I own a y7. I've done research on the engine. It is i n fact weaker than the y8. they are NOT the same motor. Don't talk about things you don't know.
if you weren't a retarded dumbass who didn't read threads through before you posted, then you would have read that:
1) y7s and y8s are not the same
2) he is not using boost
3) he has an auto matched with it
next time you post, post something relivant and intelligent.
Here's something relative AND intellegent, Mr. Smart-Ass. Check these engine specs out and tell me what the BIG DIFFERENCE is.
ENGINE HP SIZE DECK BORE STRK ROD C-H PIN H-D BEW BEB R/S VA VS D-S V-N MODEL
D16Y8 127 1590 8.347 2.953 3.543 5.394 1.154 19 32.8 .892 48 1.52 30/26 S-V 96-99 CIVIC
D16Y7 106 1590 8.347 2.953 3.543 5.394 1.181 19 34.6 .892 48 1.52 30/26 S-N 96-99 VARIOUS
ENGINE = engine code
HP = factory horsepower rating
SIZE = engine size in c.c. cubic centimeters
BOR = standard engine bore in inches
STRK = engine stroke in inches
ROD = engine rod length center to center in inches
C-H = compression height of piston in inches
PIN = wrist pin outside diameter in millimeters
H-D = cylinder head volume in c.c. cubic centimeters
BEW = connecting rod big end width in inches
BEB = connecting rod big end housing bore diameter
D = double overhead cam
S = single overhead cam
N = non v-tec
V = v-tec 1 millimeter = .03937 inches
DECK= deck height in inches
R/S= rod to stroke ratio
VA= valve angles in degrees
VS= valve sizes intake/exhaust diameter in millimeters
I don't see a really big difference, so why don't you break it down for me?
