I am gonna be doing some work on my D16y7 in the next week or so.

And wanted to know how this sounds.

Stock motor d16y7

Y8 Intake Mani
-OBX TB spacer (Came w/ Y8 manifold... )

Custom Short shifter
AEM dry flow short ram intake
No name 4-2-1 Header
2in crush bent piping
Magnaflow cat
Cherry bomb muffler/resonator
OBX twin loop muffler
New parts (not counting other parts, radiator, belts, mounts..)
-NAPA timing belt
-OEM water pump
-NAPA headgasket
-NAPA valvestem seals
-Auto Zone oil pan seal
-OEM valve cover seal
-P29 Nippon High compresson pistons
-NPR chrome rings
-Wrist pins
-ACL Rod bearings


How does that sound? Something simple, low in cost, sould be a small but noticable improvement, the high comp. pistons wont hurt the motor will they?

It is said to raise it to 11.4-12.5 or something like that, depening on motor.

Thanks.

P.S. no BS comments please, like sell the car. And I'm not swaping the motor, thank you for checking this out. Let me know what ya'll think.

 

Oh yea I forgot to mention possble future plans.

Y8 tranny, or something better then the Y7 tranny
Stage one street clutch, ACT or something
Stage one Camshaft (if i can find one for a y7...)
Upgrade fuel rail, and injectors, not sure to what..?
The chip and tune the ecu

again something simple, and fun, and not to costly...

Thanks

 

sounds like it will be a pretty good project oh and sell the car...... to me


jk jk

 

lol, thanks

im trying to stay to the basic's and stuff i can understand. I dont wana drive a crazy boosted fully built monster, that i cant control, or explain to someone, lol anyone with money can do w/e they want, im using my own money, my knowledge from books at barnes and noble, D-series.org, and well here as well, and some help of another local TR member, at the expense o0f my walet to help me in the job. Or me help him lol

 

anyone know if the P29's are harmfull on this set up?

 

sounds fine to me,i dont know about the chrome rings though,has anyone else heard bad things about them?while your doing the clutch in the future a lightweight flywheel wouldnt hurt,mybe a underdrive pully or so?

 

for the money your going to spend, just put a simple turbo set up on and call it a day

As for camshafts... delta cam has a regrind for a y7, or check out bisimoto i have heard good stuff about him, and he also has a y7 cam

 

sounds pretty straight to me, i think most of us here started out doing the same things your doing right now. eventually you'll probly want to "upgrade" to either a stronger motor, a turbo, or a strong N/A build.

but what you have listed sounds perfect for a daily driven honda.

 

If your lookin for different injectors you can run stock LS injectors...and like stated before, while doing the tranny swap do the flywheel and an underdrive pulley. The tranny should make for a fun car.

 

awsome!

and as for turbo, thats a maybe, but to me, i just like the sound of a N/A engine, but IDK! lol time will tell.

What tranny do you guys recommened? z6? if i said that right, or the y8, something like that no?
