95exd16z6 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 so i have a 95 EX with a d16z6 in it, short ram, and a spare head to do whatever with. i was just tryin to get an idea whether or not i should just keep tuning the engine thats in there and boost it sumday, or whether i should drop a b18 of some sort in there. what do you guys think?

Kegger Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Boost the one you got, and you wouldn't happen to be interested in selling that head would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccordHEART Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 In the end, It's up to you, 95ex. Boosted cars are fun from what I hear, and turbos are an easy way to make power. Probably cheaper than a good swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95exd16z6 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Boost the one you got, and you wouldn't happen to be interested in selling that head would you? idk man. first i live in DE, second i think the head thats on the car has a small tweak in one of the valves or something, i think a small noise is coming from it, so i was just gonna port and polish the current head and then swap it onto the car. if i do that, would u want the head thats on the car now?

AccordHEART Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Maybe you're hearing your injectors ticking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegger Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Depends on how long of a wait it would be. But I might be interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95exd16z6 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Maybe you're hearing your injectors ticking? idk, caus it sounds differnet then the last d16z6 i had in the car, but i blew the bottom end on that one. idk if its just a subtle difference thats just because its a different head or what, but its not givin me ne problems.

95exd16z6 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Does it come with IM and dizzy? And how much shipped to 54656? IM, but no dizzy, they didnt send one of those with the new engine, so i had to keep the old one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Build the D16 and boost the crap out of it. There's a 400+whp, D16 powered, daily driven civic around my area. It's quite the beast too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 must be running over 20 lbs than at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Yeah, 22 I think and I agree....that's way higher than I'd want to run. But you could have a really fun daily driver at about 16-18psi. 300whp is plenty on the streets in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_eater12 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 well im kinda partial to the b18, but the d16 is a good engine. tho as you found out they do have a mild problem with blowin the bottom end. it also does take alot to make power with that engine. plus after years of people messin round with it, after everything you do to it it will keep makin power. also itll be cheaper in the long run if you just swp the engine. its easyer and cheaper to find certain parts for the b18.

Usually the bottom end blows out if the internals are stock. And that's because the connecting rods are about as big as an over-sharpened pencil, and about as strong as rolled up paper.
