She hasnt even been started up yet since the rebuild. SO nervous! THis week im finish off a few little things, bolts, clamps and giving her a once over, and she will be getting tuned next week. Dyno dave is going to help me out, and is really the only guy i trust with my D's life !

After the break in im looking at pushing ~18psi out of her and revving to around 8-8500rpm. I think my intake manifold is going to hold me back at the moment with topend power, but i want to see a nice meaty power curve. It took me forever to find this gt2871r, and ive know it can produce an awsome street/strip power :)

My goals are around 110mph on the 1/4mile and ~200kw. Ive got the setup, its just a matter to see if she holds together. D-series is know for there tempramental timing problems.

I know ive got a whole heep to say, but thats all i can think of at the moment. All i know is guys, D-series can make the power that dreams are made of, do go throwing it away!

Enjoy the pics!!

motor mount inserts. awsome for keeping the engine from flexing and prevent wheel hop!. Made of prothane! But they make everything vibrate like shit. lol its funny! I have the complete set for all 3 engine mounts.

[Weq]

Total money spent?? i dunno. Not as much as u think though. I have a totally rebuilt engine. I prolly have around 7k into it... plus the money i made by selling all my old stuff.... but im hella tightass and she hasnt been tuned yet... :) Dave is where my hard earned money is going to go, and he is going to make this thing breath fire (please??) I look for the best deal on everything. I dont mind waiting for the mail and chacing it with customs, as long as its quality and a good price! Customs wise, i paid about $300 total for everything u see. turbo/manifold/pistons/rods/gate/injectors/pump etc...

[91OOM]

far out that is awesome man :)

It's great

[mini_s2000]

well done, make the most of it now!

[Weq]

hey mate, jus wondering how much u spent turbo'ing ur car n if u think its worth it,
i got the same motor as u, same car lol n jus wondering wat i should do. turbo or b16a....also whered u get ur turbo kit?

Turbo your D-series. THe power u will make will beat those B-series no worries. Stock motors are happy at 10psi with 440cc injectors. A D-series on 5psi will beat a stock b16a. D-series is cheap to blow up, cheap to built. WHy spend b-series 1500 on a tranny? u could get a a spare d-series engine, transmission and forged internals for that price! lol... Na b-series has its place, and will make more power per PSI. But all im saying, it dont give up on the d so quickly. CHeckout www.turbo16.com for inspiration!

[Weq]

thanks for the comments guys. Ive been driving this lazy Liberty B4 for months now, and i reallly want to feel that turbo vtec again. Its so much fun. THis weekend i will be tightening everything up and hooking up my water lines. Its going to be ready for breakin next week! James is helping me out heeps, getting a tuner to come and start the car with my mechanic, so everything is spot-on during the critical breakin stage.

[paulosportz]

wow, very nice
keep us informed with the reesults

[mini_s2000]

better keep the braking system up to date now!

[Weq]

im looking at some teggy gear. Ive seen good results from a set of brembo slotted rotors which are stock replacments though. maybe a willowood big brake kit? To be honest though, i dont track it, and i never fadded before. with the old kit. I havnt increase the wait much at all, which means stopping capcity hasnt been hampered. But its always good to have extra protection.

Suspension is next on the agenda. Im looking at some Tein Flex's with EDFC! I think these babies would be badass for drag racing, with control of damper incabin. great for in between runs. Plus i'll be able to fit some slicks in there incase i dare to dritch the DR's.

[faijai]

WOW!
dats awesome!
I wanna trade in My B for that!!

[zco]

this cooler is dieing to be black. dont oyu think WEQ ?
http://members.optusnet.com.au/loxy/car/turbo/new_setup/install/intercooler/complete.jpg

i say .. hold the OPEN DAY AT WSID until next week.. or at least until WEQ gets his car up and running properly.. i wanna see this animal run !

[michael_antoi]

ultimate sleeper man, looks awesome!

[2MPRSS]

oh im drueling bro,very nice D ,cant wait to give you a run when im finished with mine :D

[jackosimm]

hell yeah! nicely done mate, very impressive:thumbsup:

[nedgeworth]

Love it man :D

Cooler definitely needs to be black

[Jase EK]

wat you do with your head ?

