D16y1 or D16y8 which is better? are they the same?

[will13]

they both have better gearbox than the other D series as well

jaces pretty much quoted my thoughts on the whole thing

personally i would go for y1 - the intake manifold and head design is better and it is an easier platform to work with

i would jump onto d-series.org and start reading man =)

What makes you say that the y1 and y8 have better accompanying boxes? I ran a D15 box on my D16 for quite a while and the shorter ratio's made it a much 'quicker' car

Hmm Im getting heaps and heaps of mixed reviews fro
Alota peeps...I am currently leaning towards a b18c2 and. B16a box just coz there cheaper then type r setup.. Trying to work out a budget where I can have a good setup and have money for a respray..it's not always bout speed...like I said these little engines are fun to redline lol..love the vtec sound..just wouldn't mind a lil more torque..besides whats speed now days when there coppers and strikeforce taipan on your ass..I wouldn't mind tracking my eg in the future once my car is completed

I have a B16 box on my B18c2 - very good combination
