Here's from my f'ed motor @ SS when they attempted to tune my car. Before I got here I knew something was wrong, just had no clue my compression was shot. Rings were bad (still are) so we'll see once I re-ring the motor.

As you can see it made a decent amount of tq for a D series motor. Although there's alot of headwork done. I would really like to see this head's full potential.

There was alot of detonation, even at this nice fuel level. Collin told me it was because the SAFC was pulled back so much (-40) that the ECU advanced the timing thinking I was only at part throttle. I also do not have a knock sensor anymore since Collin couldn't find a place on the block to tap for one.

 

not too bad for a POS single cam!!!

Should've been more like 180/150. *shrug* We may never know.

 

Here was the original, Y8 motor, no fuel upgrades 6.5psi.


I know Ive shown this before, but since there's a noob or two. I'd like to show them what a stock motor and a lil' boost can produce.
I believe my total cost at THIS time was around $1200 all together.

Including the dyno run

 

Just don't do what I did and get greedy with boost. I welded my ringlands together. Although it was a great learning expierence, my car hasn't run right since.

 

The latter of the two is from a 6.5psi d16y8 motor. Sidemount DSM intercooler, DSM bypass valve, 2.25" catback, 2.25" downpipe, STOCK fuel and motor, not even an upgraded fuel pump.

The first being my f'ed up motor. Possible blown headgasket (dunno when it happend) bad rings, 450cc injectors, 255pump, 8psi, etc...

compression was 160 160 150 155, after a cap of oil: 210 210 200 205 (I believe) which suggest the rings are bad.
The day after, I had a compression test.

 

Actually. They're from a D series motor that's allowing more boost into the oil pan, then in the cyls.
