Planned mods for D16y4

[VTECnique]

i know the mods wont make it much faster, but a little faster than stock, stock form i can keep up with commo's, falcons, etc. I just want something simple thatll scare a few of the v6 boys...

hey dude
i'm pretty sure the b16a throttle body will not work on the d16y4... the motor itself is the black sheep of the honda world... its not exactly an obd2 vehicle, it runs a totally different ecu to the conventional obd1 and obd2 hondas.

[VTECnique]

i believe there are 2 versions to the OBD2, OBD2a & OBD2B, im certain there are conversion harnesses you can get that are OBD2a/b - OBD1....

[[ricer]]

i ran a custom conversion harness and a D16y8 dizzy, intake manifold, throttle body and hondata ecu...
it wasn't a very a cheap exercise at the time lol

fark the y4 and get a y8.

A D series we know is aiming for 100kw atw with stock cams thats with d16y8.

hope you can get this build done. it was so anti-climax when muhan stopped posting about his d-series build. would love to see the end result for the build as im thinking of heading down the d-series n/a route coz im a povo. i know it may cost alot in the end but at least i can spend a bit at a time instead of forking out 4.5 k plus in one go.

My point exactly

Found the conversion harness @ Edge Automotive. But Ill need to source an OBD1 Dizzy & plug, not a problem though. I knew i would encounter bumps along the road.

I would like to stay non-vtec, even though i have never driven a vtec equipped car before. I can get a nice rebuilt Y8 head for a very good price, but again, i would much rather work with what im familiar with & what i currently have.

are you doin this because your planning to run an OBD1 computer with hondata or crome or just so you can have a b16a throttle body on ur y4?

just do as fatboyz said and find a y8 motor with loom and everything! or for just the tuneability.. just keep everything you have and just wire up a greddy emanage?
so much less stuffing around

im not trying to put you off
im just saying this cause 18months ago i went thru it all and it was a total waste of money doing anything to the Y4 motor

nar he already knows that, but wants to do it anyways. I bet it's all talk anyways, like the rest of them. but feel free to prove me wrong, i can't wait to see the results.

Thanks for the contructive criticism, comments like that just make people want to do it even more!

I want to convert to OBD1 to run a chipped OBD1 ecu, probably crome

Again ricer, i know in your opinion, its a waste of money, to me it isnt, most parts for the D series you can find anywhere because most people have done an engine conversion.

I know the results will be minimal, im basically rebuilding the head with a cam, and allowing more air to flow through with bigger IM & TB. Its the fact that i dont have to fork out alot of money in one hit that makes this build more friendlier for me.

Sounds interesting.

I have a friend that works at tighe cams so I know that they do quality work and they know their shit.

So the car is going to be a daily driver yes?

[VTECnique]

yeah it is going to be a DD, yeah tighe seems to be the only company in oz that has profiles for a non-vtec soh d16...
