well said, couldnt agree more.

Unlike b-series, d-series cant take timing for shit, and all it does is increase combustion pressures to the point were the sleeves move and the headgasket blows. (cause of the added pressures of the RS ratio(amoung other things)). It might not blow on the dyno, but just playing with the timing and settting it that high for a single run starts the time-bomb ticking.

i agree with this too, but like lukezen27 said.. his headgasket was already on its way out but imo if he knew that his headgasket was on the way out, why dyno it and up the psi / get more power out of it.

nevermind =) nice car tho , 120kw is still something to be proud of coming from a D. but we all kno that its capable of way more

Yeah I just thought I was the cheap radiator I had not a head gasket lol

So I replaced it but had the same problem :(

I think 120kw on 12pis @ only 5500RPM is quiet good IMO

are you using a aftermarket thermostat lukezen27?
its been recommended to me to use one, any suggestions on which 1 to use?

Na stock

New thermostat won't do shit unless you also get a low heat trigger switch I think..

I run spoon low temp thermo stat and thermo switch. Its awsome.. but the fan in nearly ALWAYES running hahaha

I can imagine lol

Mines on close to all the time with standard :p

Spoon and mugen are the most common low temp thermo and fan switch'
Both together will cost you around $200


And luke, did you change your map sensor, or using stock one ?

seriously i don't know how you guys are bagging Toda when your in QLD and have not seen him work. Has he done a tune for you?

I for one have watched him tune quite a few cars and seen some of great tunes he's done. I personally know the people who own these cars and they have nothing but praise for his work.

You guys keep saying he blows motors, well if that's the case then can someone who has a motor blown by him speak up otherwise why spout crap.

wow love this controversy.

weq i loved his comment about weaksauce, weaksauce . thats a classic.
as it may be true about his comments about theres only so much d series can put out, and at the same time b series having the same output with less effort. D-series are cheap as chips and i guess B-series is getting there atm as well just depends on your preference i guess.
wheres the honda love yo ? shouldnt be arguing.

As for everyone tuning at TODA, to be quite frank dont know many that can tune the hondas as well as Adrian. Maybe there is but the number of customers at TODA dont lie. Motors blow all the time, when you put ur car on the dyno there is always a risk of something going wrong stock or not.

I've seen crap tunes from lots of tuners (and not saying the tune was the problem in this case or any other supposed TODA failure). Does that mean I have to name them all? It doesn't do anything other than cause arguments.

Let it go guys.
