- Civic Ek1 D16y8 Turbo
Hey Everyone, My names Hiren... I live in Auckland New Zealand. I currently own a 1997 civic ek1 lxi hatchback which came factory with the d16y4 (1.6litre non vtec in the nzdm) I have owned the car for 5 years and its been my long term project.
Started of with turboing the existing motor along with the car having a full paint job, spoon wheels the carbon bonnet and bootlid, the sr4 recaro seats etc.. currently its being taken to the next level which i have stripped it, caged it.. and in the process over the next 2 weeks putting in my new motor (d16y8) fullysleeved and forged with all the headwork and bisimoto camshaft gear etc. This project is a drag car and i am aiming to get into the 10s. The underdog single car d series motor is not yet been a big hit in new zealand.
Recently i did my engine bay and rear interier part of the car with a different colour, im pretty stoked with how it turned out !! attached is a photo
Look forward to posting photos and keeping everyone posted.
