SLEEPER D16 VTEC TURBO SURPRISES FERRARI D16Y8 

I used to have ALOT of fun with my single cam with an eBay turbo on 8 psi on a bone stock engine. I had it tuned on 15 psi at one point, and it pulled REALLY hard, but I just wanted to turn it down to a fun streetable car and 8 psi gave it plenty of fun power and I could take out modified WRXs and Mazdaspeed 3s at the track.

Glad to see a good breather setup. Nobody realizes how critical that is. Nice work.

That exhaust is beautiful! So glad to see a full exhaust rather than a cheap dump right out of the damned hood or fender!

Car might not have 500hp but it looks very fun and actually driveable on the street. Great work!

Love seeing the casual cruises and banter with folks. Seeing the losses is fun, it’s a d16 at the end of the day but it’s lovely

Brings back memories from my D16Y8 days when I ran a 50 Shot of nitrous I could pull a 14.8 Quarter with just that and the AEM on a non Limited slip. I ditched the 50 shot Nitrous and went with the T3\T4 Turbo and a tuner and thing was getting about 235 + plus HP at 10 PSI street and 14 PSI on the Track thing went from high 14s to low 13s So much fun. That was on the EG chassis 2 door coupe.

Man that exhaust is a thing of BEAUTY! So is your civic! New sub here -- super in love with m d16y8. 8psi is what I'm on currently just a tune from home. Lifted my head my first trip out then went with ARP studs and a bit less boost hahaha Be well fam!

Super nice and clean build mate , it's nice to see one done right and using quality components . I have a very similar build in an EK sedan and it's alot of fun . Subscribed !

The d16y8 should handle 500whp all day long when it is built. Lifting the head shouldn't be an issue until around 600whp with head studs. A bunch of people out here are making 500 with just a cheap set of rods and some vitara pistons.

Coolest camera angles I've seen on RU-vid.

My crx makes 275/240 on piston/rod t3 hybrid turbo. And it feels like 450+ whp in my focus. Thing is absolutely rowdy. Power to weight is a blast.

Just the smile on your face says it all great work loved it

Best sounding D series that I’ve ever heard mate!

Love watching your videos can't wait to Turbo my D16Y8. keep up the great content thanks Tristan

Sounded like a jet about to take of with the GoPro in the engine bay

Oh mama give DAT Baby a tissue.... She has a little sneeze 😂😂😂

Very awesome video. Love the sleeper. Need to do that to my Civic.

hahaha that was awesome, definitely impressed some people !

Def need some engine mounts. Would make the car feel a whole lot better!

Idk how I haven’t seen this video yet, I feel like I been following and bullshitting with you forever lol. Love this build which a lot I’m gonna incorporate on mine. That 1320 mani is a beaut ! Edit - I just saw my last comment on this 🤦🏻‍♂️. Been a lot going on last couple years legend. I’m ok I promise 🤣

😍 I​ love​ your style, this​ real of​ "modification". 🤘👍👍👍🤘🤩

That's incredible! Half the boost and only lost 5hp.

If you have the captions turned on, anytime the motor is running at idle, the subtitle says [music]. Which isn't false.

Can't wait to finish my b18c2 GSR build, Looking at going a Garrett g series turbo undecided whether I want to go a 30 or 35 for the engine.😎👍

Motor moving all over the place, but she sounds good, I like it, ggz

just running a stock d16 I know how much of a difference letting these motors breath with a less restrictive exhaust makes, better fuel economy no doubt. can't wait till I get things more sorted and start my journey making more power. but might go high compression first and then do a turbo build next. might add that I currently have an ej8 that had it's engine and tranny swapped for the y7 variants, but found a d16y8 with tranny for $200, just a shame I had to dismantle it because I was in a tough spot to even transport it seeing as I had no hoist or stand and had to take it apart in the back of my pickup just so I could lift it and store it. the gasket surface of the head got scrapped so now I have to mill it. so might as well just completely rebuild the y8 and either do a mini me swap or use the whole engine and remove the y7 components all together. the y7 does seem to get good fuel economy despite having the original ecu and being electronically limited to 5.6k rpm aka the vtec switchover

Super neat build love the details and the bov sounds 👌 great,what bov is that?

