How much Can a d16y7 engine handle safely?

[mkulrey13]

In terms of boost, how much power can this engine hold? is it worth upgrading internals?

100000000 HP

if you are asking a question like this you need to be doing research. please search the forums for information pertaining to your motor about turboing...

Thanks.

d series rods arent the greatest. i wouldnt push them too far past 200 hp

 

[toneekay]

mini me swap

 

[codyllee]

I have seen stock d series go to 260hp...im sure they dont last long though. Hardcore is about right 200-220hp

I think he wants to know how much boost the stock engine can handle

yes and we answered him. if he tries trying to push too much power on stock rods hes going to end up with a hole in his block

My friend was pushing 177WHEEL hp all motor on his Y8.


Why would you wanna fix up a Y7 though?

a d16y7 block will handle 190whp all day every day 100% reliably wont fail, anything higher and you start risking throwing a rod. sure you can pull 240+whp out of them easily but they blow up real quick after that. 190 is your safe spot.

Thanks just wondering since my hatch has this..im new to the JDM world please give me some time LOL

 

[Coutts]

udnerstandable lol. well you have to break stuff to learn stuff just remember that.

 

[Scorchsta]

As I found out today, I wouldn't push more than 200. I was around that and threw a rod through my block.

If you wanna make it a quicker daily driver then just do Intake, Header and exhaust.

At the price of gas, I dont know why you would wanna decrease the gas mileage on a DD DX. You have your Cobalt as your weekend gas burner!

5-7 pounds of boost is considered reliable. anything more than that and you run a risk of blowing your motor.

a header and an exhaust wont do that much on a d series. bolt ons dont do crap for them. if you want to make them fast forced induction is the way to go

Itll give him the noise to make it seem as if it was faster.

 

[umair]

you should run 170-180 WHP on pump gas and 190-200 WHP on race gas.
