Hey guys, Very interested in building a D!
I currently have a stock D16Y4 in my EK. Been reading through this thread and the best head to go would be a D16Y1? as it has the most after market support and what not!?
I was also wondering would the D16Y1 head bolt straight on to the D16Y4 Block?
Pretty noob, sorry about all the questions LOL!
you dont want a d16y1 motor in your car as it is from an eg and would be impossible to register. instead of doing just the head go find a d16y8 (sohc vtec d series for the ek civic) and just install the whole engine alot cheaper than changing just heads as you can find them for less then 500bucks with transmission,ecu, wiring etc
dont just get a head dude switch the whole motor over so much easier and cheaper. very good aftermarket support dont expect much power for cheap if you go n/a cheapest route with the d series is to turbo them.
Sorry, was just curious if the head bolted onto the D16Y4 bottom. Yeah i know it's not gonna make crazy power, just want to be different and build a D LOL. Was originally gonna go B18, but rather not spend that much!
yeah the d16y8 will bolt to the head but imo its really not worth all the extra cost to take the head off and put a new one on unless u are going for a full build. put the d16y8 motor in i/h/e and call it a day anything more its better to go b series
I wouldn't recommend building the D if you aren't mechanically experienced. Takes a lot of modification to build a 'monster'. You're looking at a complete rebuild with new pistons and a full head upgrade (cams, valvetrain, port work etc) plus ecu and tuning. Need huge compression.
Best bet IMO would be to get yourself a B16A or B18C.
