if ur willing so spend money i would get a d15b vtec, awesome lil motor, un less u r planning to boost or r u boosted? i do not know. anyways if u plan on staying n/a for awile i recommend that motor

Viet · POOP Bum

right now I have a boosted z6. Any d16 will do, but another z6 will do.

I dunno if i really wanna get an out of state motor because shipping will be a bitch for it.

Viet · POOP Bum

Danny said

He has a D16 Y8(vtec motor) Head is great one new piston all new rings has a knock in the bottom end and it might need valve seals........

50 for the block

150 for ever thing

Let me know so i can tell him

turbocivic · Civic

did you try lookin on turbod16? there was usually a few d16's for sale on there.

bjscivic · Veteran Member

I don't know of a y8 that doesn't knock over time. LoL Especially boosted, high milage, etc.

Minnesota aka Minnesnowta or Minnecolda here checking in.

I'm swapping soon....before I move down to Orlando and join up w/ Neal aka mimi03gti. I'll keep the y8 after the swap of course so if you still need one when I finally get down there I'll hook ya up. It's pretty much in need of a major overhaul though. It's been through it's days. Deal ":cough cough:" LoL

P.S. I can't wait to get down there!!!

I believe he just needs the block

superdewey58 · Senior Member

Viet · POOP Bum

right now i just need something....cuz i got bad news. My luck is the best for **** to happen. What that means is that my motor decided to give up on me like a little douche bag. so yeah i really just need a working motor.

yeah so i need something like now ... lol

THE PRESIDENT · see above

so its done? did it blow up?

Viet · POOP Bum

i think it spun a bearing. it still fires up and all, but you can here something bouncing around inside the motor. its slow as balls to even in boost lol. All I know is that its not a good sound. But there is good news though... jon has a nice little piece to show you guys!

"$50 bucks for a local pickup. since i do not work at my dad's shop anymore, this thing is going to rot this winter unless someone takes it from me soon. if any of you nc, tn, sc, va, guys would like to own a z6 shortblock that came out of a running car for fifty measly dollars, please feel free to get in touch with me and you may take it off my hands. it's got the oil pan on it, the breather box is on it. the water pipe and thermostat housing is on it. please come get this thing and save the sohc's"

this guy lives in NC

Viet · POOP Bum

man i wish i lived in NC I'd pick it up.

superdewey58 · Senior Member

yea that would be a serious drive like 26 hr round trip i think

Viet · POOP Bum

So yeah i got a hold of Dan's y8 motor, but theres this giant hole in the back of the block. looked like there use to be something like a freeze plug or something. I looked the service manual and I think theres this oil breather that goes there. I just wanted someone thats knows something that can verify that. I rather be 100% sure before I do something stupid.

If its for an oil breather is it alright to just put some type of filter over it so it isn't wide open.

call a dealership or get a helms manual

the "y" generation blocks are more proned to spun bearings. basically due to smaller oil passages, it does not flow as much a z6... i reccomend doing something like this

What you're talking about is where parts of the stock PCV system used to be. As far as plugging it or simply putting a filter on there somehow....I don't know if that's good or not. I've heard of people w/ boost gutting out the stock pcv valve and using it as a fitting to run a line to a vented catch can. Under boost on a honda, the pcv system is usless anyways cause it's a vacuum operated valve. Lots of info regarding this on turbod16.com.

yeah the thing i that i dont have the valve. its just a gapping hole. i think I'll see if I can get somethign to plug it or some how run a catch can from it.

oh I've got a honda service manual. it was just a little hard to follow the diagram.

I would try to find a stock black plastic box that plugs into that hole. That way you wouldn't have to worry about trying to custom fit something there. I would also get a PCV valve from the dealership.....gut it out by jamming a screw driver in there & poping all the internals out ie: the valve, spring & a few other tiny pieces. From there you can use the pcv valve as the fitting to run a hose to a catch can. Then also run a hose from your valve cover to that catch can as well.

No more crank case pressure related issues anymore after that. That seems to be a fairly big deal w/ turbo hondas. Plus no more dirty, burnt up oil being dumped back into your intake track. Just make sure you get a vented catch can and not one of the sealed ones. A perfect example would be the one the Endyn makes.

If you haven't checked out turbod16 or honda-tech yet, do so. You'll find so much info on how to do it right for turbo d projects.
