Pr93 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey whats up. Thought I decide to join, Dont know much about cars,but imports have always caught my eye, have some questions regarding a 93 civic LX I just bought. I have a d15b7 non vtec, I just purchased the car for a fairly good price, the engine has only 88,100 miles on it, wich is pretty damn good for a 93, now I want to get more HP, I dont want to do an engine swap because of the low mileage and dont got that kind of cash for a turbo, so of course the I/H/E will be put in, it was suggested to me that I change my head, and get a d16y8 or d16z6, now I dont know which would be a better fit or where to find one.. Has any one here built a d series motor?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I have a D with bolt ons. SolLes had a fully built D pushing 430 HP and SSR has a stock Y7 that owns many. Go with the Y8 head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Get the Z6 head with a y8 IM or a Edelbrock IM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 The head you have is the same as an 89-91 Si head. Keep it. Send the cam to Deltacam and have them do a 272 regrind on it ($100). DC 4-1 header. Skunk2 intake manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Doesn't the Y8 head breathe a lot better than the Z6? Or am I thinking of the intake manifold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pr93 Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Another Question: I found a 2000 Civic EX Manual D16Y8 Intake Manifold +Throttle Body can I use it for my LX automatic? And if so Can I use it on my D15 and still keep the same hoses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
