whitetrash Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Needs more B18!!!SKUNK2 Manifold looks good but if you think those few bolt ons on a D16 will make you 150-160bhp then you really are dreaming, they only make 100-105 stock, a B16A on a good day will put out 160-170.

Russleh Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 im no honda nut but its more than 105 stock. they not around 130 ?? so goin by thoes figures its only 20 bhp more and skunk2 gaurantee a good gain over standard just with the inlet.then if ya say lightened flywheel straight through exhaust aem fuel rail and fpr aem induction kit. i think that sounds about right.

whitetrash Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Depends which D16 it is... But i think you're off the mark as the majority of them make around 110.Plus you're going to need different management to make use of the mods. Skunk2 Cam and Manifold is well and good but you using the stock D16 throttle body and stock managemen? Sorry not trying to burst your bubble but they arent that easy to tune. If you wanted more power a B18 to start with would have been a better call or thinking of Turbo from the off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 there 135 standard. 1.6 non vtec has about 100. got a p28 ecu for it which is mappable. im not as daft to think i can just whack bits on a car and hope it sorts its fuelin etc out itself. its going turbo at some point anyway. dont think the size of the throttle body is gonna be much of an issue for what we askin from it.

whitetrash Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 What D16 is it then? 135 stock sounds a bit iffy to me!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 d16z6. just looked up the specs on it now 125 bhp. so 25 bhp extra isnt to much to ask. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitetrash Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Z6 is one of the better ones i'll give you that, but quoted power you might read is one thing, actual power is another. Assume its making 115-120 in stock form. If you're going to the expense that you are my advice (and i do have some knowledge here ;-) ) invest in some better valve springs, Skunk2 should list them. Then look at raising the rev limit, give yourself some more time between shifts, VTEC is quite short lived on the D16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 i still believe 150 is achievable with that before turboing it. lookin through threads on my mates honda tech account there was a guy put out 150 with skunk2 mani exhaust and filter and thats basically what he is aiming for. original plan was to get cams inlet mani and valve springs but the cam was discontinued. sure it was skunk2 one he was going for. dunno if he was gonna raise the limit or not. guess he will see how it runs. so now the plan is to make it to the spec i said and get it in the car running properly the way he wants and then get it off the road again to turbo it. as for expenses im not fused because its his and i just help with everythin so dont cost me. to be honest i think he doin this in spite of folk who say just get a b16 or 18 lol. just like on here when someone asks how much power can be had with a 4efe most responses say get a 4efte Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky@Race-Tech Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Z6 is one of the better ones i'll give you that, but quoted power you might read is one thing, actual power is another.

Then look at raising the rev limit, give yourself some more time between shifts, VTEC is quite short lived on the D16You won't make any power up there, we rev the stock springs to 8000 without problems. I wouldn't fancy doing that on the stock rod bolts though.I reckon it'll make 125hp, engines don't really loose power with age. Been realistic if its mapped well it should make 140+hp.Best thing would have been to turbo it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 he says he will defo turbo it after its running but just would be happy with roughly that figure first so he can run it till he saves for a good turbo kit. am i right in saying these engines internaly can handle the boost and power ok till over 250 without forgin ?

Russleh Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 guess what. changed his mind and sold the engine lol. goin for the b16 route now but concentrating on bodywork first. just decided fek it everything off lol and goin to underseal the whole car and get it new brake lines, fuel lines , all new bushes everywhere and new handlin stuff all round. so most things will be either new or hamerited to death only really have pictures of the front arches undersealed but they not very exciting. hope to do the same to my car in a while.
