d16y7 = 200 hp?!?
just curious about this.
I have a friend with a 98 dx, and he was saying he was at a speed shop and they told him he could get 200hp out of a y7 engine. I told him they're blowing smoke up his ass, but who knows? Am I wrong, or are they?
I think the methods used would be NOS. I asked if it was FI, and he said no. I didn't think there would be any other way to do this, and besides, the block can't handle FI, so I sure doubt it could handle NOS, or at least something substancial to improve his hp times two.

cause y7's are weaker engines. :dunno:
everyone told me FI on my lx engine wouldn't be a good idea. And since the lx's and dx's run the same drivetrain.....

I think it'd be hard to squeeze 200hp outta a DX or LX motor. THat's why I dropped in the B18C1 $$$$
