Building a NA engine.

[Tyler2453]

well thanks for the info...but im not willing to put another engine in the car...not enough funds for that, i have only about $1200 to spend on it.

i would like a list of a few more parts that will get some more power out of the car. I talked to a few people and they say to put; cams,high compresion pistons and a throttle body....all this is for time attack, autocross and canyon runs.

Welcome to SHO.
This question has been asked more than 3 times in the past week or 2.
Run a search and you will find out EVERYTHING you need to know.

Unfortunately to get a decent amount of power out of the D-series engine you have to either boost it, or throw thousands and thousands of dollars into it (if planning to keep it N/A)
Even with the mods you have now, you're lucky to get 15whp out of it.

a d16y5 isnt the best d-series to mod anyways. its a vtec-e (economy). it runs on 12 valves instead of 16 under 2500rpms

Which can be overridden.

fixed that for you

anytime baby bear. just swap the damn motor for the price it would cost to make any real power with that d-series. d-series n/a is pointless and a waste of time. it was built for pure economy. the price it would take to make any real hp n/a with that motor you could buy and build another car that would actualy go fast. unless you boost that thing. give up on any real gains

I only spent about $1300 on my N/A build. I put more money into my drivetrain than the motor. And now I have a motor that revs to 9800 and is 200+whp

you spent 1300 dollars on you're n/a d-series and you're making 200whp? show me a dyno graph. the only thing you have listed is i/h/e, a fuel rail, intake manifold fpr and s200. you have a built head? what do you have? you would need a cam high ass compression ratio and a nice tune and some serious valve work to pull 200whp out of a d-series. and all the mods you listed prior to a built head exceed 1300 dollars.
200whp pretty much unstreetable with that motor

Yeah, I find that hard to believe.
