d16y4 right?

No,U cant,I bought a skunk2 IM and b16 TB and was gonna do it but learnt I couldn't.

This explains it best:

you cant make a 2 wire iacv work on a 3 wire ecu.
3 wire iacv works completely different to 2 wire unfortunately.

BTW automatic D16y8's have the iacv on the throttle body aswell not on the back of the manifold.

I wouldn't bother with a ebay 'custom manifold' either,more than likely it flows crap.

The best U can do is bore the stock TB out to 60mm,from 56mm and port match the IM + bored out,but in saying that,will it work? Unless it's tested on a flow bench,U wont know.

U can get the TB bored out to 60mm for $195,U can port match the IM yourself with a dremel easily because it does not need to be perfect just larger than 60mm,but would U get gains from it???

Nothing is impossible,I mean Dyno Dave got ricer's d16y4 running on Hondata!!!!

Anything is possible.

Just need the help.

Greddy e-manage will be a hell of a lot simplier though.

Great gains can be had with an aftermarket IM and TB,sucks we cant use it.

Here's an example of a ebay d-series IM:



If U compare Honda's design to this,this is absolutely crap.Looks all BIG and SHINY though!!!

I cannot see air 'flowing' though this design and I feel it's a very poor design.U would be better off spending the $200 on boring out the y4 IM.

Yonas can get all the port work done.Bear in mind,there's port work and there's port work,so feel it out first if U go that route.

ive decided against the manifold. dont like the reported gains versus the price of them.
ill just wait for my emange to arrive and go from there

+ a cam

There are great gains to be had with a bigger IM + TB.

so no turbo kits are good for 2k?

[EK1.6LCIV]

I wouldn't say that, my bud OEK40 on bc and here has just that and it gets impressive numbers, everything was bought from china kits on ebay in his car

[beeza]

WOW,a K40!

[EK1.6LCIV]

lol nah no k40, biggest Ive seen is Tim's 2.15L but have heard of 2.6L kits

yea Sherwin's lil ek1 sedan with the ebay kit is bullet proof, built is years ago running over 10psi daily driven and raced every blue moon

If you're getting a $2g turbo kit from ebay it's like flipping a coin basically. It might be a decent turbo where you can just buy a decent dump pipe and stuff and just use what seems decent but you won't make good power with reliability as you would with a solid brand.

But that said, sometimes you get lucky and make some nice cheap power with cheap kits

wow that is an impressive package. quality is usually 50/50 though. could go either way.

honestly im considering going turbo but id personally buy a cheap 2nd hand quality turbo and couple it with cheap ebay parts such as a cast manifold ive seen for about 150 plus a cheap intercooler and piping package to keep costs down. at least that way the vital components will be good quality
