow my shit. What would be the best way to build for...

I’ve never built a D series and I’m starting a turbo build for my 94’ dx. It has the 1.5 non vtec. I want to boost it w vitara no-notch h-beams and swap in a vtec head ( w the proper high fuel map ecu ofc) but im havin trouble finding a trustworthy turbo kit and don’t know which vtec head will...

i’ve heard that the jdm d15b is better for boost because of better r/s ratio. i’ve done some research on r/s ratios but i don’t quite understand it. would there be any advantages to building a d15b7 minime with vitaras for boost over a d16a6 vitara mini me, because of the rod ratio, and would...

I've got a stockblock y8 on about 7psi. Had it tuned on stock injectors and ran great for a while. One day I was driving and idle/part throttle pegged rich, like 10:1. Fried the wideband it was so rich. With a new wideband I decided to tune out the low load richness and got it ballparked, and...

Hey guys, I've been doing some digging and I'd like to pick the brains of people more knowledgeable than myself about real world numbers. My build will be running the following: Complete D16Z6 CP 9:1 compression forged pistons 75.5mm Eagle rods ARP head studs ACL bearings (I think it was?)...

Hey there guys I'm brand new here and glad that I am! Little summary of the project I'm taking on. I bought a $300 dollar 88 Civic hatch DX and had the most fun of my life using it as an offroad go cart pretty much out at some land my family owns. After 2 months of jumping, hooning, and banging...

I am about to take my car to the dyno (about 90 miles away), and I want to make sure I have everything correct for it to be tuned. What should I check before taking it? Right now it only has a basemap, negative boost, and running a little rich. Should I check for boost leaks or vacuum leaks...

I just wired in my dsm 450cc injectors into my Y8 and they will not spray when the fuel pump primes. I am running a resistor box and dsm injector clips. I know that when you turn the key on the injectors should spray a tiny bit of fuel but they dont. If anyone has done this on a y8 and could...

Has anyone ever seen a setup involving the following: Y8 head delta 272-2 supertech springs/retainers z6/y7/y8 sleeved block with wiseco 10:1 flat top pistons/eagle rods and boost on e85. How would one go about finding the power this setup could make? Obviously other than when it blows..

How many miles does your Vitara build have, what size turbo, hp/torque numbers, fuel, and amount of boost you were running? What oil and weight? Remember as a daily driver will help answer my question. I am seeking the answer to find the average mileage a GOOD tuned boosted Vitara setup has...
