I have a 98 Civic Ex with a b16y8. i was wanting to swap it out with a dohc gsr motor would that fit without to much hassle i need an upgrade from my engine that i have now its getting high on miles and i need to start saving its turbod and so will be the swaped engine when i get it help me out with a good swap if not a gsr at least some DOHC  

why not turn some real heads and drop a fat boy h22 in it thatll get some attention and bring but loads of fun to your driving life.. then turboon that and you got a nice ride    

you have the first b16y8 i've ever heard of. but what the fack are you asking for help or aprroval.  

yea the y8 come in the ex models my buddy had the same one in his 00 civic ex  

hahah lude you dummy lol j/k  he said B16Y8 hmmm B16 isn't that the dohc sir motor.. and the d16y8 a sohc motor..  

it is a d16y8 sory for the typo but im just asking for advice on what is a good motor that i can make it run real quick when i turbo it. i have heard i can get them down to 11's in 1/4 but i dont know  

getting a FWD car to 11 seconds it really tough. you will have to have like 400 hp to get that. 13 is respectable. go with either a b16 or b18C1. you can build those to handle some serious boost. but unless you have got like 30000 buck I don't thiknk you will be seeing 11 seconds  

eh huh see i figured it was a typo thas why i said d16y8 i knew they came in the ex models.. any way.lol.. it has been done plenty of times before however it is costly to get a sohc motor really fast.. running an 11 sec 1/4 via turbo hmm wouldnt take too much i believe if you go with a b18c or h22. dont skimp get it sleeved good pistons rods some valvetrain figure in a good trustable turbo kit hks or greddy maybe. i cant stress the dont skimp on part thing enough though. you can build a motor that will send you down the track at those times but its up to you and a good tranny to keep consistant. however as sav said it wont be cheap.  

to have an 11 second car your going to need a lot more than just horsepower and torque. it is going to cost a great deal of coin. 13 second cars are still respectable and hella streetable and can be done with the d-series that your car came with.  

thats true, you will need some big slicks, with dounuts in the rear, a really solid strong clutch, and a gear box that can take a beating of a life time.
