Scorchsta's Civic Update

[Scorchsta]

Well I was on my way home from school to MA when I shot a rod through my block. Got a big chunk missing under the intake manifold. Serves me right, I was boosting way too much on the stock internals. 15psi on a T3/T4 57trim. I had just ran a 13.5@105 last weekend.

So anyone selling a block?

I'll get pics up when I find a camera.

oh oh I have a b16a3 block.

Wait, 15psi and only a 13.5? I think it was the tune that was off, not the boost.

13.5 seems a little slow for 15 psi
pics?

You realize that you have to tune a turbo motor right?

Wtf car does the B16a3 come in?

Del Sol VTEC y0!

Haha it was tuned very well actually. 12s AFR in boost and conservative timing. It was at 15psi because my motor was very not healthy. I didn't do a compression test but I bet it was in the low 100's across the board. The car had never been tuned up or probably never even had an oil change before I got to it at 140k miles. I've been boosting for about 10k and am not approaching 170k.

Can I mount the Y7 head onto that B16 block I want to just get a shortblock. Preferably a Y7 but a Y8 will work too. Pics to come soon.

I find a 13.5, on 15psi, to be about right. It's not a type-r motor or anything, I'm surprised it didn't pop earlier.

Good luck on finding a motor though!

Sounds right on street tires a with bad 60'.

I have a seized d16y8 block for cheap; spun a bearing but i don't believe there was any damage. If you're interested I will take it apart to make sure
