I know this is an older video, but holy shit thank you for the super in detail videos dude. I just built my first engine/D series and that screw driver trick for the head studs saved me so much time.
I like watching people put motor together... I just love engines that much... especially underdogs... I'll never forget the first time I went for a ride in a boosted Mini-Me that was built. I remember one time we were driving along and it started making a clattering sound and I thought we spun a rod bearing or something and he was all nonchalant pullover. He threw a couple quarts of oil in it hopped back in the passenger seat and said let's go so I started it up it sounded fine... I was in awe. It ran for over another year at 32 lb of boost with a 60-1 in it. Oh I thought I'd bring this up. either I've been using my ring compressor backwards or you are. you're supposed to be able to tighten it up while the Piston is sliding in.
brings me back when I did my z6 build.. I had bisimoto valve springs and retainers a level 2.3 camshaft for turbo an nitrous elimates Vtec. acl oil pump wellpro fuel pump srt4 injectors arias pistons on a godspeed ebay turbo it did got around 410hp with 398whp.. I skipped a lot of other parts I had in it but good video bro
juan cindo that's what I was going for everybody just shows the beginning and the end and that's it I wanted to bring confidence to anyone that wants to build a engine
About to start my build here in Australia! D15B7 block is at the machine shop and D16Z6 head will be looked at soon, sourcing the bottom end from the states too
Will do! I will try to do a video of my engine build too, I would be happy to make 300+atw, it will run on E85 eventually so I need to work out what injectors to use and what fuel pump to use next Finding parts in Australia is proving to be difficult!
Nice engine build... just to give you a heads-up you're using your piston ring compressor upside down. When the horizontal band goes around the Rings it tightens the Rings a little tighter than the rest of the Piston making it easier to go into the block. Also really surprised you didn't clean the deck or the head before putting the head on.
Honda How To im starting mine. z6, vitaras and eagle rods. im taking the bottom end to the machine shop next week to get the cylinders bored and get the block notched. also i dnt think yu showed thr notching procedure, if yu had done it urself or not or how it looks. that would be something good to incorporate into your how to. ill be starting my videos soon on my build
Don't know if you did this before hand/off camera. Aren't you suppose to place the piston rings inside the cylinder first, use the piston to guide it in evenly, then measure the gap and file down until you reach a certain thickness? I remember having to do this on my wife's 03 Santa Fe and brothers '79 305 big block.
Alfredo Pacheco Jr You are correct. I set the ring gaps before I made the video. A lot of people have commented about that. I'm kind of beating myself up about it because I didn't think anybody would want to see it.
I don’t think he did that because it all come to building an engine he’s not going to admit it... but if your building an engine show everything .... that’s one major process to turbo engine building Good luck like the vids... ...
Taz Grant already checked the ring gaps before I started these videos lol. Sooo many people asked me about that. I should have just said something about it lol
jevvy boss it really all depends on what your building for. If its naturally aspirated then you can run a tight ring gap. If your running a little bit of boost you might want to widen the gap a bit. We are running alot of boost so our ring gap is really high. I would rather have this engine have a little bit of blow by than blowing out the rings. Thats what they make oil catch cans for lol.
Thanks for all the info. I was going to buy a d16 off of ebay to build but its obviously going to be dirty and used, and not like what you have in the video. Will i need to get it re sleaved or anything and should i shoot for cleaning it up to what u have in the video or is that even possible.
Depends on how much power you are looking for, anything under 300hp it would hold that no problem, past that on a d series, I would either sleeve it or send it off to css like we did
Drew K sorry it took so long. The video took weeks to upload the video kept corrupting every time I tried to upload it. but I kept at it and finally figured a way to get it out. it's missing some clips from the video, but it is what it is. I'm glad you like the video.
Definitely worth the wait, no worries here. Btw how much is Trent's build costing so far? And do you guys have an estimate for how much the whole build costs?
Drew K You know I will put up a build sheet for the next video and I will put it in there, it will be out a lot faster then this video. And it's a lot of money like I keep telling people they don't have to build a engine like this but he has money and this is the way he wanted it lol.
awesome Job man. could i get a list of all the mods categorized by each section of the engine block? im pretty new to this and i just want to research and learn about the parts you used. Thanks!

@@centraltexascivic7299 Instagram is kinda wierd but if you type in Honda how to in the search bar you will see some pictures and if you click on mine you should be able to click my profile from there
is the cam oem or aftermarket. how much was the short block it looks like its been sleeved? there another channel "boostedboiz" that built a d-series and they hire over 400hp at like 30psi but they drilled and tapped the block for b-series head studes
Kyle Arnold well the head is not stock. It has a stage 2 Brian crower turbo cam, and it has a full supertech valvetrain, so it has supertech valves, springs and retainers. And the block isn't sleeved, a company called Cylinder Support Systems did a guard in the block. And the Cylinder Support Systems can handle almost as much as sleeves. There's a 900hp s2000 running on a css block which is pretty cool.
What name brand rod bearings and piston rings did you use? I have rods and pistons ready, about to build by z6. Not sure on rings and bearings though? Thanks in advance!
Im a young enthusiast(15) and am very curious and how would you say eager to build my own engine as more of a learning tool(an old junkyard engine or whatso) the only problem is that i live in a apartment soooo... life sucks just cuz not being about to do car things(would you recomend me doing so)
he used the install tool upside down.The band closest to the end goes to the block ,that way it keeps the full tightness of the band on the ring.they're are also 3 protrusions on the bottom that helps keep the thin metal from going into the cylinder sleeve.he's right about the lube,use oil and lots of it.the rest of the build looks great.
Blia Thao to dial in a cam it all depends. Any cylinder head work, stuff like that. And with a bisi x that's a pretty agressive cam, so you would need to look into some engine management like a hondata s300

Blia Thao that's a pretty impressive setup you gotta let me know how that twin scroll works out I'm kind of curious. And that bisi cam that's what we were going to run but it was a little too aggressive for our street setup.
Blia Thao I would think someone would have to screw with your hondata to get that thing to run on that cam. Maybe screw with the timing a bit. I've never really screwed with a cam that insane before. Just pretty mild stuff.
Hi Honda How To, I am planning on running an eagle rod/vitara piston combo on my d16z6 with a fairly large turbo (gt3071r) and its pretty laggy up until 4k rpms. I was considering leaving the head stock, but I want to rev higher as the turbo will make good power on the top end. Which valve springs and retainers are you running? I have been having trouble on deciding what to get. Thanks!
Daniel Rangel we are running a full supertech turbo valvetrain, valves, springs, and retainers. And we are also running a Brian Crower stage 2 turbo cam as well, and it's ported and polished with a pretty agressive valve job. The head should rev over 8k with no problems. Maybe 8.5k that would be sweet. lol
Red Panda even stock tourqe would be good for a low boost setup. Over tourqe specs isn't really a good thing to do, but I did it because the engine is going to see over 20 psi of boost. And I'm not sure what you mean by calibrated the head?
Red Panda you bet. they make turbo kits specifically for keeping a/c. I've heard that you have to modify it a little bit but not much. All the cars I've ever turboed haven't had a/c.
It was fine, but I only torqued them higher because that's what ARP recommended, but if it's factory stuff, I would just go by what the book says. I have an app on my phone called Honda database, and it has all torque specs for each series of engines, super helpful!
Wow that's awesome! thank you for sharing your experience with us! I have an EJ8 that might blowup soon so I am gathering information for the rebuild and potential turbo set up.
master Yang I measured all the clearances before I made these videos. I get that a lot lol. Im actually from ND but im a die hard gopher fan. I just hate UND lol.
We used JE pistons, but you don't necessarily need to use such an expensive piston for your build. You could use Vitara pistons, they are reasonably priced, and strong
@@hondahowto Thank you. Also down in the threads i read about the Cylinder Support systems. the guard they added to the block. What actually do they add to make it better or reinforced?
@@Gezuzu23 if you got to their website it will tell you, it's like a block guard but it's more rigid and it's anchored into the block. They have engines that are creeping up close to 1000hp on stock sleeves. Pretty insane

@@declanosbourne62 i just got them from ebay. I think ebay gets alot of flack because everybody thinks that they only sell cheap Chinese turbo kits. Well thats not the case. If you look at ebay there is alot of high end performance places that sell their products through ebay just for ease of selling. Ive bought anything from eagle connecting rods to arp head studs to skunk2 intake manifolds from speed shops on ebay.
No it has JE pistons eagle h-beam connecting rods, and the cylinder head has a Brian Crower stage 2 cam with supertech valves, valve springs and retainers
@@matmanplays3613 block is stock, with cylinder support systems milled guard, and the head is stock, but it has full supertech valvetrain and a Brian Crower cam in it. I would recommend Cylinder Support Systems, they do some insane work, any they are reasonable on price.

caliboi1695 its not sleeved its kind of like a block guard but better. Its a company called cylinder support systems. It was only about 350 bucks and I have used them before and they are insane.
Slackerz Sincity no they are not. I gapped them myself before I made the videos and I kind of regret not recording it because I get that question a lot
Honda How To also... great video... watched all the parts. only thing I didn't get to understand was camshaft and timing. my car is in a shop getting motor replaced cause my last motor is knocking. question.... I have basic mechanical and learning deeply about rebuilding ect... should I keep my bad motor and attempt to rebuilt it myself by following these steps.
Adam Hiser you could sure try. chances are that on that old engine the crankshaft is bad. I'm sure it spun a bearing of some sort. But if you did want to you would probably need a different crankshaft. Thank you btw
Honda How To from you experience... is older cars now considered classics hard to keep racing due to parts available on market. I want to buy a Nissan skyline r32 hats your recommendation on old classic cars especially ones people will race.
Andy Smith more clamping force with forced induction stock head bolts will stretch under pressure and cause head lift, which will blow head gaskets all day. If your running turbo I would never run stock head bolts

Mindaugas Berteska to blueprint an engine. You measure every components clearences and make sure they are within spec. And most people balance all of the internals as well.

What measurements you used for piston ring gaps?
Don't know if you did this before hand/off camera.
Aren't you suppose to place the piston rings inside the cylinder first, use the piston to guide it in evenly, then measure the gap and file down until you reach a certain thickness?

did you check the clearance of ur bearings? or you just slap in a OEM size bearing no problem?
I measured all clearances, you never want to slap it together before checking. It's just gives you a piece of mind
I install my piston rod assembly in before installing the crank to avoid damage to crank. Plus much easier to install rod bearings. Just a tip.
he used the install tool upside down.The band closest to the end goes to the block ,that way it keeps the full tightness of the band on the ring.they're are also 3 protrusions on the bottom that helps keep the thin metal from going into the cylinder sleeve.he's right about the lube,use oil and lots of it.the rest of the build looks great.

