    Hey guys, a couple things I can’t seem to find on previous forums: 1. I have a d16y8 in a 93 del sol, so the rpm sensor in the dizzy is non existent. I know the s300 can read rpm, so what can I do in terms of wiring the tach straight to the ecu? Am I right in thinking that a21 would work? 2...

    Hi, What is the max HP I can achieve with a turbo ed d16y8, but keeping stock internals? What would cost more: to do a complete performance rebuild on a D16y8 and Turbo or a swap to a B16 or B18 with a Turbo. (The majority would be done by me except the parts I would need to send to a shop)...

    I purchased a 97 del Sol S with M/T last year. It had a cracked exhaust header (right at the T on top of the cat) and since the car is 24 years old, that means I am no longer subject to emissions testing here in TX. I replaced the header with a new 4-2-1 header. While I have the car in pieces...

    So here's the story, I bought a 1997 Honda Civic EX Sedan with a D16Y8 Fully built. I don't think the build list matters but if you are curious just ask.
