Long live the D. No problems with my daily overbuilt 425hp y8 build. Just getting a bad wrap cause people dont check their oil levels and spin the bearing on piston 4 due to oil starvation cause it has and aluminum cast oil pan and holds less oil than the sheet metal pans. Oil light doesnt come on until your about 1.5 qts. Remeber its an oil pressure light not a oil level light, thats what the dip stick is for.

Z6 crank is better my guy..... the z6 has 2 holes for more lubrication thus lubricating the crank and main bearings more causing less bearings to spin. Y8 cranks spin bearings at hi rpm so keep your limiter around 7k. And with a z6 pump on a y8 or y series engine you will no longer have a dipstick hole because the y8 has the dipstick hole in the oil pump and the z6 or a6 have them in the block by the manifold.

Don't forget that Honda main and rod bearing fitment are numbered and color coded. It will be stamped on the bock and crank. No two bearings are the same. Fitting is highly recommended by a qualified engine builder. This is where you will lose all your oil pressure if you get it wrong.

Your oil pressure is determined by the clearances between the crankshaft journals and the main/rod bearings, plus any other accessories that use the oil pump for lubrication. (piston oil squirters, which I recommend for a turbo engine, plus you can lean out and still pull timing for fuel economy on the highway) Having only one oiling hole per crankshaft journal is a potential failure point, as your oil pressure reading may be high, but if your oil is too thick, which turbo builds will be using, the crankshaft oiling holes will become a restriction and starve the bearings. There's a reason you don't see Z6 motors spinning rods, whereas the Y8 will spin bearings occasionally. It's not the biggest concern but if we're talking reliability, you should definitely be considering a Z6 bottom end. I am interested in building a D15B bottom end with a D17A2 cylinder head with cam and valvesprings. You get coil-on-plug ignition and better swirl ports for low end torque. You just need to use Megasquirt or another standalone with it as Hondata is not an option.

Hi! I’m in the process of doing this D16Z6 build; YCP Vitara 75.5 pistons, No notch long rods so the compression is around 8:5.1 instead of 7:6.1 on the standard rods. I’m using the Ferrea 6000 competition intake and exhaust valves, BC springs on stock Z6 retainers and the comp cam stage 2. Z6 crank as I would prefer the extra oil port for the bearings.. head will be ported, polished and skimmed, valve angle 3 to 2, with the adjustable cam gear and cylinder protector.. and because of this video il either get a better oil pump or do the spring method to the z6 pump

[@3dw3dw]

I like most of what you said and I admittedly don't know squat about Hondas (I'm a 2zz builder), but sacrificing oil flow so you have a better guage reading doesn't sound like a good idea. To me it sounds like a recipe for a spun bearing when you spend lots of time at higher rpm. Back in the day when I was building 351 Clevelands we would put restrictors in the block to keep more oil on the crank by limiting the amount of oil to the valve train but I would never ever ever restrict oil flow to the crank and rod journals for a better guage reading. Shimming the regulator on the pump, however is something I've definitely done before and will do again, but I am sure to use billet pump internals when I do it as I've had stock pumps explode at high rpm. Good video, I enjoyed it. I'm studying for my first Honda build and I'd don't want to spend 2zz money on a d16.

[@michealmontez8832]

I thought the z6 crank was better cause at high rpms they need those oil passages to prevent contact. To make up for the pressure loss, you shim and port the oil pump.

Yeah that part is wrong. Z6 is better for more oiling to the bearings

what about cooling? Do you need to get a big intercooler? what about fuel rail i can imagine you cant run stock fuel rail?

[@wedowhatwewant6850]

what if i do supercharger with this? should i get 1 hole or two hole? does oil pressure play big factor? or no.... does this list even apply for a supercharger

I have a D15B7 long block in good stock condition. I’m totally new to Honda stuff. Does this video pertain to my engine? I don’t need 500HP but…..😊 It’s going in a vw sandrail.

[@Autosauce]

Yes, it does!

Great video bro. Had a question, I want to turbo my stock y7 and make somewhere between 160-200 on lower psi as it will be a daily driver. Would you still recommend the rods and pistons replacements as opposed to the stock? Would gladly appreciate any advice, I’m barely learning about building and cars in general. Thanks!

[@Autosauce]

The stock engine should be good for about 200 hp! Send it !

[@Guy-fc9zx]

How much HP do you think stock y8 pistons would handle? And still be reliable

[@gnargooch]

@@Autosauce you’re crazy…I love it! Hahah Full send it is!

[@sidsmith4832]

Can you polish the head would that be good enough for flow and what would be the torque for the head, crank bolts

[@Guy-fc9zx]

How much HP would stock y8 pistons handle and still be relatively reliable

[@Autosauce]

About 190-200hp

[@Guy-fc9zx]

Ok great

[@HairProductExpert]

Question? 500HP Motor: What kind of transmission are you pairing up to the motor after increasing the HP that much? What kind of modifications do you have to do to the suspension to handle that much HP safely? Thank You

[@X5XST4RK1L3R]

Coilovers are recommended IMO but you could get away with springs. If you cheap out and go springs Tein browns are what I would use and buy some ADJUSTABLE UPPER CONTROL ARMS, REAR CAMBER ARMS and bigger rear sway bar/rear subframe brace ASR is pretty good IMO.

Any updates on this build? Would you tweak anything or is everything spot on?
