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

I finally got my head, now i need help!!!

Post by agent_99 » February 09, 2004

i asked this on CHB, but i thought that maybe you guys would be able to help me and give me some input also!!!

m'kay, so i got my y8 head today (yah!), along with the intake and exhaust mani's. it didn't have a TB though. i was wondering if i could use my d15b7 TB till i got a y8, or is there a better honda TB (i heard talk about b18 TB's??).

also.. i have read many many mini-me swaps about either z6/b7 or y8/y7. but nothing about the y8/b7, is the intake manifold going to be an easy install?? or is it not worth my time???
i still have to get some gaskets, timing belt, p28, etc. so it's not a rush, i can wait for better parts!

since i'm on a roll i'll throw in some other questions..
i'm going to get a crower cam, most likely the stage 2 'cause i'll upgrade the springs, retainers and valve's. but do i need to get different rocker arms? (right term i hope).
and for the bottom end, (since i'll be running out of money) i have heard allot about the d16a6 piston's and rods, or d16a6 piston's with ls rods. what's some good input on that setup? what about the compression, would it be turbo safe (only 5-6psi)?

well, sorry for the long post, but any help will be greatly appreciated! and since i will be putting a junkyard turbo on in a year or so, any mod i do now i would like to be "turbo safe"
thank you!!! :)

you can use the d15 TB for the time being, its small as shit but it will work for the time being, i would get a Z6 tb if i were you.......and why not throw the skunk2 IM on there while you are at it....you wont need different rocker arms for the aftermarket cam, the LS rods on a D-series bottom end can easily handle 5-6psi
