Alright I have a mission, merely because someone told me it was stupid and that i just swap out the engine. I want to build a 1 bar street legal turbo'd d16y6. I'm tired of all of the crap from people telling me the only option is a swap. I have a few ideas but most end in a question mark cuz i don't know how legit the ideas are.
-One is rebuild the block with crower rods the block and crank blueprinted and balanced. APR studs, srp 9:1 pistons, crower d16 cam turbo application. aftermarket head gasket. engine block guard, polyurethane mounts, Greddy TII catback.
Now where the real questions begin.
Should I build the turbo diy style, or use something like the greddy kit as a base system. How big is too big on the fmic? I also plan to throw on accessory pulleys, aem cam gear for tuning reasons.
What about fmu?
I have an A/M so when I do the swap how should i build the m/t? I know the A/T is only good for about 200 whp and i don't want my throttle response to be a mixture of pops, sprays, and general armeggedon of the mechanical kind.
I do have to keep in mind I'm a 97 4dr sedan, and a i have a 8psi turbo'd b16 hatch to atleast to keep up with if not surpass. I have been praying to the lord of vtech but have had no intense revelations so.....

 

You could do it cheaper if you bought the parts seperately instead of doin a kit.

 

what would be more appropriate t-28, or t3/t04e also vtech or non-V

 

d16y6?

You mean d16y7 right. I will advise you to get a 92-95 d16z6 block for the build because the d16y5/7/8 (96-00) all have oiling issues that result in spun rod berrings after prolong use under high performance applications

 

yes its not y6 i can't type for anything its a y8 i am retarded

 

It dont really matter, the Y5, Y7, and Y8 all used the exact same bottom end which like I said has oiling issues. If you have a Y8 then just find a old d16z6 or D16A6 bottom end to build then do headwork to the Y8 head.

Good luck and if you need any help LMK man
