Lets Talk d-series

aren't the vast majority of d16's in aus OBD1

I know with the non-vtec b series you can change the engine harness to suit either OBD 1 or 2, not sure if it applies with D series.

Id say most d16 are obd2 since i see more ek than eg

And with the clutch, it sucks bad! I ordered a clutch as well, from autobarn, the guys ordered a B16a2 one, than ordered the ZC one, at this point i had to do my own research to get the correct one..... sigh!

so does it matter if i use an OBD2 block with an OBD1 head? is it only the head that has all the harness connectors on it?
are any of the other D16 blocks bolt on with D16y1/D16z6 head?

i spose it doesnt really matter that much
if i use a D16y8 head gasket on my D15b7 block with D16y1 head the difference in compression should make up for the lost 97cc of displacement

Nah, black doesn't really matter I don't think. I've seen a lot of later model B20 blocks used with OBD1 B-series heads.

How much compression will you make up using a D16Y8 gasket? I do remember reading that D-series.org thread but can't remember.
Reckon it'd be worth considering if I ever had to replace the HG on my Y1?

just a heads up guys - you will probably see one of these for sale once or twice a year - and this is almost half price as well
probably one of the best bang for buck things u can do to the D-series

If not, what brand and grade oil do you guys reccommended for my beloved low km D series EK
thanks

Yes,it'll be fine Chris!

Nulon 5W-40 + Liqiud moly's low friction oil treatment is the bomb combo!

DO WANT! cheap!!!! but imagine the postage to aust, expensive!!!, ontop of that, a very long 1-3 months wait, unless u have the dough to air freight it here

considering that its more than half of what you would normally pay - i think paying postage for it wouldnt be so bad!

you could get one of the chaps on D-series.com to take delivery than ship it over =)

Id bet the same amount of money on anything else...will not produce the same results or "feel" or "smile factor" to the owner/driver.

flywheel and clutch install is like 400-800 average price less if you know how to do it
so the fly wheel is not such a bang for your buck for the average person
for 1k you may as well get a ebay turbo ben
