i can see maybe 200-240 max and that’s pushing it hard
b18c1 with a nice drag kit with hondata will put down 275whp+
b18b1 with a drag kit and hondata 240whp+
now look at the base hp with those two engines
c1 170hp cr 10.0:1
b1 140hp cr 9.2:1
d16y7 more or less 100whp
now when you exceed the 14psi (more or less pending block condition) you run the risk of cracking, melting, blowing, etc the sleeves
yes this doesn’t have to be a daily car but my biggest point is the simple fact that there is no way to make that much hp with a d 16y7 i could see maybe a sleeved y8 with some great head work and allot of money invested in a turbo kit
the hf mani is a great idea because of the plentiful of them and the price but the flow of it isn’t the best for the numbers you want a tubular mani is almost the only way to go imo
not to mention the flow of the d series heads simply sucks in comparison to the b series simply their economy engines
ya sorry for being a "internet hardass" in my first reply but your hp estimations are just ungodly high
now id love to see a d series do that but its not realistic
greatest thing about d series is that their a lot cheaper that b series so when you blow one you can pick up another for a lot less than a b series which makes the idea of building a d series all that much sweeter
the guy at garage advance did it on a stock bottom end i remember his car at the del sol meet when i took my turbo sol there. my bottom end isnt exactly stock. also im running a y7 block with a z6 head LS TB and y8 IM manifold. yes i know there is modification needed. head will have a little bit of work not much though no upgraded valvetrain at this point in time. i think this motor will be able to handle 15psi easily. theres only one way to point out. i mean i really have nothing to lose if anything i blow a single cam motor. and for the record that guy at Garage advance was running an a6. im gonna throw the motor together and try the small 16g out. i mean somebody has to try it and obviously nobody has tried it yet.
