Tommy's d16y8 500whp+ build
Project Car / only car :/
chassis: 96 civic ex
![]()
engine: d16y8
![]()
(i'll be deleting the ps, evap system, cc, and ac)
My goal is to have a 500whp dd running around 25+lbs of boost with water/meth injection. I plan to complete the build and break the engine in n/a since I will not have the money for a good tune right away.
the list
Block:
Head:
Electronics:
auto-manual conversion:
suspension:

while waiting for the block and other parts I've been working on my wire tuck and other miscellaneous stuff.
In order to conceal the harness I decided to run most of it under the dash and drill a hole in the firewall. This is how I dealt with honda's circular harness design that used to run and connect in the engine bay..
stock harness:
a little rearranging:
new general shape (the left half, including those moved connectors, will now be under the dash):
the right half will stick through the new hole in the firewall and 'sneak' up from under the engine
here is a close up of the part of the harness that runs through the firewall now. as you can see it got considerably skinnier once I removed the automatic plugs and wires. under it is a stock automatic harness that i pulled off another car.
rerouted the driver's side harness and extra wiring:
where they now run through the fender:

everything became a little easier with the air boxes out of the way:

found a nice, heavy, air-blocking ac contraption in front of the blower, which will no longer be needed.

I can't even imagine how much better my heater will blow with that out of the way.
also got a couple goodies:
