your best mod for the money would be to throw in some ZC pistons or D16a1 pistons. You'll get more power out of that and a good cam then ALL of those other bolt on's combined. There's really no reason to do a complete bolt-on SOHC motor....unless you raise the compression.

Good build using basically only stock parts:
Dohc vtec throttle body
D16Y8 intake manifold

ANY 1.6 block (all have same bore/stroke) but best is D16Y8 because of it's lower miles
ZC or D16a1 pistons
D16y8 head

with that combination you're looking at over 13:1 compression.
Couple that with a sick cam and a nice header, you're looking at 160-170 WHP
Dont waste youre money on aftermarket manifolds, fuel rails, ignitions, injectors, etc.

The D16Y8 block throws rods like no other D16 block. A c/r of 13:1 isn't going to fly on the street. He'll be lucky to see 160whp with that setup.

Go check out some of high horsepower Ds over on D-Series.org. Builthatch is one example, a D16Y8 with P29 pistons, c/r of 12.25:1, Crower Stage 3 cam, quality port and polish, valve job, SMSP prototype header, Skunk2 IM, and I forgot what intake and exhuast. He's in the 150whp range on 93 octane.

you just said exactly what i said.
D16Y8 w/ ZC (P29) pistons
i think 160 is doable with tuning.

All the SOHC D16 blocks are the same except for the pistons.
