if you wanted to keep it N/A
youd go A full custom intake and manifold, full exhaust, headers all the way back, with high flow cat, a single muffler, 2.5" pipe all the way through
Thats about the extent of bolt ons.
Then you get into things like cams, valve springs, over sized valves, port/polish the heads, port match the heads to the intake and exhaust manifolds.
Then an aftermarket ecu, get it tuned, lift the rev limit.
Then the bottom end, rods and pistons.
Hahaha that is gold!

Just letting ppl know, Mugen did experiment on the early d-series, and did race em in the SSCA categories, so proof d-series has had some race pedigree lol

IMO, ITBs are only really useful if you plan on tracking the car.
For a daily, youll lose too much low down torque with them.
And reliability. Unless you wanna keep the engine above 6k.Quote:

Interesting, but sounds like i'd need a deep pocket.. super deep.
Expecting otherwise?
noob question
i just got given a d16y1 cos my mate did a engine conversion and i was thinking of putting it in my eg8 with a d15b7 inregards to the swap will it just be a straight swap or do i need to change the loom ?
straight swap - u juss gota run a wire for vtec to ur ECU
and you will need a P28 ECU to run the engine
if u wanna get rid of any parts let me know =)
Are all the d16 oil pans/sump pan interchangeable? reason im asking, my mate has his d16y1 pan lying around, and next year i wanna boost it, so there fore i can just uses his one an get it welded up with a oil drain fitting.
So d16y1 oil pan onto d16y8?
Does anyone know somemonster d16's that can trash b16'? i remember JDM-399
There's heaps of d's that can smoke b's.They are all is the US and a few in Europe.
Here's a 'Monster' d!
http://www.youtube.com/user/Bisimoto.../3/FIhA7_c_Yx0
What the most monster d in aus? I reckon the turbo one Steve is building for his sedan will be the best zc, but im keen for a crazy sohc vtec.
Id be happy with 200fwkw out of a sohc vtec turbo.
One of the POV guys had a big turbo build,that crazy lil' hatchie!
280-300kws was it?
This guy is up the top of QLD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky7UxepxTXg
200kw d series turbo ? thats more than double the most powerful D series - like saying a B series with 300kw or a K series with 315kw. Have to be a hole lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$ !
Another thought is - a B or K series with 200kw will munch a D series with 200kw.
Explaain why so??
lol benny.
d's be smokin' b's daily in the US!!!!!!
They know how to work the d.
Hey guys
how often you hv to top up ur engine oil of SOHC VTEC engine?
I believe there's a little bit leaking from the VTEC solenoid.....and just top it up after 3000 ks....
Mine hardly ever needs toping up,then randomly but really not often I need to top it up just a little.
U probably need to change the VTec solenoid gasket,I believe it happens a bit,pretty common,nothing to worry about.
you can get a replacement OEM part from honda for $20-30. Is a bit of a mess to change because all the oil runs out when you remove it. Gotta shove rags down the back to stop oil running over everything. But if you're losing that much from the solenoid there is probably already oil over everythingQuote:

U could just drain the oil and put it back in then..

There's smoke coming from the exhaust when VTEC kicks in and the way it smokes is like oil leaking rather then burning.....sometimes I could see oil stain on the left handside from the engine head down the block....at first I thought it could be from the distributor but then I try to touch everywhere of the engine and the VTEC solenoid is the only thing I could feel a little bit wet thereQuote:

Thanks;

if its coming from the exhaust than its a internal problem though i could be wrong, since im no mechanic lol, usually it also depends on the color of smoke, white indicating a gasket problem, bluish smoke the pistons rings are on there way out or seals are gone, and black smoke obviously ecu running rich a/f mixtureQuote:

How much does it usually cost to install a 1.5 way lsd into a d series gearbox?
to much money waste of timeQuote:

The d is a labour of love.
Need to do all the work ya self..
Best way is to get another engine,pull it apart and build it up,then swap it in I reckon.
That way,U can go at your pace (when U got money),still have a daily and a project to keep ya busy.
And we all know U can buy these engine for $200-$600.
It labour of love and for me have soft spot for the under dog
Putting a lsd in d series is al up to how mucj you want to spend and wait
Example my ed9 crx d16a8 dohc (which is same as ef7 zc) I got few options
1) buy new cusco or maybe Mfactory lsd centre(around $1250) and throw in my box (from free up $1000 with rebuild box at the same time)
2) Wait around look on ebay to japan yahoo actions may find zc lsd centre used for $500-700 from i have seen
Plus same cost of fitting it
3) Not worry about it save money put for b or k swap
The only reason I am doing it to mine please read my first line again lol
I just said that one honda-tech yesterday in the SOHC wire tuck thread.
Tupac said it:
"We all want to be the underdog!"

