I'm starting my second vitara build and wanted to know if anyone has done one in a wagon yet
it's a D16Y8 motor
this should be fun my other build was a 99 civic putting down over 400hp at 30 psi

    it should be the same as your first build. the only different is you will have to go to obd1 if you are tuning with crome, hondata, or ectune. im not sure if you have a shot to tap for the intermediate shaft if it is a rt4wd.

    OK, I've been wondering this so I have to expose my ignorance. WTF is a Vitara build? :lol:

    Short answer... Suzuki Vitara's use pistons that fit into D16's, using them lowers compression just right for a turbo kit and from the info I've gathered, Vitara pistons are a little stronger than OEM Honda. Plus they are inexpensive!!

    I went and checked my block and it doesnt have the bolt holes for the shaft
    I guess I'm going to have to make a mini me with my A6 block with my y8 head
    Does any one know what head studs I should use with that setup?

    I think these work for the Y8 also http://shopping.lightningmotorsports.com/customer/product.php?productid=53&cat=227&page=1

    if remember right using the y8 head in the a6 block, one of the arp head studs have to be a different length. i believe it was 7-a6 or z6 and 1-y8 head stud. someone correct me if i am wrong.......