I use to have a 91 ef with a turboed gsr it was fast as hell to me I loved it , the only thing I don't like is that the engine moved to much even with new motor mounts. I should have got the solid mounts no moving.

TURBOTRISTAN I have a 2000 Civic EX, 5 speed, with the D16Y8. I'm building it for racing. Please tell me everything about that coil on plug set up? I need to know what brand that is, and the bracket. Thank you.

In my experience the ignition timing blowing out the head gasket is unique to the Y8 head. I was able to run way more timing on a Z6 with no issues. My Y8 wants about half of the timing that my Z6 wanted under boost, or it will blow the HG even with ARPs/Vitaras. I assume it’s due to the much tighter quench zone on the Y8 head. For reference, I had my timing table at 15 degrees advance @ 15 psi on the Y8 and it blew the HG. I backed down to 8 degrees @ 15 psi and with very minimal power loss and now I have no HG issues.

great vid, some solid mounts will help with the shifting

Sorry if I missed it. What ECU setup are you using? Great video.

Always enjoy ur channel, greetings from usa

Mans got nervous and missing all the gears, listen my boy we don't miss gears when there's big juice next to us fam

9:55 the sound plus smile is so great 💀

Stop missing that 3rd boy ahahaha jp brotha

Awesome content been watching your videos! Seriously considering ditching the idea of a b/k swap after seeing your vids. The car sounds fantastic!!

What is your full build ? If you don’t mind me asking, also do you mind doing a video on how to put a breather in a y8 valve cover ?

Hi mate were did you get the coil on plugs I could do with some for my sohc f20b engine 😀

love watching these civic videos!!! still working on my build over on my channel.

Seeing that turbo spool without any filter or turbo guard gives me anxiety lol

Wow that exhaust looks really really nice!

Got to see you back at it m8

Beautifully made. I like the coil on plug conversion; I am having an oil seal leak on my d16y4 distributor so trying to replace the oil seal but didn't know about the covervison. How much did Gary spend on that?

Turbo makes up 1/4 of the engine size , love it 🤣 .

I have a d16y8 98 Civic myself can't wait to build it how much money in USD do you think it would take to make this kind of power reliably also love the Ek

I have the same engine and never knew where to start for more durability. It’s a tank engine but I finally see an ideal build! But mine is in a del sol

Hahahaha loved the race! The guy was proper surprised!

turbo D series is the way to go these days with the price of swaps going insane.. my 89 CRX SI build had a D16A6 block with machined B20B rods, Vitara pistons and stock Z6 head and Z6 intake manifold. turbo was a T25 from a 2G Eclipse. it made 10 psi at 3K RPM and was lots of fun. the car was crashed than sold before I got a chance to put a bigger turbo on it...

hey mate, Im just wondering what you use to create and edit your videos? cheers

Dirty hands crew did the sick intro animation 👌

like your ride brother but please add a drone pipe to the exhaust. just subscribed and liked.

What’s the power band with that turbo? How streetable is this set up, doing a similar build just need to find a turbo

Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲 😎

You can use b18 headstuds if you drill and tap the block for them. They are larger than d16 headstuds... head wont lift now

Hey man figured id throw this out there the newer d17 valvecover fits on a d16 and has the coilpack studs. I recently saw a 400hp d16 running that cover and tons of other ridiculous mods like d2b trans e85 and water to air intercooler etc. He was making 800hp apparently but kept lifting the head due to the small headstuds.

Love it bro trying to get my channel going. Got my gt3582r going in my fa5 soon.

Love the channel looking to turbo my y7 with Brian crowler built top end thinking about maxxspeedingrods t3 t4 t04 universal turbo kit any advice or tips on that setup and what gaskets would you recommend intake manifold and tb

Very impressive build 9psi sweet man 💪🇺🇸

Insperational! Great vid. Great content. I hope you blow up so you can keep this up!!

