Alright well its finally time to start my motor build since my buddy is buying my 4dr sedan so i have to start my build sooner than expected.....And well im going ot be spending money to get this thing going my hope is to hit 170-200+hp without the use of Vtec since my car rejected it lol.....but yea so heres the basis for my build....
It will be SOHC going into my 95 cx hatch and more than likely its going to be used as all 3 (strip autox and d.d.) but mainly its gonna be auto cross and a daily driver....as i dont find it a 100% fun at all to go and drive a straight line as fast as possible lol.....
So alrighty now for the info woot
Bottom End
D16z6 block and crank-due to the fact that it was built to handle vtec as well as oiling issues
** Still deciding on rods and pistons **
Hardware
I plan on using all ARP hardware so as to make things safer and have better peace of mind....
Top end
D16Y7 yes Y7 no Vtec
thinking about a Delta 272 cam which was quite interesting to research cams for this motor.....
port and polishing etc
Intake and exhaust.....
Intake manifold i have either a Y8 or Z6 intake more than likley using a Z6 intake since the Y8 dosent look all that interesting but who knows may go ahead and get a aftermarket intake manifold....
exhaust im planning on cutting apart my oem z6 421 for the flange and downpipe flange....mainly since i would like to build something that well allows me to get to all the exhaust to head bolts so its easier i hate when bolts are hard to get too especially when repairs are needed and needed to be quick.....
So now for my "vtec" killer lol a nice Turbo
Still deciding i have a Volvo TD-04 sitting in my junkyard but it had a bit of shaft play back and forth. so im hesitant at buying that im gonna talk to a buddy of mine since he can get turbos here and there for decent prices that are good to go....
Tuning
My friend uses a Mega Squirt kit and its on his miata
And yea some are saying to me that mega squirt wont be good for a honda hondata is the better option....
So to be honest im thinking of going Megasquirt since i think hondata really is mainly for the use with Vtec and since im not useing that id rather do megasquirt.....
so yea about 500$ for that system......
but anyhow thats my build thus far still in its beginning stages once i get the money for the 4dr i will have around 1200 to sink into parts and building of this motor and whatever left will go forth into my suspension build at a later date as i figure out what i want in those aspects ........
So let me know what you guys n gals think about this whole setup and what do you think of my expected goals are they too high or about right or am i building more than i really think i may be needing.....
And what struck this project is i had a 940se volvo turbo and it was sweet even tho it was heavy it still kept up with that of a stripped ef hatch with a semi built b16 until i let off because i dont really speed over the limit....lol but yea after that and after seeing countless turbo supercharged and n/a builds on multiple websites i do appreciate everyones hard work and i would like to go my own route and go turbo......on a non vtec z6 motor where the spark plugs are in the position i prefer and everything is built with functionality and a touch of reality and the whole fact of im going to start off with a pretty much brand new motor which will allow me to not have to deal with other people who say the motor is good and come to find out the motors junk and they are gone unable to reach lol...... pics to come shortly of my parts ive gathered thus far lets hope for the best.....
