Just noticed in your info to the left what you say your car is, an EG5 is actually an SI model not a VTI

you cant be serious?

its a 1995 EG5 VTi 5 Speed besides having a SOHC Vtec, A VTi Badge and being registered as such i dont know how much more info i can give you...

Ha thanks TAI in before me

It's all good mate

well i have a EG5 D16Y1 if i put a newer head on top (besides being newer and of course in better condition) would there be any power gains?
maybe even use a d17 one would that fit?

Have you seen the specs from a d17? I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is different to your regular D16 block. The internals might be interchangeable, but like i said, have you seen the specs? They're pretty abysmal. Considering you can get more power from what you already have.

I thought the d16y1 was one of the most powerful D's made, if there was one particular SOHC D with a slightly more aggressive camshaft the difference in power would be so negligible you wouldn't be able to notice the difference. Go aftermarket for sure.

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 that

[~Sp33~]

Neh, just stick with yours, and do a reco.

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

[hitoriko]

thanks guys i was just wondering thats all - plus a turbo setup wouldn't be all that costly would it?

[mugen_ctr]

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

[dougie_504]

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
