I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

y8

Post by homere » November 01, 2005

I ordered my new motor the other day and no it is not a b series. I know im disappointed too but i just dont have the cash to do a complete swap, and i just want my car back already. I did step up from a y7 to a y8 though so vtec should be a bit of a difference. I have big boost plans for the old motor including eagle rods and srp pistons. I havent decided on what sort of turbo setup to run yet but i need to get some more money before i think about that just yet. Or i am just going to save my money and get a b series i havent decided yet, suggestions are appreciated.

well, if the y8 isn't going to be your permanent setup, I wouldnt pour any money into it. Just build up the motor you are going to use for boost.

well actually i was thinking about that but i really need my car and i just didnt have the time to rebuild it. Plus i probably will stick with the y8 and say screw the boost. I will more than likely just drive it how it is, work a lil more and buy something different maybe an integra gsr or something like that, possibly an si.

seems like you need to figure out what you want for sure.
