EH6TunerDaniel Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 And why is this Honda's fault? They sold it to get good gas mileage, not go fast. You are going to rev to 9000 with stock rods and rod bolts? Not a good idea. What block are you using? Why are you getting oversized valves? Titanium retainers are teh suck.
coolcat467 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Just pay $500 or so to do the d16z6 swap.
clutch450r Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 well not stock rod bolts, im going with ARP but yea stock rods...im already revving at 7200 on stock rods and notice i said no motor swaps.... i wanna kick the 1.6 SOHC non v-tec and i know its not hondas fault but does anyone know of a companY that makes a good cam for my ride? i wanna oversize the valves to gain max performance with topend right now, eagle rods are a future investment, im buying a spare block d16y7 to build it up on...what retainers would you recommend?
coolcat467 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Well if you are getting the y7 block, just buy a d16y8 head which is a vtec head.
clutch450r Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 im not interested in v-tec.....i soon plan on going to nitrous and dont reali wanna mess with v-tec I was looking at these rods..... any input about them? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...mMakeTrack=true
90IntegraC1 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 So you're going N/A, therefore raising compression. You want to do nitrous, but w/ such a high CR you're risking detonation.... I hope you know what you're doing, b/c your little non-vtec n/a build will have a hole through the head if you're not careful.
clutch450r Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 im not all to sure on the n20 yet but if i do go ahead and put it in i only plan on using it the least bit and it would only be maybe a 50 shot at the most, ive been around motors for quite a while so i know what to do and what not to do, but im not saying i know everything and that is why id like some imput, thanks hondaforums
coolcat467 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 I say you do what I said. It's fairly cheap and nitrous is gay.
coolcat467 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Here's your stupid cam. Stupid cam (7th green line down)
clutch450r Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 thanks bud, have you heard and good about them?
coolcat467 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Well I was reading on a forum somewhere that they were pretty good. Maybe do a little research.
clutch450r Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 hmm ya got me thinking now, im going to follow up and check out there prices and maybe do a whole head set up with them and ecu upgrade
