rebuilding a d16y8 trying to gett as much power out off it as i can.no clue where to start ?? suggestions including turbos
really dont need to update bottom end unless your plan on going 10 lbs of boost (depending on the turbo and sea level your at.)I am doing this same thing, except i have a Y7 block and a Y5 head(same thing as a Y8 other than intake mani). i know its really hard making any real power on an SOHC so i am going turbo. if you wanna build a motor properly you want to take it to a shop to have the block honed(or bored if you want bigger pistons) have the head ported(for better air flow) and then you want to order your parts which you might want to research to see which brands and types you want for your build. unless you are having the shop do all the labor on the motor, if they are a good reputable shop you can ask them all the questions you want and they will lead you in the right direction.
