[@TexasHondaChannel]

I ran 12 psi daily while tuned on 93 octane pump has. you need bigger injectors at least 450cc is ideal for lower boost 6-12psi. the internals can handle up to 18psi but I recommend 7-12 range for long lasting and fun.

Brother man i have a question 4 u, did you ever hade coolent issues after the ARP headstuds?

[@jameshunt5316]

Did you warm up your engine, turn it off let it cool and tighten your headstuds again? If you don’t, within 200 miles about 2-3 nuts will loosen themselves up or studs will slightly loosen. After this final torque should be good to go! (Some people don’t do this some people do)

[@BoostedPastime]

​@@jameshunt5316thank you for this info!

[@jameshunt5316]

@@BoostedPastime of course, now that I know more, you absolutely want to re-torque those studs after the first warm-up/break in. Hope your head wasn’t too shaved either or you might have issues once boosted. If it’s too shaved it will run fine NA but won’t be able to take more than 8 psi boost. Good luck!

[@BoostedPastime]

@@jameshunt5316 is that due to head lift? Thanks and to use a D series manual transmission with a B series engine you just need to weld metal onto the block and then tap two transmission bolt holes correct?

[@jameshunt5316]

@@BoostedPastime it’s what causes head lift in d and b series. Almost impossible but a fresh from factory head would get you the best results to prevent head lift. Everytime it’s shaven flat by a machinist the cylinder gets that much smaller. You can compensate with thicker head gaskets but only so far… as for the second I’m not sure but there’s plenty of documentation either on KZbin or one of the Honda forums I’d think you could find something where someone’s done it

[@Constantuned]

how do you keep it from blowing headgaskets? Im building a vitara long rod built motor and have the stock y7 block with a y8 head but im pushing past the head gasket at only 10psi. Was gonna do arp headstuds and oem headgasket instead of the Failpro currently in it. What head gasket are you running?

[@codewaterairsoftandmore1050]

Get arp head studs, but most importantly use the oem d16y8 head gasket.

I tried to look at your tuners page and it says page not found

[@dustinninja2803]

Why can’t you break in an engine with synthetic?

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Dustin Ninja In these older engines the break in is necessary to remove any metal flashing or abrasive material left inside the engine after machining as well as to allow the rings to "seat" properly. Today's engines are built with tighter tolerances so you could use full synthetic during a break in because the improved machining and under cleaner conditions compared to the engines of 10 or 20 years ago. Current engine manufacturing technology does not require a break-in period using petroleum-based motor oils.

[@dustinninja2803]

After you rebuild an engine and put like 5k miles on it should you switch to synthetic? What do you recommend ?

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Dustin Ninja I put synthetic after the first 500 miles and it does perfect after that.

[@strickracing437]

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Ragged Ridez didn’t mean to make it sound like a ass or anything but this is my 5th vitara build they were all the same setup cheap stage 3 or stage 4 clutch. I had a $90 eBay XTR clutch it made 496whp and still didn’t slip I was shocked as shit: it’s all about the break in. We had one slip at 250whp and it was a 300ftlb capable clutch but it wasn’t broke in the right way. The ones we break in with proper procedure take a beating beyond our expectations

@@DomkeBoy You can run a stock d series up to around 200hp maybe even getting 180 whp pretty safely. I don't have boost numbers for that, sorry. They cannot take much beyond that though if you want reliability. Past there you should look into getting the engine built which is cheap as it is just some vitara pistons and rods. You can do more but that will get you past 300 easy.

No issues thus far and my buddy has been running a similar setup making 250whp which is about the limit for the stock rods and pistons and it's survived 2 years worth of track days with no issues. The only thing that makes these motors unreliable is neglect, Stick to a healthy service routine and the motor will never give you any complaints.
