SOMETHING I FAILED TO MENTION!! I forgot to say that if you have flat top pistons or high dome pistons you will need to clay the pistons to check for piston to valve clearances. Stock y7/y8 or z6 pistons they are dish and never caused a issue for me in the past doing this.

I do believe that the rocker arms in the d17a motor in the 2002 civic fit the d16 head. The d17 has roller rockers stock, which should help with the wear on the valvetrain.

[@CorruptInfinityOfficial]

William Clough yeah roller rockers straight up give you more power through reduced resistance I’ve seen with dyno pulls

[@sinformant]

Great intro! We need to get you an aero turbine muffler. That thing would sound so deep, and with that lobe it'd be so mean sounding. My buddy had one on his civic and it sounded so deep, I've had one on multiple 4cyl cars and people always asked me about it.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Yea ima go 3 inch exhaust soon and will be in the market for a better muffler

[@sinformant]

@@TexasHondaChannel also that insert isn't about how much pressure it gets. It makes the eagle screech at lower boost, it is more about slow velocity air. The bov needs to open further at a lower boost to get the eagle sound. Its probably why the design works so well in my ssqv. The gretty knock off I had like that either opened easy and wouldn't hold boost at higher levels, or would hold higher boost but not open easy. I think that is due to the design of it having a spring to hold it shut instead of boost pressure hold it shut like the ssqv does.

[@LowProOperator]

You’re not wrong about the cam wear but to be fair pretty much every other four-cylinder engine on the market doesn’t have VTEC like Honda does. They have your typical variable valve timing, but nothing special. I’ve never seen Honda’s really have cam problems at all from my personal experience but maybe because you have a single lobe controlling two valves? correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that how the SOHC engines are? Also, what’s your 0 to 60 time?

[@darrenchin3481]

i have a locked vtec b20 with b16 head. My current issue rn is the engine wont idle by itself. It’ll rev out clean and everything but once it drops idle below 1500 it bogs out. Could that be related to it not being tuned properly?

[@Kj16V]

I'm confused as to the point in this. Is this a non-vtec engine with a vtec cam? If so, then I can understand why you would lock it. If it *is* a vtec engine then all you are doing is losing a whole bunch of midrange torque.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Kj16V The d16y7 is a non Vtec engine non Vtec cam shaft and makes less power than a Vtec engine. For the people who want to run a bigger camshaft since there isn’t a lot of options out there for the Y7 non Vtec you can now run a y8 cam shaft which they have tons of options for. Essentially you are locking vtec in since there is no vtec solenoid on a y7 you typically can’t run a vtec cam in these heads. If you lock vtec you can now run a vtec camshaft: is it easier to just swap a y8 head on a y7 block? Yes of course but some people are difficult myself included. I did it to prove you can and it did make more power doing this as opposed to running the stock y7 camshaft.

Bruh, SIRicko says to NOT lock your vtec. He calls it a half ass way of running a vtec killer cam

[@TexasHondaChannel]

We both do agree on this it being a half ass way to having Vtec killer cams but since these D16y7 and d16y8 don't have vtec killer cam setups available to buy this is the next best thing in my opinion.

I'm new to hondas I just swapped a y8 into my ek sedan how do I get a little more power now with out turbo? or can I daily drive a turbo car?

[@jaybee6477]

You won't get a reliable 15k mile a year car, get more flow, or go b18 easy 200hp+, or kseries can get up to 300hp no turbo

[@jaybee6477]

Turbos are fun but one thing goes wrong and you grenade, and there's so many more things to go wrong. N.a. you can use mostly stock HONDA parts

[@FaderSkate]

@@jaybee6477 after a while of consideration I’ll definitely be going B series motor I’m gonna try to make my civic a civic ferio or as close as possible on my budget

[@ethanrowland9220]

Me looking at my civic thats only pushing 10psi 😒

[@michaellozada429]

How much HP

[@codcade]

How much does this hurt reliability?

[@kadehinojos2598]

Ive heard it doesn't like cold starts too much. atleast on a D-series not horrible just rough idle cold and sometimes you may have to keep it running with the pedal until it warms up enough.

[@yungblaze223s]

@@kadehinojos2598can confirm. Thats exactly what it does.
