EVERYTHING you need to MAKE 500HP with a HONDA CIVIC on a BUDGET 

As soon as you said people hate single cams and you love pissing them off with that smile on your face, I subscribed😄

This guy knows way too much and I fully trust everything he says to me

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.

500 hp on a budget... just build the thing right and don’t worry about the budget, “doing it right saves from doing it twice!” Wise words from Honda Yoda

You seem to actually know a good amount of the fine details in building a SOHC turbo setup. I'm impressed at the little things you have pointed out in this video. Any honda turbo newb should take notes and use this guide.

The D16 are the easiest engines to work...with incredible results

I've always wanted to keep my D series engine. Simple and crazy reliable and the thought of having a Lil 100hp engine pushing 500 sounds soooo cool😂 thx for the lesson.

I Only Use Z6 cranks. Way Better Oiling at High RPM's

Great content, just came across your channel. Glad to see there's still some cats making intelligent Honda content.

I've been looking for this exact video for a long time. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I am so grateful and I appreciate you more than you know... Keep building brother...

Subbed 👍🏻 looking forward to seeing a single cam build, good shit dude 🔥

Great video bro !! your info is priceless and a lot of people know these types of things but won't share.... you my friend are a true informer. 💪👍

Thank you for the informative video I've been looking for a video like this and now I'm a subscriber.

You are very informative and knowledgeable. Please keep putting out single cam vids like this

Hell yeah!!! Live it thanks so much for your time into this video. I have had a stock daily d16y8 5 speed for a few years. Got arp studs now sitting, an new clutch, an head gasket. Now to hunt the rods, pistons, an turbo. Nice to see an know what an how cheap to make my loved daily even more fun. Love peace and axle grease brother!!

Good video buddy and keep up the good work and hope all is well with you and your family and keep living life to the fullest

Experience is knowledge gained the best way. You have for sure! Been there, done that works hey? Great video, great advice 👍🏻

Great video, supporting your channel!!!!

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

This guys like Linustech for VTEC 😉

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. A buddy of mine wouldn't listen to my advice and he got only 200 miles out of his new build.

"Under 5ps I didn't know that about the stock pressure sensor "i I'm glad I clicked this to listen to in the background, priceless information. Thanks hombre 😎💯👍

Very informative, thanks !

I have to say I really appreciate you!! I am trying to learn my Civic d16y5 so I can rebuild it and turbo it. I know nothing am a beginner you are awesome!!!!

Love this guy you saved my budget and made it easy thanks!!!!

Love the message at the end ❤💪🏾💪🏾

I like your philosophy. Well done and cool video. Keep doing what you love you are great in it.

Hell yes! Did a tiny bit of research watched a couple videos asked a friend of mine who had a 10sec z6 and came up with these exact specs lol I have a d16y8 with a z6 head port n polished full valvetrain and 1off custom BC cam with WEB cam gear port matched to edelbrock victory x mani and skunk2 70mm tb. Y8 block has YCP pistons .5 over and sfr no notch rods king bearings y8 crank ported n shimmed oil pump capable of oiling up to and over 9k rpm no problem flex fuel with a 5858 and it’s my daily driver 97 ex coupe!

Dude love the commentary at the end, you can't lose racing with a single cam because even if they win there is no bragging rights so it's win win. I have a d16y8 in my civic that I'd love to do this with!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO, SUPER HELPFUL!!!

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.

Your a good man. Thanks and great work!

Thank you for all the information man,

makes perfect sense to me ... that too is my mantra, budget build that's built the smart way ...

just found this channel, I fw it heavy

SOOOOO HAPPY 🙂🙂🤩🤩🤩 WE BACK TO TALKING ABOUT THE SOHC !!!! LIL ENGINES DO NOT PLAY ...... can't wait to boost my D15b 3stage 💯💯💯💪💪💪💪

this is the most American way to do it. Great work man!

High school kid and my first car is a 90 ED7 ef hatch si! All of these videos are going to come in handy

Hey man Thanks for this Vid !! Very Informative I enjoyed it very much, and I understand what you said about People hating on Honda Owners it's so true. I have a Korean car and I would love to get into the Honda gang :-D is tough getting trying to get a decent Honda up here, my favorite one is Year: 2000 Honda Coupe again thanks for this vid man !

Thank you....i love your job

I'm all about volvos but you got my sub. Thanks for the great info.

Thanks much and im following you to the bowling alley so we can gives these dudes a stroll to the park...

The oil pump shim was a good idea. I have two I'll have to try it with one.

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.

I cant wait to see this build

Ive got a y7 crank, acl race bearings, speedfactory rods, 320bhp @ 13psi, pump fuel. STOCK oil pump, daily driver 1 year, no problems. I dont believe the y7/y8s cranks are that bad as some of comments. Use what you got.

Love this and yes nothing better than walking the rich v8 guys with a Fwd Japanese 4 banger can't wait to build my civic I only had boosted eclipse & Tc never got around to boosting any of my Hondas but always wanted to! Maybe next year!