Hi Honda How To,
I am planning on running an eagle rod/vitara piston combo on my d16z6 with a fairly large turbo (gt3071r) and its pretty laggy up until 4k rpms. I was considering leaving the head stock, but I want to rev higher as the turbo will make good power on the top end.
Which valve springs and retainers are you running? I have been having trouble on deciding what to get.
Thanks!
Daniel Rangel we are running a full supertech turbo valvetrain, valves, springs, and retainers. And we are also running a Brian Crower stage 2 turbo cam as well, and it's ported and polished with a pretty agressive valve job. The head should rev over 8k with no problems. Maybe 8.5k that would be sweet. lol
Daniel Rangel sweet!! do those valve springs come as dual or single? I may just go ahead and run those 👍
danieeelr96 they are single
How long can we drive boosted engine
what was the head calibrated to? also, the torque on the head for a small turbo, would 60-65 be sufficient??
Red Panda even stock tourqe would be good for a low boost setup. Over tourqe specs isn't really a good thing to do, but I did it because the engine is going to see over 20 psi of boost. And I'm not sure what you mean by calibrated the head?
Honda How To oh yeah, another question. would I be able to have A/C in my 97-98 civic with turbo?
Red Panda you bet. they make turbo kits specifically for keeping a/c. I've heard that you have to modify it a little bit but not much. All the cars I've ever turboed haven't had a/c.
Honda How To sweet. I don't wanna have to have no a/c for the boost and I'm also only trying to go to like 250 hp on my d16
Red Panda That is a very good number. You probably won't have to put very much money in to it to achieve that go goal.
Thanks for the info! Did you have to notch the block?
Rob Clark I sure did, the bottom of the sleeves and the crank girdle.
Ring question answered in this video
Thanks.
because of how flat the deck is, i assume it has a welded in block guard?
It's a custom block guard from cylinder support systems
Hey bro how did the 70 foot pound torque go? any problem? Or else was thinking of doing 60-65.
It was fine, but I only torqued them higher because that's what ARP recommended, but if it's factory stuff, I would just go by what the book says. I have an app on my phone called Honda database, and it has all torque specs for each series of engines, super helpful!

Wow that's awesome! thank you for sharing your experience with us! I have an EJ8 that might blowup soon so I am gathering information for the rebuild and potential turbo set up.
The D16Y8 might blow up, not the whole car. LOL
Christopher Wall well if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
How come u didn't plastic gauge the bearings? I'm also from mn. Thanks.
master Yang I measured all the clearances before I made these videos. I get that a lot lol. Im actually from ND but im a die hard gopher fan. I just hate UND lol.
Hey wats up man, i just wanted to know, what pistons did you use, or other options do i have, for reinforcing the build so i dont blow with boost.
We used JE pistons, but you don't necessarily need to use such an expensive piston for your build. You could use Vitara pistons, they are reasonably priced, and strong
@@hondahowto Thank you. Also down in the threads i read about the Cylinder Support systems. the guard they added to the block. What actually do they add to make it better or reinforced?
@@Gezuzu23 if you got to their website it will tell you, it's like a block guard but it's more rigid and it's anchored into the block. They have engines that are creeping up close to 1000hp on stock sleeves. Pretty insane
would the torque specs be the same on a d16y8? also what did you torque the crank cradle to?
It's_A_Daily_Thing they are all pretty close and I can't remember exactly what the torque was but I think it was right around 48 ft lbs
What music is that
I just got it off of non copyright music channel on TH-cam
Wonder how long it lasted with out the head dowels :/
Still running to this day, and it does have dowels
I didn’t see them in the video I even slowed it down
@@robertlambert7906 they were on the head, not the block. I've never built an engine without dowells.
Idk I guess if you say they are they are but I just don’t see them but I’ll take your work for it
Hey man..i know this video is old but I want to change my piston rings and need some but the dealer price are too expensive. Where you get yours. ? I have a D17A2 engine, civic, 75mm bore.

