ECU for D16Y4

[CRXer]

i dont have a prob with AK's tuning,its just their outrageous claims made in their advertising intended to lure poor n00bs into buying their products,thinking they r gonna tune some magically huge power figure out of a bolt-on motor that honda couldnt find to begin with(given even safety factors/reliability included).

my tuner is me atm,till i can afford to throw it back on the dyno at TODA.

i reiterate,tuning is not best bang for buck,u r the one who said it & thats the only reason i threw the equations/B swap back at u,im not refering to the OP,just u............u referred to me,so i referred back to u.............it would be ill-mannered of me just to ignore u wouldnt it?

haha okay then your point is noted good sir, and dont worry im not under any illusions as to what can and cant be achieved from tuning

and when i say bang for buck im talking about your regular i/h/e modifications that your average kid with a car does, obviously there's more effective ways to gain power as you said

thanks vtecnique. if only everybody on this forum was as useful as you
rbk 212 if u could hook me up with ur mate daniel from springy motors would be great. and thanks for your input with that emanage suggestion.
crxer wtf , enough with the engine swap. its not going to happen. this thread is called ECU FOR D16Y4! not b16 swap. if i wanted a f***ing new motor i would have asked. learn to read and stop posting useless crap in my thread and stay on topic. if i had 4-5k for an engine swap i would sell my car and put that money on top of it and buy something better like an integra or prelude vtir. ill be driving this car for the rest of my p plater life and as i already mentioned before if u bothered to read it, im happy with car and its current motor. i want to get it tuned and am asking about the different ecu options i have. i couldnt care less whether u think tuning a d is worth it or not. why is it that people on ozhonda cant respond to a question about a d series without suggesting an engine swap. start posting constructively instead of posting sh** about totally irrelevant topics!!!

people keep referring to me so i just keep answering,like in this case.....

maybe it is u who needs the literacy test,i even stated that i was not referring to u,but just answering rbk.

so....simple......stop talking to me,i will stop answering...............

good. stop posting irrelevant crap here. if u wanna talk to rbk do it in ur own thread. do us all a favour and delete ur posts, unsubscribe from this thread so that we can back to business

im sure ull notice a difference with a proper tuned Y4. nothing major, but knowing your getting the most out of what you have is all that counts...

[saikou27]

if you can find a nice priced emanage, go for it mate. here's a few mods i can suggest, to compliment the emanage. & yes, i have done my research on a nice little d16.

bored throttle body with port matched intake manifold
bisimoto stage 1 cam (cause then you wont have to upgrade valvetrain)
if you wanna do some bottom end work, there's oem honda pistons that raise compression, & also wont cost you an arm & a leg.

there just a few things that can help make the y4 a little more responsive. hope it helps in your quest my friend...

yeah i was thinking maybe later down the track if i intend to keep the car longer i would do some of the stuff mentioned. i was just wondering what exactly port matching is and how it is carried out. is it possible for me do do it myslelf with the proper equipment?

[lookingforboost]

you port the inlet on the intake where the larger throttle body is and you can do the same thing to the inlet runers on the intake to the head good gains you can do it your self but i wouldnt recommend it as if you bugger it up the whole thing can go backwards.

and you cant ask a D question without getting the swap to a B lol

[saikou27]

so would a bigger tb still be ok? without the port matching

[VTECnique]

in order for the bigger tb to take effect, you have to at least port match the intake manifold, at the throttle body entrance, meaning where the throttle body mounts to the intake manifold. here's some notes here http://www.knology.net/~jediklc/pistonnotes.htm even some good info about building a nice near bulletproof bottom end.

you could also quite possibly port match the intake runners, however i wouldnt as you do really have a guide to tell you how much material to remove.

[saikou27]

actually id been considering raising compression slightly. not too worried about the tb/im.
eventually depending on the price a stage 1 cam could be in the works
hey vtecnique what exactly are the oem pistons that raise compression. are they available in aus and do u know how much they are?

[VTECnique]

i believe the d16a8 is similar to a DOHC ZC, they raise compression quite a bit, unsure how much though. the stage 1 cam sounds great, just wait a lil longer til the exchange rate comes down.

to be honest, you'd be better off buying the pistons overseas. YCP pistons are very famous amongst most honda builders. Ive heard Topline do a few pistons, but again unsure where to get them & what part #s.

could shave the head a little to help bump compression aswell as fitting a 2-layer OEM headgasket will also help. they would compliment the stage 1 cam quite well i would imagine. the possibilities are endless for the d-series.
