people always ask why.....i say why not. if you've got the mad cash and time to pull it off then i say you're cool. it's not the route that i would take, but who the hell am i. i thinks it's cool to see cars with the mad underdog sized motors running good times. it's not always about the cheapest route for some people. i guess some just want to build a different motor.

 

HI welcome to the internet...

its this






NOT




thanks....

 

SCT motorsports off east nakoma. The place I got my spring put in. They're more into dsm's and fords (the owner had the fastest focus in texas :jerkit: ). I'm never going back to them again, needless to say.

But it is possible to get that kind of HP out of that engine but not without some cash. And a D16Z6 can handle 200HP reliably easy.

z6's and y7's are apples and oranges, but....

I know of a hatchback with a turbocharged DX motor running 12's. It has a lot of cash into the block and head though.

I still think you'd be better off with a y8 or a z6.

A shop in SA doing that kind of work though? None that I know of could do it. My cousin went to every shop in SA to see if they could install his cybernations Turbo Kit on his RSX and all of them declined to do it. He wanted someone else to do it to save time since it's his daily driver. We did it in two weeks working after work. It was relatively easy. I hate the shops here that is why I do everything myself except block work. But i know a guy that is a genious at building honda blocks but he does'nt own a shop so it takes him time to do the work.

The shop I was thinking about taking my swap to whenever the time comes is Team Extream on Naco just south of the Wurzbach parkway. SCT was my other choice, but after this, I dunno about them anymore. That comment they made about LX's having vtec was enought to make me wonder.... But then again, this guy who told me about putting $5000 into his y7 is a fucking moron, and has been known to lie in the past.

Either way, someone is stupid.

cost effectiveness is the key here. This kid's not rich. In fact, I'm better off than he is.

he doesn't have either. And he's not cool, too.

 

see thats where im at.. i want a swap.. who the hell doesn't.. but its cost for me and time per... i can buy parts for this motor.. build it up slowly over time still be driving it every day and spray and be reasonably fast... without the down time and ALL AT ONCE cost of a swap.

 

but putting $5000 into a y7 auto?!?

maybe I'm just annoyed by it because its the same powertrain as mine, but I think he's a fucking idiot.

all at once, or a little at a time, it still = $5000

 

seems like alot for a single cam non-vtec but can prolly be done w/ boost.

my goal is 200hp to the wheels N/A, its a while off but i know it can be done with enough money

 

you never mentioned it was an auto. the stock auto tranny from honda should never be handling more than 50hp over factory hp. anyhting over that is usually recommended to get a built tranny or swap to a 5 speed.

also,
im getting sick and tired of people saying "just swap it".
each to his own.

 

y7's are good for one thing. Fuel economy.

 

Okay you tards, the Y7 is just like the Y8 except for the intake manfiold and VTEC head. Other than that, they're probably the same damn motor. I have approx 200whp on my car running 8psi of boost with the Greddy kit, FMIC, and exhaust. Now that I have fuel mods, there's no telling what I can lay down on the dyno. I've been running this setup for almost 2 years now with no problems.

I also know a guy who pushed 302whp and 256ft/lbs with a D16Y8 and stock internals. He just used an aftermarket head gasket. These motors are stronger than everyone thinks, so give the "do a swap" routine a break. You can spend $4k on a swap and I'll spend $2k on a turbo kit and own your ass.

 

no the y5 is for fuel economy...lol