[epren]

nice build
hows the tranny? got lsd?
i reckon you need slicks :)

[Chi]

I heard spraying the intercooler black will add heat issues.

Anyone care to clarify?

[Weq]

capacity is almost stock. on a lil bit gained through the overbore. I needed as much sleeve as i could with the pressure im gonna give it..

LSD is on the cards. its exxy to get a quaife, but OBX has just realesed a copy which ppl seem to be giving rave reviews (unlike there normal stuff!) I hear the traction u gain is HUUGE. Definatly on the cards. Clutch is a custom 4-puck prung with pressure plate.. Im kinda hopeing that this doesnt cope, so i have an excuse to pull her apart ;)

Thanks for the feedback. Zco, defaintly want to take her down WSID. SOme street legal DR's and see how she does. I dont know how my tranny with like the slicks, but its an option later when i get sick of fwd traction issues :)

AS for the cooler black. i dont know.. lol.. i like that little mouth up front. I love the looks when ppl see it. they always look twice - "Damn man, that honda is turbo..." WHen im out hunting kills it goes unnoticed though.. hmmmmm..

http://members.ozemail.com.au/~captanis/turbo/install/towing.jpg
This is what it looks like with the bar on.. those endtanks look at bit gay actually.. had no piping then though..

CHi: yeah if u paint is wrong u can loose efficency. U gotta make sure u spray a thin layer, at an acute angle so u dont coat the insides of the fins.

[nedgeworth]

It's great to see someone keeping the D :D

No doubt you'll keep us updated with the numbers that are to come... i wanna boost mine damnit!

[jdmlvn]

turbo hardly noticable...i woulda got a c32b conversion??:D bahahaa

[hoonda]

keep us posted, esp when you get some dyno or 1/4 mile times, will be very interested to c how it goes!

i wasnt game to turbo my d16 when i had it, had to go with reliability of the b16 swap...

[Weq]

wat you do with your head ?
whatdya want to know? specs are listed on the first page! ;)

[Fit1500_GD3]

Looks good.

[SHWCARCIVIC]

nice build and pics :thumbsup:

[_CiVIC_]

Weq if you want TEIN's wait till they open up in Aus.. it will cost much cheaper to get the sussy setup rather than paying an importing fee to get them from japan..

I'm waiting till they come here too so i can get the basic flex for my teggy typeS.. i heard TEIN is coming around september/october'ish

[SPEEDCORE]

Weq...... let me know how much you end up sourcing the OBX for before jumping in over the quaife. PM me if you want.


BTW.... given that I am a N/A whore I have said it before and I'll say it again, I love turbo D's. Who did your headwork?

Looks at egSi... :p *hint hint*

[bennjamin]

move to appearenc/gallery.

Looking hotness Mr Weq :)

[LVNIT]

Wow its all finally come together, congrats! Cant wait to have a looksie when your out and about down here :)

Have you got an idea of how much power your looking to make? And 110mph on street tyres I presume?

[ORACER]

that sohc motor looks mean!
wow!!!!

Its been comming together for a long time now. I just bought a place and relocated to canberra, but i never gave up on her :)

streets.

Thanks for the compliments. It was always meant to be a mean streeter..

AS for the teins? i was looking at getting em from the US.

DSA00-6USS1 - $1285 shipped
EDKU1-12120 - $325

all USD. u rekon they will be cheaper here?? hell im looking at importing a PWR radiator. australian made and owned, but they retail for 760 here! USD no more then $300shipped! thats crazy stuff.

And to all the NA guys who are looking at the thread, if u like what u see, i can get CAI kits. Its cheap, and and i mean cheap. same for the cooler kits, just PM me and u'll be surpirsed - all local!

THe walbro pump was from a friend in the US. THey go for about 90-110~shipped off ebay or most places in the US. THere is a place local who sell em, 170AUD shipped. cant remmber the name though!!

[BiGANG]

very nice setup man, where did u get the manifold from?

[Weq]

its custom from a guy in the US.

