max power made on stock internalls d16
 

hi guys, noob here! im new to honda but have been tuning/drag racing a small french car for some years and know my way around turbo cars just fine.
i have a question im trying to find some clarity on, id be gratefull for any help.

im trying to find the most powerfull proven d16 on full stock internalls, i.e pistons/rods/sleeves/head everything.
im currently collecting bits for a d16, and am keen to keep the internals stock to prove it real limits, i cant stand changing things on "hearsay" its not my style, and i did very well in the with my other project on full stock internalls much to the supprise of people saying certain componants are only good for xxxbhp.

no predicitions please, and im only really interested in trap speeds, as im sure you know as well as me rollers are hit and miss with figures.

thanx team, like the site, its deffo what im about, thinking rather than just throwing money and hoping. ;)

hi, just turbo and manifold. (cheap ebay cast mani, and kung-foo turbo ;) (57trim, to4e) i realise the turbo may fail premature but im willing to risk it for the price, plus its not my daily car, just a drag project. and on my last car and had a few garretts fail so i believe turbos (when worked hard 30psi+) arnt reliable full stop! though i did purchase a garret gt series (bb core) in the end which was strong, but im not spending that again. as for chassis i should be picking up a 94` civic esi tommorow. not sure if you have this model in the states (im in the uk).

When people are boosting stock engines that have 160k on em and are 10+ years old there are too many factors to say what the highest level attainable is.

If you did a full rebuild with OE parts who knows what it would be. If you want a lot of power then spend the money if not, then just stay low on the hp

Which D16? Vtec or Non? There have been guys claim to reach 200 with stock guts but don't expect that to last long and Hondas are way different from your french car. Say take a Dodge V6 with stock cast pistons and detonate for months on end no worrys... Detonate that stock aluminum Honda piston once and see ya. Tuning is everything but you can only tune those little weeny honda parts so far they have limits. And I am a Honda guy I love the damn things but lets face it those engines are like little paper engines. I wouldnt suggest drag racing paper machete or using any of that cheap crap on Ebay.
