so i got it
if anyone remembers my previous thread i bought my friends ek,i dont know much about ek's and im still doing researchi know it has the d16y7 but as far as that goes... perfomance, what are they good for? low end, mid range, high end etc. it already has an aem sri on it and some tein lowering springs, and a cd deck. its a dx so it has no power steering (which is fine) the ac works but it needs some freon. its got a sh*tload of dents but its okay i wanna keep it low key. i heard that the apex'i world sport exhaust is pretty decent. but besides i/h/e what else can i do to it? im thinkin about puttin some jdm parts on it but i want to know its true potential. any answers would be greatly appreciated
thanks derekautomatica |
RE: so i got it

RE: so i got it
what about engine swap? what can it handle?
|
RE: so i got it
ORIGINAL: derekautomatica what about engine swap? what can it handle? if the compression is fine, then it should handle up to ~10lbs of boost |
RE: so i got it
what civ has the y8 head?
|
RE: so i got it
the 96-00 EX - engine code is D16Y8. i want to type more but forum virus won't let me...
|
RE: so i got it
haha aight i'll looks into it thanks man.
|
RE: so i got it
for best results from the mini-me, try to get the Y8 intake manifold too. it has larger runners and is better overall.
|
RE: so i got it
what about the ECU?
|
RE: so i got it
yea you'll need a d16y8's ECU. ECU code is P2P.
|
RE: so i got it
don't even count on 25 whp with a vtec, maybe with a minime and a lot of boltons, but not a minime alone
|
RE: so i got it
what about a b20 block and a gsr head idk if that'll fit but just a b20 block with a vtec head on it.
|
RE: so i got it
yes, it fits, but the b20 bottom end is weaker than the gsr bottom, why not just use a complete gsr swap over?
|
RE: so i got it
i could do that i just had a friend with that hybrid motor haha and it worked out well for him. but a gsr swap sounds nice.
|
RE: so i got it
it works, but the bottom end needs to be checked out before you start revving up to what the gsr head can handle.
|
RE: so i got it
seems like alotta work, so the gsr swap sounds nice along with a gsr tranny then im lookin good lol.
|
RE: so i got it
it all depends on what your goals are, just research pros and cons of each swap before you attempt or purchase anything.
|
RE: so i got it
i'll post some pics of it when i get my digital camera workin again but as for right now it's got steelies, some minor dents, tein springs and an aem sri. its pretty clean but the dents can be easily repaired. just needs some tinting and i think im gonna get rid of the back seats...i hate driving more than one person in a coupe.
