thats a great deal i'd get it




the d16y7 is by far my favorite d-series motor. i got a a6 mani on mine pulls good. i think there is some guy on here named d16y7 he got a sweet build

stillnoturbo

What is it going into? I like the y7 but it still have the oiling problems as the rest of the y series motors. My y7 lasted a good 3 months running 14 psi. Then spun a bearing but I still drove it for another 3 months and ran like a champ under 3k. lol. Over 3k...knock..knock...knock..

WTF

ya it seemed like a good deal, anyone heard of this oiling problem with the y motors? i was reading some ---- about modded oil pumps and someone mentioned using a z6 crank

i think somones gona give me 900 for my ls swap then i shoulda have money for this build, i dont really know how much to expect to pay for machine work though

WTF

you posted that right when i was, ya im a little worried about this oiling ----, i wanted to make like 250whp if i built it, its going into a 96 LX 4door currently has a ls swap , i actually have a turbo setup ready to go on then i got this motor free

So what better pump can you go, is there even an afermarket one available? It must be soo common on the ys cause iv just got hold of 2 with spun rod bearings.

the y7 intake mani belongs in the garbage. the d16y8 has a much better design for airflow

if you want to swap manifolds, use a manifold gasket for the manifold you're using, and use the throttle body gasket for the TB you're using

some general info if you do want to swap... auto y8's are pnp to the y7, manual y8 manis can be used, but you need to block off the air injection and iacv holes while using an auto tb, or your y7 tb with the throttle rotor and spring swapped over. PM me if you need more clarification/help with this matter.

yes, the y series have shitty oil pumps, but you can port out the holes for better flow, here is a link to a DIY for oil pump porting. enjoy

You are a ------- champ. Looks like ill have a go at that then.

WTF

i read that ---- about the pump, the block has bad oiling too tho i thought

if my car is already wired and throttle cable setup for a LS cant i just use whatever manifold, like a z6?