You slammed your sedan?
Is there any diy guides on how to put a lsd in a fwd? Maybe it's best to not even attempt it.
doubt it would be very different to fitting an LSD to a b-series box.
haha Steve,there's some pics in the batmobile thread,tell me what U think!
It's as low as I can go,the H brace is smashed up and most people comment on how low it is hahaha
I cant go lower and I come real close to hitting a lot but dont hit! Just touch sometimes and bash! sometimes lol
It dosent have that camber look at all but it's low and just on the side of practical for the roads I drive.
Oh yes,my ass cheeks have been clenched many times hahahaha
Jaime,
There would be a difference, but for the amount of money you will be paying, you would be better off doing other bolt on mods.
Yeh bolt on parts will help think and feel a bit faster but lsd centre will help you be bit more faster again than spining one/single leg it conpair to grip and spining two wheels
Sorry if I going feel bogon but everyone wants to see two smokey tyres in burnout than single spinner
(In safe enerment of coure eg. drag strip :p)
Hey guys. Some of you may have seen my posts on the ITB's well they are for sale.
I have a d16y4 which I'm aiming to convert from the backyard bullshit job to stock efi..
Does anyone here have any experience in rewiring the car and maybe some detail in hooking up the injectors and accualy maybe pics?
I've been looking around for build threads for advice to what to do next but can't seem to find any.. you guys seem the best bunch to ask ;)
D series spins wheels? Better tyres would be cheaper than an LSD and you would get so many more benefits out of them.Quote:

SO is it a carby setup on a y4? LOL, its interesting to say the least and rubber tube used as intake runners!Quote:

It'd be a pretty awesome set up on a y1, and if you could get it tuned properly. Will you sell it all as a complete unit when you get a new manifold? I'd be interested.
Yea I will. I have brought all the parts to put my engine to stock efi. So once that's done ill sell it. I just can't do the stock shit myself.. =[ or id be doing it now =[ =[
That looks neat. Preferably the runners would be an alloy, but i doubt there would be any issues with the rubber hose collapsing because of negative pressure, it looks like thread reinforced coolant piping.
What problems were you having with it? Idle issues?
The runners would look alot neater if they were braided steel imo.
The runners would look alot neater if they were solid gold imo.Quote:

im over trying to fix it so i wanna go back to stock EFI and sell this ITB setup...
It did have suffercating issues..I changed hoses..Quote:

I've had this car for about 5 weeks and I've probably driven it for a max of 5 hours. Its killing me and I'm just over issues.. I fix one problem and I find another then another.. its so frustrating...
I didnt think it looked long enough to be able to collapse. What'd you swap them to?
They were longer when I got the car. I used tough radiator house. And shorter =] seemed to fix it a fair bit.
I wasn't sure on what pipes to use. And they were just rubber ones on before...
Didn't think it looked possible for them to collapse with them being that short. A metal pipe with rubber couplers would've probably have been a better idea. Like what is used on intercooler piping.Quote:

If it helps I can do that instead =]
Yep Yep!! guess what guys? the ITBS are coming out tomorow night ^_^
Im getting it changed to stock so if anyone is really intrested in the ITB setup PM me :)
This is the one I was looking at buying;Quote:

Thanks for ur reply.
a few days left of the build :)
Its coming along really well.. all the interier wiring has all been done and put back together, now just need to do the fuel tank. wiring lume in engine bay and then the intake and injectors.. im aiming to be done by sunday night :)
im a little suprised ive had next to no PM`s about the ITBS. its all good. i dont mind if know one is intrested.. i guess im not either haha.
Peace guys. and thanks again for all your advice and help! D16Y4 back to EFI here i come ^_^
well technically you aren't allowed to sell anything on here anyway as you are still a newcomer.Quote:

If it was an EFI ITB setup, lets say from a Honda CBR600, than yes, easily :D
Lol I bagged the shit out of them cause I didn't want them... and cause the way it was installed was dodgy.. I'm sure someone who can install them right would do them well. But it doesn't matter as I'm efi and don't need them anyways..
inb4 your engine turns out to be carby lol
the reason no one wants it because you told me you wanted 800$ for it .. and you complain how shit it is.Quote:

I was told that's how much they would sell for that's why. But now that they are off and checked out properly. They arnt the ones I was told they were. The guy I got the car off was full of it.. just like the way he put it in. I'm sure with some knowledge they would work well. Seriously my car is nearly on the road. Id be happy to loose them for a bit of cash. But I'm not worried as I have had 1st hand experience that they need someone who knows abit about them which I dont. That's all.
Hey guys :)
EFI conversion is done. and i only have 1 night left of work just re wiring the tail lights and putting the headlights on :)
The car is running sweet, very good idle all in all im very happy with it seeings as tho i was ready to torch it a few weeks back hahhaha
I cant wait till its done, blue slipped and on the road :)
Thanks for all the help guys!
what weight of the lightened flywheel will make the best for street use?
Good to know man :)Quote:

I got a fujita CAI for mine and it seems to do well, feels like it pulls harder at the top end. Short rams and whale penis will give you more response compared to cai so it depends what your preference is. If you do go short ram or whale then make sure to enclose the pod and/or give it a cold air feed or you will just be sucking in hot engine bay air.Quote:

putting 4-2-1 ebay headers onto a D-series will heavily combat the losses from the SRI - which makes it a good combo
but in B-series CAI is the way to go
i had a Fujita CAI on my B18c and it was amazing for mid and top end and was loud as hell
i put the same kit on my D15b and it lost alot of mid-top end and is hell quiet
most of my mates have had the same experiences
the best value for money intake kit you can get for D-series is the simota whale intake on ebay for $100
than use your factory intake arm as an air ram from your front bumper
my car is an EG8 with D15b7 and JDM D15b gearboxQuote:

keep it clean please - no trolling
