I have a B16Y7(NON-VTEC), and I want to put a B16Y8 (VTEC). I was reading up on it, and it can be done. How muich power will this give me? My car has no balls rite now. and I want something more.
Since there is no such thing as a b16y7, I'm hoping you mean you have a D16y7 and you have a B16a2/a3 head... but regardless a B series head won't fit on a D series motor.
What if I get an exhaust system, and cold air, at the same time that I do the swap. all together that could be over 40hp gain. am I correct, or just dreaming?
sure the exhaust and intake will flow slightly better, but you still have restrictions, TB, Intake mani, header, cat.
If you want some serious power from a D series your best bet is to swap the head, get a better header, racing/straight thru cat, 2.5" catback exhaust and then head on over to edelbrock.com and get the D series turbo kit... Part # 1500 I believe. CARB/50 State legal turbo kits include EVERYTHING you need.
I am a little short for cash rite now. I don't think the turbo is going to come rite now. I don't have the money to buy one. But if I put a VTEC head, header, catback exhaust, and cold air. How much power u think I could get?
So you'll get that 11 hp from the headswap, and the header/exhaust/intake MIGHT net you 10 hp... and I stress that it MIGHT net that, as I can't guarantee it.
106 to 127 is 21, but whatever. so I'm not going to get much hp for the money I'm spending then. What else would you suggest I do so that I can have a decent amount of power without paying an arm and a leg
