Well he didn't say anything about that.
Looking at it front on, it isn't bad.
I actually noticed the tilt after I took the picture.
I took the photo with a wide angle lens so it gives a slightly curved look.
After I took it I went and looked at the engine a bit closer.
I had driven it when I got it from the guy and I took her for a long drive.
I haven't licensed it as yet because I want to sort out everything before I spend the money to get it licensed.
I am very cautious when it comes to road safety, and I am not prepared to risk my life or anybody else's life because of negligence on my part.
Motor has to be right before I take it to the streetz.
All of this would help to give me a crash course on Civic 101.

 

take a picture of it with a regular lens

 

it's tilted...the wide angle lens isnt going to JUST tilt the engine

 

Does your car really say island tunerz on the side or is that put on because of your sig? And your engine is really tilted. How much boost you running?

 

Nah...it oesn't say island tunerz.
I just put that there for the sig.
I don't like decals plastered all over cars.
I took the photo with the regular lens......Yeah it's tilted.
I believe....not certain as yet......it's boosting between 14 and 18 psi.
I don't have an AFC or Boost controller.
This is really my first experience with an upgraded turbo setup.
Most of the cars that I had, had stock turbo setups so it wasn't any adjusting involved and I never changed out anything from the stock engines.
So I came to the Civic Gurus for wise advice.
So OH GREAT GURUS OF THE CIVIC WORLD......What do I need to straighten up that dam engine?

 

Oh...another question......what is the difference between the B16 and D16 engines?
Which is better in terms of performance, durability, etc?
If I wanted to swap out my D16 and drop in B16, is that a simple swap or would I have to go more in depth?
Thanks

 

Well it's certainly a problem with the mounts.

B16 is "better" but not by much. It's a really crappy engine to swap because you might as well get a B18B or a B18C1 instead. You're better off with the turbo D15B or D16Z6 or whatever it is you have than getting a B16. Overall, the B16 is overrated.

 

okay, so stick with the D16Y8 then.
