My D16Y8 Vitara Build - Part 2

[@dannyjr7997]

Don't rev past 7200 unless have upgraded valve springs imo. Very clean build and hope it all works out great.

[@ShawnFerret]

Thanks! I haven’t changed the rpm limit. It’s great so far and has about 1200 miles on it now.

[@DelFam2011]

This engine could easily handle more than 7200rpm, the stock rpm limited is 200 higher than that. As for the ARP bolts, D series have a hard time holding their HGs tight so many people opt to tighten the head bolts to as high as 90 ft⋅lb. I have several d series setups. I also have a red EK but after a few years beating on the D16Y8 I noticed a rod bearing was starting to wear thin and luckily it didn't chew the crank yet. I ended up swapping a D16Z6 out of a boomer's wrecked sunday-driven Del Sol. I also have another Del sol in tact with a unmolested D16Z6 in it. It sucks I can only play with these cars a few months out of the year living in Mich U. P. but when you can there are a lot of roads to do pulls on. lol. I'm subbing this channel and coming to check out other videos because I am also in the process of basically copying what you have, a pole barn with a Natgas heater. I'd like to pick your brain

@@DelFam2011 sorry I missed this comment before! Sounds like fun up there in the U.P. Feel free to shoot me a message on IG if you have any questions about the shop setup.

Those look like some comfortable couches!

[@ShawnFerret]

That's why nothing gets done around here.

[@ShawnFerret]

Will do, thanks for the support!

[@drate100]

Doing a similar build you mind putting info on the manual you used for the build ?

[@ShawnFerret]

It’s the factory Honda service manual for the 1996-2000 Civic. You can find a PDF copy to download from Google.
