i was more thinking the heads as my car is about to hit 230 thou kms im considering a reco of the head with a more aggressive cam and a dyno tune, but i figured if there was a better head to use i would start with thatQuote:

Y1 an Y8, in terms of power, only like 3hp difference, its not even noticeable... on different note, my mates eg5 doesnt pull as hard as my y8, guess its prbs due to age an kms, but both are pretty much same on paper, torque and power... im not sure what the difference b/w the two motors, but im assuming its the cylinder head design that makes the differnace....
Ps: i done a 0-100 run best run, 8.5 second :( do want a turbo kit, but no money, or get turbo car, :P
thanks guys i was just wondering thats all - plus a turbo setup wouldn't be all that costly would it?
depends if you cheap out on it, lol, different ways to approach it, A) turbo kit like greddy, peaks etc $8000-6000, B) Build your own kit $6000-$2000 C) ebay kits $1000 and also factor in tuning, add maybe another 1k
Rough estimates btw
Turbo is pretty much the only way to make power out of your D. Just have some fun and do cheap I/H/E. Ebay header, custom mild-steel mandrel-bent 2" cat-back with a $50 Super Cheap Auto S/S muffler lol. Best fun you'll get out of your D is coilovers though IMO.
Although recently I was impressed with the performance of my D16Y1 sedan. I dragged my mate who was driving his B16A CRX (which we know is healthy from dyno/compression) and I also had a passenger (he didn't) - he was 1 car length ahead of me by the time we reached 100KM/hour so I'm happy with that TBH. Maybe he was just shifting crap that night I dunno.
well im just doing my extractors next maybe a stage 1.5cam and a adj cam gear and thats as far as i'll go if i blow the engine it will be a b conversion so im not fussed the car handles alright i need to get rear swaybar and the braces in and that will surfice
