D16y1 or D16y8 which is better? are they the same?

lol by all means BuiEG! if you want to do an engine conversion then you can!

Just saying as a noob myself, dont let people convince you to do things you dont want to do :)

Just stick whatever your heart is telling you but hey you seem like your into your speed .. and you like turbo so torque .. hmm built b16 head with a b20 block ;)

haha my mate who im friends on here .. but has a new account .. ANYWAY has a b20 eg civic .. and my God .. it hammers .. like holding on to dear freaking life .. maybe because he had the whole ITB set up too. he takes on stock rexys and stock turbo cars easily.

But again .. its all going to cost you MONEY. D B K H V8 whatevz its going to cost dosh :)

no worries man, people help me so why cant I? :)

Hahaha TheSaint knows shi* so talk to him TRUST ME :)

To be honest man, u b lucky to even see 80kw atw (100kw at flywheel) with mods lol.... A turbo D16, using my mates one as example, made close to 100kw atw (so it be closer to 110-120kw at flywheel), only thing letting it down is the stock injectors, small cooler, stock exhaust, low boost, an thats it, other wise, he b hitting closer to 120kw easy, an with a b16, u b lucky to even hit that power with cams, headers an exhaust

Im running a Y8, with headers, cat back, custom cai airbox, an it does pull alot better topend, but over all, its still a simple shopping cart engine, u can fang all day long with out getting a speeding ticket :D

Prbs shouldnt compare cars on the street, but compare them on the track ;)

Let the lap times tell the story, not the ppl :D

Oh of course!

just giving him a rough estimate im not bragging, sorry if it seemed that way :)

but yeah sounds like a good idea!

meh all motor d-series aren't the best platiform for speed but you can really reach the limits of it like what he said, without getting a speeding ticket!

haha i love accelerating to the speed limit :)

people with fast cars can never use the full potential of their car on the streets, unless they are over the speed limit by heaps!

it is? lol, well i never really looked at that way, to me, D-series is cheap motor, that can take a beating, but not for performance but more so for everyday use :)

im thinking about wacking on a jrsc to my d16 and its alrady turbo. mayb im fukd:angel:

Id love to put a JRSC! maybe when i learn more about my engine since im doing a mild N/A build and obviously when i have funds :)

i would prefer a JRSC D16y1/D16z6 or JRSC D16y8 over a B16a any day of the week =)

The problem with supercharger on a little D-16, is that it lacks the torque to pull the supercharger..... so much more to a supercharger than simpling slapping it on, put a belt on it and away u go lol

Bang for buck = Turbo
Unique = JRSC kit

From what i hear on d-series, there not the best supercharger kits around, but for the money, its also the cheapest.... And it also doesnt make the most power compared to turbo kit, if i recall, one guy only pulled off 200hp with the JRSC kit

I love the D-series. Such a darkhorse engine, much maligned. But you can have a lot of cheap fun with it, and when there's a will there's a way. The US guys go crazy with them in a way that Aussies never have.

Cam gear:

I was quoted $88 delivered for this in December. Might be less now with the dollar strength. Have heard great things about X3E Motorsports.
