d series turbo

yer ok, i didnt really ask them how much they spent, i know the d series was about 6 or 7 ish. and it was vs a B18C.

yer i dont really mean there slow. i have actually seen one in japan , a customer from HKS has it. D series vtec and turbo so yer i guess can be good.

i didnt mean to jump into fight~iam just saying could be more cost economical to get b16a. because most turbo parts are coming in from america could hurt the wallet. were as b series some workshops alreaddy have . yer anyway he can do whatever. any build can be good with quality ...

ok, so if you read the guys original question, he refers to the d16a8 motor, do you even know what motor that is?

cost wise? if you spend 5k dumping a b18c2 motor in your car, no mods you'll be lucky to see 115 fwkw. before i built my motor, i slapped on the turbo to my d16a8 @ 8psi i almost doubled my power output @ 131fwkw. i have dyno papers to prove this.

if you want to race me like that, bring what ever you have, ill just take my bike out against you. if you can beat a 10.2 quarter ill bow down.

Yeh no problems mate im sure you mean well and not out there to cause problems. Sometimes i find people just say things without any real knowledge behind is, more because its the "cool thing" or "word going around". All my argument is that if you want to compare something you have to compare by Price.

If you are talking economy. Before boost i got 450ks per tank and after boost (and double my power figure) i still get 140ks per tank. Its all about how you drive it. There are just as many distributers selling FI as NA locally, without paying through the roof. I dont insist that people go down any path, but id rather people to get some accurate infomation. They can make up their own mind.

My D16a8 Turbo motor was built 6 years ago, ive done countless quarter mile runs, it runs 21 psi daily on pump fuel and 30+ on racefuel, i take it to the shops and i take it to the track, it has never missed a beat. it runs standard drive shafts and a standard gearbox. if you think its shit, please bring your car up to the track and line me up and we'll let the cars do the talking.

Well said, i also owned a D16A8 Turbo CRX it also ran 18psi daily on pump gas and 25psi on the track, it also never missed a beat and only thing i changed was driveshafts once. factory gearbox. on 18psi i made 198kws atw and on the street i think i lost to 1 car a 20b rotary. so don't underestimate the d series, these days you can build a 150kw atw setup for less than 6k.

generally any boosted car will be an easy match for an NA.
Unless the NA has had alot of work done to it, it hasn't got a chance.
A D series turbo, on a cheap budget can be had for less than $3k

let just take this as comparison.
ITR stock does 14.7 down qtr mile (not this is with a pro driver)
Most 120kw-130kw D series do low 14s from what i've seen.

The d16a8 was one of the first performance motors built by Honda. They're a very strong motor that loves boost. Before the whole invasion of B-series swaps... boosting and building the twin cammed d16a8 was the thing to do.

If you plan to boost your stock motor, do some tests to the motor to make sure it's in good form. Like compression test etc. Don't worry about that if your going to rebuild.
