but what could you do to the internals? The only aftermarket for the y7 is intakes and exhausts. They don't even make headers for the damn thing, but you could always throw an ex header/catback. But the catback would have to be custom, since its a hatchback.
with the money spent on rods, pistons, cams, etc. he could just get a y8 and get the same amount of power with stock internals and a bit of boost/juice. How much shot can the ex engines handle stock, anyways?
I told the dumbass he would be better off with a new engine, but whatever. Actually, the more I think of it, I just wasted a thread and everyones time, since its probably never going to happen.

With $5000? Buy a y8 intake manifold, head and transmission for say... $100. Strap them on, throw in some rods and high comp pistons. Hytech header and exhaust, custom 3" aluminum intake. GSR throttle body, portmatch manifold. Cams, springs, retainers.
Add engine management, stir, and serve warm.

what I still don't understand is why you would spend that kind of money on a Y7 in the first place?? If you shopped around enough and did the work yourself, you could get a B series and boost it for less than that...and that would be putting out a hell of a lot more power than that Y7 would be.

I read in a magazine about a place that does extensive engine work. It was a well known reputable company, but I forgot the name.
The said you can get like 180hp...or was it more...out of a D16Z6 without doing any sort of nitrous or forced induction. For race applications, they bored it out to 2.0l, but for street 1.8l was max. They did a lot of work to this engine to be able to produce and handle this kind of power. It was in an issue of SCC a looooong time ago.
There's nothing wrong with building up a SOHC. Not everyone wants to swap.
