OTiS Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 it better last or i kewl you :chair: . jp. so far looks good man. you might wanna get smaller piping for your exhaust. i think mpearce said that anything over 2.5 dosent put enough backpressure on the motor. not sure if thats true or not so you might wanna find out and make sure. whats your future plans??

Kastigir Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 That exhaust is a turbo exhaust, you're actually costing your car some power. Also, I hate when people refer to eBay parts as egay...especially when they're using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 im planning on a b swap, my buddy has a b16a2 with a built GSR trans,he said he'll take 800 + a d swap, so thats pretty much it motor wise, ext. i plan on painting it blue, not sure the shade but ill just be using the advanced auto dupli-color paint its like 22 bucks a QT, as far as wheels i want to get rota auto-x wheels black, and an oem cf hood, front, rear bumper, and skirt all cf with a cf duck bill and side marker, gold LCA's, im ordering 1/4s when i get home and bradley is gonna do the work, the only thing for the int. is a cluster with a tach and rob...how much power am i losing?

It's a D series, they're not exactly powerhouses anyway, probably no more than 5 HP. It's all relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 200whp is where most people stop on stock d16's, and as long as the engine is well cared for and the tune is right on i've seen claims on d-series of them lasting years like that.

C92hatchX Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 what should i run on a dd?, im not looking for crazy fast just a little kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 what should i run on a dd?, im not looking for crazy fast just a little kick If you're not running 8, then I wouldn't bother. At 4-6 the wastegate would be opening by the time it started to spool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 shoot for around 200whp, its doable without too much boost, assuming you port the head and get a slightly better cam (unless you do a head swap). that's double what you're putting out now, and with a turbo you will have pretty close to 200wtq. in car that weighs a hair over 2300lb, at the most, it'll be pretty peppy.

C92hatchX Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 so if i swap like a y8 head thatll give better compression and more power right?...then throw on like a y8 IM and EM, and y8 tranny im looking at a really good start for boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 i've always been under the assumption that you should use whatever ecu came with the head you will be using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
