Havnt updated this thread inna bit...heres some new pics/

Nothin much different going on there, but i have a new motor project here:
D16y8, had about 100k miles, got it for a steal. Getting the oil pan and valve cover next week sometime. But heres some pics of the tear down.. Block is going in to be bored out to a 1.8L, and sleeved.
The head, I have some cams, adjustable camgear and valvesprings and retainers going in probably inna week or so. Then out comes the y5, in with the Y8..then boost

More new pics..nothing much really going on. block will be hot tanked today and cleaned up for some new paint. The head at its current state running a lil lean? yup.

I talked to a guy last year at a local Honda Tech meet that was pulling mid 300's. I hope you hit that point. That would be sick!

yeah ive seen OEM internal'd d16's with boost, 8 lbs, hitting around 200-215 which is just crazy with stock internals!!

But, as far as internals go, heres my thoughts:

Head:
Skunk2 valve springs and retainers (already have them, they're on the Y5)
Crower stage 1 or 2 cam for boost app.
Vision adjustable cam gear or AEM true time cam gear (i have the vision, but dont think its that acurate)
Not sure on valves, probably keep the oem ones, but get them resurfaced.

Block:
Bored (1.8L) and sleeved
Not sure on pistons yet..any suggestions?
Get the crank resurfaced (it was scored from the spun bearing)
Eagle rods (as usual)
ACL main + rod bearings
new piston rings (not sure on brand)

but again, nothing TOO spectacular, but itll be a fun project. only thing im really not sure on yet is tuning/management. thats a big investment so im taking my time deciding on that one!

But comments/critisism is welcome on the list..and im definatly taking opinions on parts. so LMK!
