D16y7 Ebay build at the dyno!! (Road to 500whp getting closer!)

[@EricTheGreat508]

That’s amazing! Over 300 WHP for a Boosted Y7. That’s good power for a single cam Honda!!!! Very impressed!! Keep up the good work!

[@SIRICKO]

Damn j that's some good numbers my man for gaving A damn bl bro. Good video.

[@qwerty9031]

Check the gasket between your turbo and manifold, it can be cracked and leaking

[@TexasHondaChannel]

jeremy alaniz That’s brand new too and it’s not that. The headgasket can’t handle 30+ psi and the first run did good and the 2nd was doing good the 3rd run is where I feel like it failed and it kept getting lower boost on each pull. Cooling system was pressurized and my radiator hose was ballooned big time!

[@antoniomiller4962]

Good work bro that's a strong 300 that's all you mean for the blessings is coming

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Antonio Miller Thank you appreciate it!

[@joemartinez21024]

Fuck yeah brahhhh 303 on pump gas n u had boost leaks shitttt that's dope bro

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Crx Jojo Thanks man!!

[@jockobo]

I'm impressed you're running that much boost on pump gas. The numbers are just like my Y7 but I'm on E85. Was hoping to see what it would make at 30 psi. I went from fel pro to OEM to je pro seal and so far the pro seal has been holding up pretty good with the head studs torqued to 70 lbs.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

jockobo Good to know. Yes just 93 octane no boosters or anything.

[@Jcrigs]

Man that thing moves! I'd love to see a flyby video or one of those 1320 style 60 roll *mexico freeway* pulls. 300hp moves this little cars my 2000 VW Golf puts 350 down right now and it's scary but leaves a grin on the face. Wish they had bolt up traction bars for the Mk4s though

[@shotgunsherman]

I wasnt off that much I thought around 270 with no changes and with changes it went up to around 300 thats damn good man. Thats what I want with 93octane just a safe street tune. I dig it

[@dirtymotorsportsracing2215]

Definitely good numbers for the setup and having a boost leak. 500 is very obtainable with e85 and the right tune. Glad to see the progress bro.

[@andyzimmer2464]

The start of the video I thought you sprayed the tree shadows onto the car( dope) ...little let down few seconds later . But love the build/channel keep up the amazing work! Also props on the free paint jobs or you buy the paint jobs for subs/friends. Many love from northern Alberta.

[@hungrybeastvending3590]

I am in the process of building a boosted Y7.. Got the 75.5mm no notch rods, 4 piston oil pump. And it's being finished from getting the high HP CSS. For the turbo I got a borgwarner 66/81 ( Might be too big) But long story short.. ( your videos always give me inspiration on finishing my build) I'm hoping to achieve around 300-350

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Young_ Mischief801 Oh with the setup you mentioned should be higher than 300-350 :D

[@marcusdowns3581]

If you've got 2500 to burn, a torqamp 48 volt electric turbo takes up almost no space, takes maybe an hour to install, and it'll spool the bigger turbo fast enough that the size won't really matter.

[@Cartier_specialist]

Do you remember the horsepower and torque numbers I guessed the video before last based on the acceleration? I nailed it.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

ghogue61 Yup 👍🏻

[@08streetlegal]

Nice video !! Great numbers I was thinking for sure you going to hit 350 hp. With a few more upgrades you will for sure hit 400 hp

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Jonathan tube Yea for sure. I think if my blow off valve and headgasket would have held up better then it would have hit 350 easy. But boost leaking killed my power output

[@Universalimports]

Nice Save the Sohc#

[@Fr1day-RT]

Great budget build and it was cool to watch it from the beginning. Also it's good to know there's a dyno/tuner nearby if I ever decide to engine mods. Your high compression y7 idea caught my attention.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

renegade cnc, ect. I will build another high compression D series in the future.

[@SlowDelSol]

I’d stick with an OEM head gasket if I were you. NGL, I knew you would have issues with the fel pro in the engine build video but I remember you said that’s all you had at the time. Oh well, a head gasket is simple enough.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Jose Ahumada Headgasket is super easy the felpro is oem style. Ima get a cometic or JE pro seal.

[@hectorm8366]

my friend drives an y8 internals stock at 10 psi and gives 240hp. I think the psi you drive is for me to give you about 380hp Sorry for my bad english, i speak spanish 😂

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Hector Montoya Yea I’m also lower compression pistons than the stock y8 so I have to add more boost to compensate. Either way when i get all these boost leak issues fixed it should be around 350ish or so. At least I would expect that.

[@hectorm8366]

Texas Honda Channel oo very good. I drives a z6 vitara-eagle build at 11psi and ir moves well, the map oh the ecu is for 20 psi but still dont get te boost. Idk how many hp it makes at 11psi

With a China turbo kit. Oh and a chipped p28. I might have forgotten some stuff it was like 3 years ago and I sold the car almost two years ago.
