And thats before you call in anyone to help... prosuming you cant do it yourself.

Ask Cat_Spew how much his conversion cost....
It was only an example, not the be all and end all....

Having done a "wild" D16a8 before, they are hardly torquey down low. And by the time you add it all up, a B16a looked as though it would have been a better option... I have a mate who used to have an EF Si civic, and we spent big bucks on the engine... in the end, I don't think it was worth it...

Im taking this all onboard.

There is no reason as to why i would keep the D its just that everything on this forum is all about the B series.

Some may choose the D to work with cause a transplant isnt involved.
It isnt doesnt seem to be done often. Seemingly to be a deadend engine or not.

I dont think my D series has much in the way of low end compared to my old b16a. Figure wise there may be a significant difference but the way i drove it there seems to be little difference.

I want to do a mini-me conversion it will be the next mod to happen.

hey foz man, **** what everyone says bout the b vs d.

you cannot win the conversaion with out wooping their arse.

i admit it would be much more expensive to get build an allmotor D. but not impossible!

my question is: what would be cooler to say?

i have an allmotor 13sec. d16
or
i have an allmotor 13sec b16
??????

or for the money u've spent on the d u could prolly have an 11 sec b.
so wots cooler saying

i have an allmotor 13sec. d16
or
i have an allmotor 11sec b16

13sec D16???? ROFLMAO

The US "Junkyard-turbo" D16s may do that - good luck with it in NA spec at a reasonable budget ;)

ALLMTE had a 12 second B20/B16 hybrid in an incredibly light 3rd gen Civic - I'd like to see you match it with your D series and hit 11s phat_ciVic :D:D:D:D

McChook - was that Ted's ED6 with the ZC dropped in?

You will have to be at >700kg and more than 13:1 to get 13's with a D. Not bagging you guys but your talking about performance that people with a HEAP of more experience haven't achieved