Quiet, head down and walkem😀😀 Love this cat

Best single cam engine,I will recommend the d16a9 jdm.already has a perfect compression for a turbo 8.8-1.

I had a bad experience with the cometic head gasket and switched to a fel pro on my turbo z6. Cometics always seem to be hit or miss. I always recommend 5w40 rotella t6 oil and you'll have great oil pressure

You just got a new subscriber ☝️

I just got a 2000 civic ex and I love it

After watching this video I'm subscribed you have given me motive to build my d16 but here in the UK we have d16v1 witch is 130bhp which come in an ep2 civic mk7

This is a really good video I’m thinking on building a d16z6 since I’m getting a Honda Civic 2000 Sedan as a first car

I don’t have a Honda, I have a dsm but I will sub to you because I love your build

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.

Love this guy

Nice video. I an already doing 90% of this to my d16 in a fast and furious danny yamato honda civic build.🤜🤛👍👍👍👍😁😎

I laughed hard at the end how much you love to piss people off ... in fun way not a mean way. Your the man haha

bro u know your shit!!! awesome knowledge broski!! much appriciated

VERY NICE. RESPECT.

I just want to say great video! But I also want to say go with a z6 crank the 2 oil ports will lower the oil pressure but the oil flow is better you want those bearings all nice and lubed up plus if you are going for a turbo build u will need can’t stress this enough a better oil pump most turbos need oil and you need that engine like I said all nice and lubed up!

For reliability, z6 crank ftw! Gotta keep those bearings lubed or your pressure won't matter.

Cool video! How much boost can you run on fully stock block on D16Y8?

Lmao loving your energy lol... nice vid btw

Great job I'm going f22 with one build and not sure yet about the second one yet.

11:12 " and just start pissing people off " 🤣

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.

You could do the same with a rods pistons R18. The older D series cars dissolved away years ago up north...

Thank youuuu

last part of your video made me motivated to do this build in the future, you got a new sub. #savetheSOHC

Dang I'm with you guy! I want have a single cam Honda and kick some butt

Thanks dude. U kno ur stuff

"I'm not knocking those rods" 👌🏼

What cam do you recommend? And should i use stock valves? Currently building a d16z6 block.

Just saw your channel good job. 2 things caught my attention 1 y8 crank has only one oil port per journal. Z6 has 2 ports per journal. Better lub no spined bearings. 2 stock retainers is a bad ideal for hi horsepower apps. Your right 500 you can make but for how long. Definitely not daily but good job bro keep posting always learning is key

With the Brian crower valve spring and stock retainers, how much rpm can it hold reliably

Good stuff

The generic t04e1 on my y8 was too laggy to justify the 7psi I was running. That power level with more response would be so awesome so I'm thinking t25 but the rod bearings cracked. I just swapped rod and main bearings really quick, gonna run it NA for a while to see how she fairs.

Z6 crank is better and you dont need to shim the pump unless you port it. If you do decide to use a block guard make sure you bore the cylinders after it Is installed.

It's not every day I say this, but the comment section is right. I have personally experienced the phenomena in which cylinder 4 goes dry with the Y8 crank. The Z6 crank is, in my opinion, better due to the lubrication factor. Granted, some people have no issue with the Y8 crank, but your oil pump is already shimmed; there should be no worries with the Z6 crank.

Hey my brotha love the content ! Been here for a couple vids (nocap) but I just got a d15b jdm 1.5L could you give you a list to make this beast 600hp+

Nice

Thankyou.

Nice video

If done right Devcon works perfect. By the way Shimming the pump has nothing to do with pressure it add volume .

Tnx man, i learned alot from you!

I love my Honda❤

hey. im newish to the scene and i just bought a mini-me mystery motor. d16y8 head on a d15b block. will a z6 even fit the block? if not what crank should i use? im in north idaho so ill probably go to delta cams over in tacoma. also what shop should i take my head and block over to? are oil-squirters(for the back of the piston) a good idea? my dad had some in his 1980s porsche 914.

You had me at pissing people off...haha 3,000.00 rocket....I like it

What you guys think of a light crank pulley for a turbo set up

Your a hero

Would this process apply to the D17 series as well? I have a 2004 hx.... THANK YOU!

What kind of transmission to use that will be reliable with that power? Axles etc too. I would like to build a 500hp light honda for a track car on 93 octane. I just now trying to learn the solid components I need. Say for a 95-97 civic. 👍

loving the build but i thought eagle rods were stronger than speed factory not notch ?

@Autosauce. Are the z6 spring retainers same as the y8???

do you have a video about making power with just motor? im trying to make a b series for the street but dont have the room for a turbo.. its going in a old mini thanks

MY MAN!!

My first killer D series was bone stock internal with dsm 16g turbo with 1 bar wastewater 440cc with only FMU and Apexi afc and only doing 12.60s in the quarter at 108- 111mph on 15inch. I thought it was fast back then 1n 1998