Ive used NPR rings several times and they work really well.
@@hondahowto ok but where did you get them..? From Nippon?
@@hondahowto ok thank you.
@@declanosbourne62 i just got them from ebay. I think ebay gets alot of flack because everybody thinks that they only sell cheap Chinese turbo kits. Well thats not the case. If you look at ebay there is alot of high end performance places that sell their products through ebay just for ease of selling. Ive bought anything from eagle connecting rods to arp head studs to skunk2 intake manifolds from speed shops on ebay.
did you use a used block or a new one
jaust57 used it used to be out of a 95 civic ex
Is all of it stock pistons and stock valve
No it has JE pistons eagle h-beam connecting rods, and the cylinder head has a Brian Crower stage 2 cam with supertech valves, valve springs and retainers
Summit has good ones
I feel like more lube should’ve been used and all the cylinders I’ve always lubed with transmission oil prior to piston install
Atf is a very good lubricant as well, I did wipe oil in the bores before I put the pistons in, I just didn't get it on camera
Where'd you get your block and heads from
Head
@@matmanplays3613 block is stock, with cylinder support systems milled guard, and the head is stock, but it has full supertech valvetrain and a Brian Crower cam in it. I would recommend Cylinder Support Systems, they do some insane work, any they are reasonable on price.
@@hondahowto thank you. I have a f22b2 accord wagon I'm trying to find a decent camshaft for know any brands that carry camshafts for that specific engine ? Or is it better to do a swap
@@matmanplays3613 I'm pretty sure they make a bunch of camshafts for f22s, it all depends on what kind of setup you want to run
@@matmanplays3613 I'm pretty sure they make a bunch of camshafts for f22s, it all depends on what kind of setup you want to run
Go Gophers!
How much was it to sleeve the block ?
caliboi1695 its not sleeved its kind of like a block guard but better. Its a company called cylinder support systems. It was only about 350 bucks and I have used them before and they are insane.
Honda How To awesome. Il check it out !
song ??
Are those pre gap rings?
Slackerz Sincity no they are not. I gapped them myself before I made the videos and I kind of regret not recording it because I get that question a lot
That was not a tap LMAO great vid bro keep it up
question....
what song is this?
Adam Hiser I have to did through my computer I will get back to you.
Honda How To
also...
great video... watched all the parts. only thing I didn't get to understand was camshaft and timing.
my car is in a shop getting motor replaced cause my last motor is knocking.
question.... I have basic mechanical and learning deeply about rebuilding ect...
should I keep my bad motor and attempt to rebuilt it myself by following these steps.
Adam Hiser you could sure try. chances are that on that old engine the crankshaft is bad. I'm sure it spun a bearing of some sort. But if you did want to you would probably need a different crankshaft. Thank you btw
Honda How To
from you experience...
is older cars now considered classics hard to keep racing due to parts available on market.
I want to buy a Nissan skyline r32
hats your recommendation on old classic cars especially ones people will race.
Adam Hiser the gtr has such a following behind it it would be impossible not to find parts
What all did u put in head ????
Brian crower stage 2 cam, supertech valves, springs, and retainers, and the head was port matched and polished, thats about it.
So what's the advantages of using headstuds over the factory bolts? Newbie question I know lol
Andy Smith more clamping force with forced induction stock head bolts will stretch under pressure and cause head lift, which will blow head gaskets all day. If your running turbo I would never run stock head bolts
To me it looks like u forget the dowels
Derrick Mitchell don't have to run dowell pins when you run head studs
Honda How To who told u that? That's false. The dowel pin main purpose is to prevent the head gasket from walking under load.
Thank
What's the parts list?
CSS block, JE pistons, eagle rods, ARP head bolts, Brian Crower camshaft, supertech valvetrain, Edelbrock preformer x intake manifold, Grams 1150cc injectors, skunk2 70mm throttle body, ACL orbital race oil pump, hondata 4 bar map sensor, ACL main and rod bearings, and it is tuned on e85 on a hondata s300 v3
did you gap the rings?
Ben Dover yes sir
hi don't you Blue print the engine, don't you messuremens of cilinder bores crank shaft?
Mindaugas Berteska to blueprint an engine. You measure every components clearences and make sure they are within spec. And most people balance all of the internals as well.
Honda How To sr i know what the blue printing the engine is, but i didn't sea in your video so you didn't do it or you just dont film it?
Mindaugas Berteska my bad dude. Yes it was blueprinted before the videos, I just never recorded it. We went crazy with balancing as well we even balanced the clutch and flywheel as well.
bro vape life
more vídeos :)
Long live the SOHC
You forgot the dowels
Um you didn't measure ring gaps and didn't bothered to plastic gauge bearings, bet he won't adjust the valves
Is it me or did he miss a bearing
Well it's still running to this day 🤣
vape !
brian taggart lolz
wouldn't build your car with this vid. its a good vid but not for beginners, missing some steops
morphinepk it was just to guide people in the right direction im going to be building a b series soon that will be full detail. Clearances ring gap all that good stuff
