1995 d15b7 block:
jdm sohc vtec pistons and ls rods
hot tanked
block gaurd
1998 d16y8 head:
skunk 2 valves, springs, and retainers
skunk 2 stage 1 camshaft
3 angle valve job
head shaved .010
port and polish
1995 civic si tranny:
obx lsd
6 puck unsprung clutch with a 2step
other modifications:
dc 4-2-1 headers
dc sport shortram intake
full custom 2.5" exhaust to an apexi muffler
aem adjustable cam gear
true time aftermarket pulley kit
msd blaster coil
zex nitrous wet kit with nx 50 shot
zex spark plugs
apex-i vafc2
ebay short shifter
and other things im forgetting.
the car was quick ass hell. i ran a 13.753@103mph. with more seat time i could have done alot better i think. i could only imagine what it would have run if it was in a hatch? either way, if your serious about getting any power out of this than here is my advice. you wont see the performance you want unless you go the whole nine yards. you need to boost up the compression in the car so that means a nice set of forged pistons and rods and then worry about cam and other bolt ons. personally ive had this set up b4 and to tell you the truth, you can make more power out of having the complete d16z6 and it will save you alot of money. just my oppinion tho. one thing is for sure, nitrous would be great but realize that the dseries blocks are not that strong. gl with the build

good info. you answered a few questions, but ive got some more.
where did you get your block hot tanked? how much? is it better than a spray cabinet?
how did the obx lsd work?
i have an apexi can, did it sound good?
is the apex-i vafc2 hard to figure out and work? did it make a differnence?
what ecu were you running? i have an 88 ef seadn. like i said, ive got a b2 block and y8 head. i have a turbo chipped pm5.

i have a stock(internally) d16y7 in my ek hatch w/ header,intake,stock exhaust piping,y8 trans,11lb flywheel,adjustable fpr,255 fuel pump,and 75 shot dry went 15.07 @91mph with my clutch slipping literally all the way down the track w/ me dipping in and out of the throttle trying to get it to grab so..... in a lighter car and a stronger clutch i would love to see how it would have done. also that was a 2.1 60ft with cheap tires @23 psi.
if i had to say i would go a6 block z6 head (nice combo) a6 i have heard hold nitrous really well. also the y7 and y8 blocks are almost identical y7 has a 9.3:1 comp when y8 has a 9.6:1 comp i believe due to the head so g/l with build just my 2cents if you have anyquestions feel free to pm me i can find just about anything out for you. and as far a compression test if you have a compressor i would just buy the compression kit from discount and do it yourself not to mention later on too..
