RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

what kinda internals you plannin on running in it?

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

75.5mm vitaras, eagle rods, ported oil pump, havent decided if im gonna run performance or oem bearings yet...

MAYBE::: ill sleeve it just for kicks, because i know a machinest who may take over this motor and make it a beast... but i dont know yet, sleeving would be worthless for the power im gonna push to it but who knows, if its sleeved i might runa 75 shotto it and really give err hell, that would be to much fun lol

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

where you located?

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

Minnesota, where the muscle cars out number the tuners 2-1... go to the cities and cruise and its all gto's, cobras, a couple supras, and stuff like that..

i did find a b18c1 for a grand on craigslist, which i almost shat, but i want to run a dseries, more pride in a d16 ;)

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

when I get back to TN man holla at me before you buy anything like a block or anything. hell I can get K24's for like $600 for a long block.

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

you think you could find me a d16y8 longblock for like under $200 shipped? a long block would be better so i can get the head ported.

i dont care about mileage EVERYTHING is beign replaced. i would totally appreciate it if you could do this for me.. my y8 right now is sending off a puff of blue smoke when i redline shift, burning oil is not good sign before a turbo lol [&:]and im not gonna waste my time rerring hte engine

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

I can look around but I am pretty sure I can atleast get you a short block. Maybe a z6 block or a Y7 block but both will do just as good.

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

I got a B16 block for $50

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

you think you could find a b18c5 w/ tranni for around 1500-2000???

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

i know of a b18c1 w/ tranny for 1k, go to craigslist MN stpaul / minneapolis and search gsr motor



will a y8 head fit on top of a z6 block? cuz my buddies headstuds wouldnt fit his y8 block to his z6 head [:@]

and if i did a y7 block with a y8 head wouldnt that be just like a mini me? and is a y7 the same everything as a y8? just not vtec upstairs?

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

yea Y7 is the same and a Y8 head will go right on a Z6

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
 

then why does a z6 head not fit on a y8?

thats odd as hell lol...

RE: just bought a d16y8 bare block :)