[Lukezen27]

So nice So nice :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


And about time to, I've been waiting to see this setup for ages :p

I'm looking at turboing my D16Y1 so be on the lookout for PMs heheh

LukeZen

[jdmcivic]

Nice ride man. I want it. lol.

[ProECU]

Nice work Weq, very impressive.

The point here is that tuebo setups can be done relatively cheaply, if you are game enough to fabricate your own intake piping, and spend a little time sourcing the right components.

I've also found the lesser "ricey" exhaust places do just a good job, if not better, than some of these in vogue shops.

Again, great result Weq. You wont be dissapointed with D.Daves tune.

[CivicGLi97]

That looks so fkin awesome bro..Congrats..cant wait to see some figures..I really like it, its tidy and it has that sleeperish look at the same time :)

[Scandrew]

Looks like it's going to be an animal Weq :thumbsup:

Vedi vedi nice.

[raff]

looks mad...good work!

is it on the road yet? if not when you planning to have it on the road?

[civlowwer]

Great work mate i hope it goes well for u

i want boost :(

[[[d a n n y]]]

very very nice weq
looking better than b4

[fusion_VTi]

i love this setup dude, 200kw from a single cam 1.6 is awesome!

[ah8118]

lookin good mate. enjoy the new setup!!!

[pornstar]

Awesome work Weq!

[Waggy]

Excellent job mate! I'm an N/A freak but after seeing what turbo Hondas can do - I think I'm being tempted by the dark side! :)

Keep it up!

[jimmeh]

Keep it up!

the darkside of the boost is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unatural.:D:D:D:D

[Dr4g0n]

noooo turbo honda's a sh!t!! don't do it!!...... coz then it makes em less unique :p

hehe, seems like there are heaps of turbo hondas running around. i've seen and know of a few in melb. but looks like everyone's catching on and going the turbo honda thing instead of conversion now. i remember the looks i used to get with my turbo d16 when people realised the cooler wasn't fake. :p

[Waggy]

I ain't swapping a B16A - I already consider it a good engine. So yeah, turbo is lookin like a good path for me. Maybe it's time to get rid of my "N/A is best" sticker and grab a "Boost is better" one! :D

[joey_kev]

wow!! sweet...good job

[Mr. Focus]

good to hear its finally come together for ya bro!

[typicalmale]

wow thats looking good,
man if only i had the money *sighs*

[lighty01]

DAts AWSOM! great work mate.. looks sweet and will chomp!.. nuthin beats vtec turbo!!

[Paul1985]

nice. i think because its a sedan, it looks like even more of a sleeper!
u have any probs importing from the USA? im just curious as i plan on importing a heap of parts in the near future from there but am inexperienced with it

[Lyle_Style]

sic manifold bro i want one!! hahaha puny radiator though man should get a thicker one

[Snoop_gee]

that width used for the manifold is massive i shouldn't see a problem with it but expecting 200kw who knows ay? Good job Weq, definately interested about ur contacts and prices.

[Weq]

Snoop, PM me if u need anything.

Paul, no problems at all. usps.com is the cheapest shipping around (just dont get surface mail, it sucks!). if ur stuff gets stopped as customs, just grab a 'invoice' from whoever sent it to u and u'll be set. tlel them also to keep the declared value as low as possible also..

As far as proress is concerned, the turner has been booked and its going to be started next saturday. I spend th day today fitting everything up and its all come together quite well. All thats left to do is to do one manifold bolt up (tricky) and do up the oil feed on the turbo (tricky). and then she is set!

[Paul1985]

Thanks for that info Weq, appreciated :thumbsup:
You must be absolutely dying to take her out for a drive. IMO the wait is well worth it, it makes u appreciate your car so much more lol

[Weq]

update;

after this weekend, my fuse is wearing thin, and i realllly want this car running!

basically i did everything saturday, was all sweet, then when it came to attach the last thing (oil feed) there was no way it was happening. So 4hrs later and removing the entire setup again, everything was finally over and she is ready to be started up next weekend!!

some random pictures of the day..

Hope it goes well.
