the d16y8 is a great sohc engine i would say the best honda has made but yes it is nothing much but a single overhead cam so what do u do to make power? swap it if u want to be like everyone else including myself but i gave seriouse thought to building the d16 i think it would be cool. so anyway the only way to make power on these is turbo but that engine is known for blowing on anything more than like 7 pounds of boost. but thier is good news u resleeve the block with basically any ductile iron sleeve which can be done by any machine shop or if ur lucky like me be friends with the owner of one and get all ur work done for free and that block will hold more boost then u should ever really want if planning on keeping it a daily driver. remember replace internals atleast the pistons in the bottom end but everything in the top end ull have no problems happy driving if u have any more questions get back to me. sorry for the length
