OPINIONS - d-series build up or b16a?

Mike - ZC (black top) and D16A8 are thesame thing... As an idea for mod parts, I was able to get a set of JG Dynamics Cam Gears for just over $100 shipped from the US. Locally - 1 - you can't get them, 2 - you can modify a set of B16A cam gears to suit but the cost is $200+.

You can find EVERYTHING - just have to look and be patient! Good things come to those who WAIT.

:rolleyes: look... in the end it will be your Decission and yours alone! you're put the question up for discussion and some us have already expressed how we see it. I was going to get a b16a myself about 1yr ago. But after driving a D16 with a set of MILD (not even worked) cams - I quickly changed my mind - this thing RIPPED and it was a stock motor just the cams installed - iMO - easily would have killed a B16A. so you have to make the decission are you a follower or are you an explorer

b-series for NA... man micheal, u are chopping and changeing ideas every 5 minutes.. seriously, sit back and think about ur choices. u'll save a heep of money.

my stock zc keeps up with b16s anyways.

i consider them pretty similar in terms or performance(i know everyone will disaggree)

go the D mate, its the underdog. cheaper to fix, easier to replace and a lil bit different.

u just bought a zc man, chuck it in and be happy. i mean how fast do u want to go?

ppl dont realise how fast most things are.

michael parts are out there, LOOK, my mate neal has found bout 5 shops that sell stage 1 to stage 4 cams for zc. hes found heaps, they are out there. i dont even look and i know where lol.

yeh i'm just throwing around ideas before i commit to one, trying to sve money here, not waste it.

havent picked up the engine quite yet, guy keeps telling me next week next week so in the mean time i'm just exploring my options.

but thanks for the advice....

diff in power between ZC and B16a is 30hp.... i often wonder why people bother to swap engines to the B16a form a ZC.

anyway - i agree with Trav stick to the ZC... not cos its the underdog but cos in the EG it will haul ass with a few targeted mods.

that is so right LOL. the power teh zc lacks it makes up for in torque :thumbsup:

zc with GOOD mods in eg is a lil weapon :thumbsup:

what "targeted" mods?

where can i get info on the d engines? cos i dont know the codes, and where to start/who to trust...any ideas? (go d-series!)

www.d-series.org

definitely stick with the ZC man :) Parts are there, just don't expect to find them locally. For all we know we could be group buying things for us ZC guys down here :D

I know im only a new member and im really excited about V-TEC but i've seen plenty of D series haulin ass!! Theres a white CRX in one of my hot fours magazines. Its been totally worked, with turbo and everythin. I think it pulls about 270 kw at the wheels!!! and if that isn't fast enough for you then i don't know what is.

I like the D but im gettin a B16A cause i wanna stay NA and cause it comes in the car i want.

Hope this helps.
