Lets Talk d-series

Yeah definately cant hurt doing both.

'Super Engine conditioner' is the same as Suburu UEC.

I'm looking for a daily, should i be getting a vtir dc2 or ej8? same price but the dc2 has 200,000km+

any engine can be 'fun' inside or outside of a car lol

the D16y8 is pretty much the best D-series platform you can get
but in australia it only came in the EJ8 Coupe Vti

that's 1992 but as I could see it's a B16A2 and some paint off from the rocker cover....it might has been overheated before?

hey guys, is there any chance that a D17A engine from 2000 civic could be fitted into an EG straight?
I find them way cheaper than the D16Y1
thanks~

serious man? lol ej8 is a big down grade imo... even though i have one, BUT ive done bit of work to get were it is....

Were as a dc2, u already have all the basics down, good supportive seats, good engine, B18c2, more power/torque, jus so much more than a civic coupe!

BUT thats not to say the ej8 is a bad car, with a bit of work, its just as good as any other honda sports car ;)

Maybe that's because vtec d series have only one cam lol

its hard to say really - the Dc2 will be a better car all round - much better base to work with

200k kms isnt really a bad thing - mine had 230 on it when i started working on it and it basically felt brand new
depends on how it is kept/driven/serviced

the EJ8 could have lower kms - but not looked after

u need to inspect both and find out which is the better car

i meant the lobes lol - there is only vtec on the intake side - not the exhaust side

i wonder how hard it would be to have it on both sides ... the spark plug guides would get in the way =/

If you're looking at transplanting a dohc engine into what was originally sohc, there's obvious benefits but huge cost for new ecu, brakes and what not :S but good idea to have vtec options on both intake and exhaust

good s

I think people have got the slight incorrect impression of SOHC Vtec. Its not simply that intake has vtec and exhaust does not... It is a Vtec engine, variable valve timing or valve overlap etc. Its just simply with the SOHC only the intake valves profile changes (the timing in which the valve opens and its duration etc) when vtec is engaged.. The DOHC both intake & exhaust have separate profiles for both on and off vtec.
