Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

Buyer fell through on my old motor. Here's the specs.

http://www.newbieforces.com/files/ho...001%20(70).jpg


D16y8 about 4k miles on it now.
block posted
.10 over srp pistons
eagle rods
federal mogul bearings (.015 clearance)
fully rebuilt stock head w/mild port cleanup
arp head studs
y8 intake manifold
ls throttle body
All machine work on this motor is flawless.
All new bearings, gaskets, seals, ect. everything

This was my OWN motor, so I did the break in and all of that as if it were mine. When I moved, I didn't have a way of getting my car to Mn. so I parted it out.
When I took this out it had a small amount of smoke at idle. I was in a rush to get it out of the car and do the moving thing, so I never compression tested. I'm thinking either the rings in one cylinder lined up, or one of them cracked. It also has 3 cracked valve cover bolts. (thanks bamboo :P) Either way, I don't have a car for this motor, so $1000 is good for me. Located in Minnesota

*shakes fist* part it out! part it out! ;) i want the rods

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

I don't want to part it out because this motor is .10 over perfectly matched to the pistons and crankshaft is just dead on .0015 for the rods and mains, so if I part out one piece, I'm stuck with half of a custom motor. :P

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

plus if he was going to part it out you wouldn't be getting any of it anyway.

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

steve, put it in the EG, just long enough to bow up yo're cute little auto tranny.

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

No tranny with this I am assuming. I just ask because I was gonna build a D up and would need a trans too, but I can find one elsewhere I suppose.

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

Nope, the tranny I was using I got from Julio for free. It had a somewhat grind going into third, and when I took it out I felt it was only right that I pass the tranny along, so I gave it to Murdoc. :D

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

stealthy gimme a price shipped to 97006, maybe ill go this route in the near future.

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

Good price

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

where's 97706?

My wife has a pretty good shipping discount through her work, so I'd say $100 shipped anywhere and you can get it.

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

97006=Oregon :P

This guys a ------- scammer so everybody watch out. I bought a crackpipe off him 3 months ago and still nothing!!! Scammer!!!! :P

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

Really? You should notify the moderator. ;D

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

1000 and it smokes...BOO :thumbs down:....does that include installation for MN buyers :P

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

$1000 won't get you the rods, pistons and the machine work that this thing has on any other motor. Now you can get everything all you "I'm gonna build a D series" people need for $1000.
When you think of rods, pistons, posts, machine work, new oil pump, water pump, t- belt, gaskets, seals, distributor, powdercoated valve cover, bearings, rings, cost of a motor in the first place, blah blah, you just can't do it.
Now you buy this, take it all apart, inspect everything, possibly change the rings, put it all back together, and technically, YOU did build it. You'll find it's alot easier than putting all of this together in the long run.
I can always take it all apart for you, give it to you in pieces, and then you can do it the traditional way. But you still can't get what this has for $1000. :-*

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

what turbo setup was ran on this motor @ what psi and how much poewr did it make?

I know a guy that might be interested in this....

nathan

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

stealth: stock oil pump?

heard the y motors are weakass in the oil pump dept, and like to spin rod bearings.

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

The oil pump is some sort of Nascar pump made for high rpm for long durations. :P

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

I've been scared of the oil pumps on these things for a while, thats why I went with a little looser bearing clearance on it.
This was used with a t3 48/60 afc, 450's, custom coach, blah blah.
13.84 @10psi (couldn't get homedepot couplers to hold more)
New couplers, untuned on afc at 16.5 psi 235whp/222tq.

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

How bad was it smokin at idle

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

From what I seen, it wasn't smoking bad at all. I think Steve is just being a bit paranoid about it because he doesn't want to rip anybody off by selling it as a "perfect" motor when it "might" have a problem. From what I seen it could have been the turbo smoking , or maybe even running rich from the gay ass fuel management he was using(AFC). :-\

steve will you be around saturday?

i can come pick it up then

does it come with the wiring harness and ----

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

Dr Boost was there. It only smoked a little while sitting idle. When driving it didn't smoke at all. It COULD have been the turbo, but I'm not one to bank on that to tell you it's perfect. I'd rather say "this or this" COULD be wrong and sleep well at night.

The motor doesn't have a wiring harness, but it has all sensors, intake manifold/throttle body/, valve cover, obd0 distributor, wires. Oil pan is tapped. Uh, what more is there?

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

stealthmode give me a call @ (715)-790-0489 name is nathan (duh)

we can go over details

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

what rings did you use in it?? If you used low tension rings (which are meant for boost) it would smoke at an idle which is perfectly fine

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

I used the je rings that was listed on the srp piston site as the turbo pistons indicate. The smoking didn't occur for the first 3k miles, so I doubt it was normal, I just don't know what it was.

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

I give you 500 hundred cash money delivered...
































oh wait I wasn't done... and a bucket of KFC 8) Just to sweeten the deal, or we could co with tha gangsta Chruch's chicken and I'll toss in a couple honey biscuits. ;)

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

Murdoc, this thing may be gone soon. I know with the right couplers you would've been toast. ;)

I'm gonna trailor my next project to your front door so we can run for slips. 8)

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

hahaha... still socal's fastest... 8)














































and n/a too! :o :D

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

I'm definately interested, though I only have a single vote on eBay to vouche for being a good buyer. :P

PM me your number and we'll talk.

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

So, what's going in the new car? I remember you were working on this motor for quite a while. Can't wait to see the new build. Just put seatbelts in it this time, please. ;) BTW: I emailed you about a few parts I still need. Let me know.

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

chances are that i'll be picking it up saturday :)

w00t w00t

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

pm'd my number.

Russ, the new build is slowly getting there. We're gonna do an ls/vtec bored out to 2.0liter (fully built), gsr head, going with ball bearing turbo this time for sure. 16-17 psi :-\
I'll put a seatbelt in there for you. :D (some guys didn't even get a seat)(donald125) 8)

I pm'd you about the parts

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

If it's any consolation to you, (donald125) there was only one bolt holding my seat in... and that one was loose!

Thanks Steve!

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

you have no freaking idea how scary it is when there are no interior. no seats. and you are sitting on the floor panel WHILE SOMEONE RIPPING OVER 90 on a local street :-X :-\

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

Quit yer bitchen. ;D

(That was the first night I met you too) lol

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

Yeah! Steve and I had known each other for about a year so I got a seat and loose bolt. Give it some time and he'll show you the same kinda love. ;) I think I'm up for two loose bolts and a zip-tie sometime soon! :P

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

how bout a payment plan steve-o!! ;D

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
 

I already tried that. I have two interests in it right now. One of them will come through. ;)

Re:Fully built D16y8 with 4k miles
