D series crankshaft question

[Blue]

Hey guys,

I searched but came up with jack.

Now can anyone tell me how good a D series crankshaft is,

I am using one in another car and want to know about inherent negative sides they have.

Pretty much I want to ask, can this crankshaft take major punsihment, assuming I will use the best of everything else in the motor ecu etc.

Thanks in advance guys:)

BTW guys sorry I didnt mention earlier, I am going psycho on this build.

like 400BHP psycho.

IMO - Don't risk it, and pay for something better.

Sorry mate, its not going in a Honda so I am limited by choice.

Do you now anyone that makes performance D series crankshafts

Just use a late D series crank and get it prepared correctly for your power goals you dont need to waste money on a billet crank spend the money on sleeveing the block and buying a very good set of conrods.

i've seen on d-series alot of guys running up to 400hp on a stock crankshaft... what sought of output you plan on putting up?

So the engines not going in a honda or the crank?

The Crankshaft will not be going into a Honda motor or car,

It will actually line up well with 'my' 1.6 Block,

This is a mod I came across just recently,

I am aiming around the 400HP mark, I want to go full on out there with my new motor, I have purchased the box, so its next ecu, next motor.

So yeah, Thanks to Dyno Dave, youre a champ, dont worry, i'll be adding the best of everything to this motor.

I plan on running 13's in full street trim, which is a realistic figure for this car, in street trim ofcourse.

[turtleEK1]

wow... sounds like a full on project!! not giving more details? or do you have a build thread up somewhere?

Don't know if every body knows about this site, but if you're building a 400Hp D16 you probably do.

anyways.....

Most high Hp builds have got rods, pistons and maybe sleeves.

400Hp on a D16 means a power band 5500 - 7500rpm and not much anywhere else.

Still 400Hp is 400Hp and driving a Honda means using high revs anyway.

Some of the more notable builds
T3/T04E 57 trim .63 a/r, D16Y8, Eagle rods, Vitara pistons, Zex 59300 cam,
stock head,valvetrain, Skunk2 IM, 60mm TB.
442whp/323tq @ 28psi on a Mustang dyno.
11.378 @ 130.37 mph on 28psi(older 390whp tune/setup). 1.824 60 ft. on 205/55-14 Nitto DR's.

The suzuki guys use honda cranks as strokers i think. iv seen it before

[Photonic_Si]

bingo

[Blue]

Where have you seen Suzuki guys stroke anything LOL,

No seriously, stroking is as dead as anything, no one has even mentioned it in any other forum I have visited.

Yeha, Honda D16 crank, shotpeened and balanced then with the magic cryogenic enhancement for extra rice factor, then ill pop it in and forget- Hoorah!

Atleast the crank is easy- now finding the right sleeves, rings, pistons etc etc...

just need to find my 4th job now...

LoL. The word on the street is that they stroke each other??!! LoL;)

I saw one NZ, it was a suzuki cultus (4wd 1.3L power house lol) and it had a vitara block and honda crank and girdle. It was an NA rally car that was surpose to go good.

[Blue]

Excuse me, I didnt know what gay was before I joined Ozhonda,

But seriously, if you can send us some info on that car it would be great.

[creativepunka]

ill hit up one of my mates. i think it may have been in NZ performance mag also.

[Blue]

Cheers mate,

That would be fantastic,

and the lo down on the 411 is that its the Honda guys who are strokin the suzuki guys LOL:cool: LOL.

Buts thats fine with me- my other car is a GTR. Yes as in Skyline GTR.

Well it will be once (if - Prays :angel: ) my finance checks out.

At least you chose a good car, i did alot of work on a mates 32GTR and it still to this day is my favorite car. lol my other car is a GTR eating rotary.:wave:

yep ill probably did the info up on the W/E for ya.

[Blue]

Yeah, thats a nice ride- all rotors are good quality rides IMO.

If I had more money I would build a mad 5 and a 6 series RX7

most 2 series are ghey IMO but the 5 & 6 are red hot.

[micky_d01]

Sorry, correction.

It's all outlined in wikipedia -

"When employing forced induction on a D16, at a minimum the stock hypereutectic pistons should be replaced as well as the connecting rods if the commonly used "stock parts" limit of 220 HP is to be exceeded, although it should be noted that the D series crankshaft in particular has been found to reliably handle up to 600 HP."

:)

can i ask who the f88ck pushes a dseries to 600HP.

Insane.

I love honda motors but nver bought one, mmm shame, might buy the new civic type R as my finacne for the R didnt pan out.

Yeah 600's insane huh, only quoting whats on the site :). Type R's are choice.

On the topic of rods only handling 220HP, I heard forged Eagle rods (American) have clearance issues with the bottom of the cylinders on Aussie d16 blocks!?! What rods do you use on a boosted d16 then if ya cant afford custom? Or is this issue a myth??

[creativepunka]

yes they fit. You just have to notch the the bock and girdle with eagles.
