is it possible to use a bosch FR7DPX plug in a D16Y4 instead of a FR7LPX?
depends, if ur using stock oem parts, its not the parts that are expensive, its the labour that kills it, maybe 1-2k in labour, an more to machine the block, head etc etcQuote:

If ur rebuilding to handle more boost, theres a few ways to go about it, an cheapest option, to use Vitara pistons.... so cheap in the states!!!!
hey guys,
when putting a vtec head y1 on a non-vtec block y4 is there a oil plug that has to be removed from the block?
d15z1... i could go on and on about how slow it is, i should know haha. d15z1 should redline at around 6k?
7 or so
Those vitara pistons lower the compression way too much.Quote:

Alot of the newer cars have high comp low boost which is really good for a daily, good low end torque...
Its all about torque!!! Thats what puts you back in your seat... flat torque curves will provide good pulling power throughout the rev range :)
1.6L engines will not provide this on their own and will only come close with forced induction
There are a couple of vtec D - series motors on ebay at the moment just waiting for boost :)
Unless you're planning to make huge amounts of boost, the vitara pistons lower the engines compression too much. The engine would be an unresponsive pig and low/medium rpm.Quote:

^ Sounds awesome. What kind of power does it make on 18-20 PSI and 28 PSI? Somebody I know was making about 245kw on around 28-30 :D
Awesome mate,SICK!! :)
Were all the head studs equal length?Quote:

Bottom line is before,top is after.I lost no high end and pick up all the to red line,so stoked!
It was 1 deg. retarded,now it's 7 deg. advanced and $220 :)

Sick, what race track is that beeza, don't think i've been to that one before.
A local one :)
Thanks mate!
I want to do a few p plate mods to my d16a8 so cops can't hassle me for b swap but don't know what to do.
Cold-air intake
4-2-1 header, high=flow cat converter, 2" mild-steel mendrel-bent cat-back and a resonator + rear muffler.
Heavy duty clutch + lightweight flywheel.
Cost you $2000-3000 and it'll be fun!
CRX?
What he said ;)Quote:

They have the same compression ratio?Quote:

Those things are year dependent not because it's a ZC, same thing happened with the DQuote:

slightly related...anyone know if a EF8 b16 hi flow cat + exhaust system will fit/bolt onto a d16/zc EF7?
Ep3steve. The head won't bolt strait on. D series and B series have different manifold bolt thingys. Dosnt even fit. Sorry to bring bad news. :(
but other than the manifold itself, ie from the cat back, yes it should fit.
But unless it's an aftermarket cat-back then don't bother. OEM one is small.
cheers guys... from the cat back is good enough. I've heard that headers from some integras are interchangeable?
older integras with a D series (d16a)....yes.....but why bother ?Quote:

Which does nothing ! (especially on a D series)Quote:

Actually, I put one of those N*power headers on my D16, and it made a HUGE difference, the car was more responsive right through the rev range, revved out much faster too.
i didnt have to flog it as hard to get up hills, it was an instant increase in torque - i dont doubt that a flywheel would do similar, but the header provided better value for money
I need a new clutch so I'll probably do the clutch flywheel combo...headers a while after that maybe..
On another note, was about to change the oil the other day, bought Honda oil + filter from the local Honda dealership, I asked if the filter would fit, the mechanic said one filter fits all hondas (I noted this was an imported d16) he said meh. Anyway, Got back home to change it and noticed the width of the filter installed is larger than the honda oem one, didn't want oil to go all over the place so im waiting to find out if it will fit. Anyone know?
yup generally speaking the honda oil filter/s sold in australia suit all honda models
Have to agree with Ben.
I've put plenty of headers on plenty of D series motors.. I never learnt from my mistakes lol.
Most common oil filter for the D series motors is the Z79A
Anyone know where i could get a throttle body box for a d16y4?
yeah i noticed a massive difference in midrange torque as well on my D15b7 - made daily driving so much easierQuote:

not even that if its a D-series lolQuote:

What clutch do I need for the ZC? I can refund this straight away or replace it for the right exedy clutch if they make it.
Should've asked here before I bought it derp.
Most shops will happy to swap for the right clutch
Something else to look out for is splines on input shaft on your gear box if it a 20 or 21 went you pull it out

Hi guys. Going to attempt oil and filter change on my civic.
At 122,000 kms.. Healthy strong engine thats been serviced frequently.. what oil should I be using. Is a thinner oil still ok to use like 5-10w - 40? Thinking of 10w-40 as supercheap has a sale on this type of castrol oil atm
If not, what brand and grade oil do you guys reccommended for my beloved low km D series EK
thanks
10-30 or 10-40 for your daily. dont think it matters if its royal purple shit or just your regular magnatec as long as your change oil & filter 5kkms.Quote:

on another note check out my build thread for the tare down of a D16y1 that i scored cheap
its snapped a con-rod from the previous owner over-boosting but the head is in great condition
either going to mini-me the head onto my D15b7 or find a D16 block to put the head on
does the block have to be OBD1? or can i get any D16 block and put the D16y1 head on it?
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.

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
Jackson Racing Supercharger for D-series engine

yeah im probably not going to bother with the block - cant be assed pulling mine out of the carQuote:

the block on the other hand is completely rooooted lol
btw - add me on facebook u noob!
Yes,it'll be fine Chris!Quote:

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 hereQuote:

you could get one of the chaps on D-series.com to take delivery than ship it over =)
flywheel and clutch install is like 400-800 average price less if you know how to do itQuote:

Yeah forsure,U just gotta be committed cause it will need a rebuild,it also may need the coating that's on the inside re-done.Other bits and pieces,installed and tuned.Quote:

that has a fairly aggressive vtec side but almost normal non-vtec side (maybe a little more torque)
that i can still use with stock valvetrain and maybe run vtec crossover at around 5-6k rpm range?
or am i asking too much?
Hey guys
just wondering how much is a D16Y engine
mine is blowing smoke and wanna find a better condition one which I could put straight in
Im in Adelaide but wouldn't mind spending a little bit postage on getting one~
they normally go for around 1k
what engine do you have at the moment and which car is it?
lol 1k, thats a dreamers price, max i would pay is $500 no more. If they want you to pay more then they are ripping you off.
depends on which engine it is and how stingy the wrecker is
a D16y5 will usually go for around $900 with or without gearbox
a D16y8 is a bit rarer and will go for anywhere between $1200 and $1500
same goes for the D16y1 - they are usually around $900 - $1200
D15b VTEC will go for about $900 and have about the same power output as a D16y1
if you are looking at private sales expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $600
mine is a EG5 with D16Y1 I think
it seems there aren't cheaper option there.....
I have just found a B16A Del Sol shell with no gearbox for 500.....I ain't quite sure how much would that be if I put that in my civic
Private sale....yea that would be a cheaper idea but hopefully I dun have to wait for too long :(
let me know if u want to get rid of ur D16y1 =)
lol what do you want from me?! :D
I know somehow just get rid of the car might be a cheaper option to stop burning my oil but consider I have got suspension , intake and exhaust mods on it....
I am try to get a cheaper option to fix the engine...put another D16Y1 in, or rebuild it.....or get that 500 bucks whole setup B16A...
thats daaammn cheap for a B16a even without the gearbox
Yea, I know~but what I want to do is just to spend the cheapest price to fix the oil things~
just can't really imagine how the labour could be even putting a B16A in it sounds nice
