Stock injectors are good up to 400hp also!!

Thats a myth bro

There only good for about 120kw or 150HP

Stockie's are only 240CC

from what i have read around the stock rods are good for 220hp and thats there limit... they will fail after that, so unless your making upwards and over 200hp then the stock rods should be fine to run a boost level of 10psi

in the end the D16 bottom ends are pretty cheap so if you blow it you should be able to find another one pretty easy

My rods failed at 160kw or 200HP

Oh! no way.

You can get a big more out of them with a FMU but that's dodgy IMO

Quick question,

Everywhere i am lookin on the net people are sellin parts for D16Y7 is there any fundamental difference between The Y7 & Y4 i know they are both SOCH non vtec.
Just a little concerned as i don't wanna buy stuff and have it not fit.

Really well the injectors are bigger than i thought they were thats still alright considering what other manufactures put in there non turbo cars.

well i was pretty close then but there abouts of 200hp then = broke

>is there any fundamental difference between The Y7 & Y4

Y7 is US spec. Not likely to be found in Aus at all.

Differences are in the intake and exhaust manifold.

Y4 is Aus spec and gets the Y8 intake and exhaust manifold.

Y4 gets a bastard, Oz only ecu, which complicates ODB conversion if you are going to reprogram the fuel maps.

Y7 75KW
Y4 88kW
Y8 96KW

The Y4 doesn't scrub up so bad compared to the fancier SOHC vtec engine.

> i don't wanna buy stuff and have it not fit.

When working and learning on a vehicle you inevitably end up with enough parts for 1 and a half cars.
And yet there's always something missing.

Don't try the pioneering approach. There's enough info here and elsewhere on what other have done. Copy it.

i get the impression the y8 is just y4+vtec. is this true?

Hi Guys,

Just a bit of an update I have started buying bits and pieces. I have just ordered a set of eagle H-Beam Rods and Nippon Racing low compression pistons. I went with the 75.5mm set cause i was gonna give it a rebore anyway. as for ECU i'm gonna put in an Microtech LT10S.
I have decided i'm going to bolt on a GT2860RS as they are good for up to 350HP and i have decided i only want a maximum off 300hp.

Has anyone used an M-Factory LSD?

Don't go with the Microtech LT10S

The GT2860RS good but what spec one are you going to run?

Would be better buying a GT2871R unless you get the GT2860RS hell cheap

Yup I've got the M-Factory LSD and she feels great but only on NA right now....

Turbo will be on tomorrow though so I let you know tomorrow night hahah

Make sure you start reading up on Honda PCV systems under boost!!

Also make sure you lessen to Nick (nd55) as he's slowly building this type of setup and researched a lot so far

[RobboEK]

Don't go with the Microtech LT10S

Is there any reason why i shouldn't go with the Microtech?

My mate is running one in his TX3 and it seems to be good.