I have a 1991 Honda Civic body. I’m using a 1994 Honda Civic engine gearbox I’m trying to put it in the 1991 Civic engine mount no fit how can you help with 94 engine gearbox fitting in the 91 Honda Civic to run the road. Help me please with the Project.

Quick question that just crossed my head. If I was to connect my dump pipe a similar way, would I have issues with wideband readings if it's installed after they connect together?

Beautiful build should use the torque mounts it help with the shaking some

What muffler is on this one? I’m going similar setup with a tad smaller turbo

bro i think im gonna do that one day to my d16. ive got a y7 tho so no vtec but it might make it even more sleeper in a way

I don't think it's a d series problem I tuned a car piston rods valvetrain a stock cam basic ARP had no problem at 20 psi pump 91 made like 350 to the wheels lasted two different owners and one really beating it hard was machined properly with comectic gasket cracked a sleeve before lifting the head

You have a very underrated channel mate

So the COP conversion basically just leaves the dizzy as a cam sensor? I hope someone makes a low-profile cap to make the whole unit smaller after gutting it.

I had a jdm d15b dual vtec on 10psi daily driven fun street car made alot of cars cry and got lots of props on the car i had an electric exhaust dump from 3inch to stock exhaust 1 & 1/2 inches shit was super quite untill the dump was open

And is this reliable? I mean i think of making 200-220 hp with an ebay turbo, intercooler etc. Is the engine strong enough to survive that?

Perfect narrator accent !!

how come theres no intake on the turbo inlet? like theres nothing at all even protecting the wheel??? im confused how turbo works on some cars i guess..on my car the turbo has an intake directly going to the inlet of the turbo...couldnt imagine ever leaving the wheel exposed

Love it! ❤ Very little engine, big Turbo! ✔

Nice video man how I love these small engines on boost 😍

Hey Tristan I have an EK1 sedan right now I can't boost it till next year and i'd like to do a few minor things to it in the meantime I'm getting a new full exhaust hopefully soon is there any decent mods as a P plater that I can do?

Awesome build! Love this.

more than you can afford pal!

Definitely seems like there’s a surface issue. Either block or head. I’ve had several of these motors. And have consistently ran them above 25 psi and well over 400hp on standard arp studs.

"The idea is to go unnoticed by the cops" while showing the plates

Is it possible to make something like this on d16v1 , VII gen civic ? 🤨

You dont need a whole lot of power to have fun, im sure this lil single jingle is a blast to drive. Im thinkin bout just turbo'in my 88 toyota celica that got a twin cam 3sfe camry engine on low boost lol hope it doesnt blow but, not a whole lot of aftermarket for toyotas here in the states like honda unless I save up and get 3sgte. Cool build man, I love seeing people build engines people usually wouldnt build.

💪🏼gunzz blazzingggg

will pick this set up all day everyday! 255 on sohc!

Gotta love the fart can noise

I have a fully built y8 motor could someone tell me how much hp the factory/stock head studs can handle safely? I have arp head studs ordered but they will be a few months before they arrive so I’m gonna install some cheap studs for now while I’m doing the break in period.

Honed developments sells a water neck spacer with tapped npt holes for water temp sensors and turbo feed lines

Nice build but by the looks of it he could use some upgraded engine mounts.

I know you should never buy someone else's build but there's a '00 EX Civic running 10psi for $3,000 by me that I really want to pick up. Anything in particular I should look out for? Haven't owned a turbo car before, hence why I'm looking at buying that one.

Hey TT have you been having any over heating issues while racing or pushing it hard using the half rad?

I have my 97 civic ex at home just sitting collecting dust I need to turbo that thing

Nice turbo ,to nice to leave no guard on it.

Protect that billet wheel with a filter!

Should run a turbo guard. Don't want to destroy the engine or that turbo with any trash.

Love the video man. I’m always excited to see a new upload

This is so sick

Nice video! Can u make a video about the spark coils ?

Water from the tailpipe.fully tuned 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

Exhaust gonna fall off🤣🤣🤣 needs more hangers

I have a stock y8, with a lot of miles, and have been debating this for a while.
