The D16Z6 engine is a great engine to build for turbo applications because of the following reasons: – Z6 Oil Pumps are solid – Ease of Tuning as it’s made for the OBD1 ECU – Top end power is great for turbo builds – Crank is good up to 600HP – P08 Cylinder Head with [...]
After friday night’s Mission Raceway drag racing event, I put a 360 spin on my idea of doing the bodywork first and instead will invest the time into a turbo setup. Before I actually go through with it, I will do some research and post what I come up with. My Goal is around 200HP with my stock D16 engine. [...]
This is my first drag race video at Mission Raceway with my 1993 Honda Civic. The video of the 16.40 quarter mile time was too shaky so this one will do. The time was 16.54 @ 85MPH for quarter mile.

After all that work yesterday I knew I would find a solution soon because I was running out of things to check. Today I went to the parts store and picked up some new NGK spark plugs, NGK ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor, fuel filter and a radiator cap since my old one disintegrated [...]
The car still stumbled today at WOT so I swapped the throttle body which included the MAP Sensor and the Throttle Position Sensor but unfortunetly it still stumbled after that. Just to be sure there was no difference in the IACV I also swapped the IACV(Idle Air Control Valve) from my D15B7 to be sure that had [...]
Saturday – Final assembly, fluids and startup Today I started with hooking up the gear shift linkage and mounted the exhaust. Then I mounted the drive shafts and put the suspension back together. I hooked up the remainder of the heater hoses and mounted the radiator and then filled it with antifreeze and water mix. [...]
Friday – Ready engine and mount up in engine bay Today I got the engine ready for mounting and decided to use my original D15B7 engine mount and bracket. The power steering bracket on the other hand is one that I got from the wrecker from a D16Z6 engine. Installing the engine back into the [...]
