Can anyone lese feel the hate in this thread,
Just as a 2c from me, the whole discussion is about the validity of the dseries as a performance option, which it can be,
Good on the guys who have shown another way, save money on conversion and et better turbo etc.
If you want to go nuts, its shown, look at another type of series engine,
Can someone say "K24 puts out more power"
(CRV Block - K series head)
*Waits to be flamed*
yep because there are too many immature people on here who know nothing
I agree, but you got to start somewhere- not everyones born a genious- but some ppl are born asswipes. (not directed at ne1):cool:
agreed
disagree
hahahahahahahahaha what a joke.
d series is a good engine to play with nothing big straight bolt on stuff. if you want to go bigger better N/A. go a B series(this is talking within a 4g budget) if you feel that you can built your d series up to run as good if not better than a b series with mods go for it. if you cant then nothing but a few grand lost and you could start over again with a standard b series. d series are cheap man engines but still fun to have. i have a d series with a nice set of cams and cam gears and all the other bits and i find it runs well(still unsure as how it will go up against a b series, stock or at least with i/h/e)...shame its wet over here in perth so i cant take down strips but dyno results soon
awsome man! is it the zc or the a8? did you have trouble finding support to get your cams? or where these custom regrinds?... in the past found it hard to find parts for dohc ds!
nice stuff man keen to see some power figures / time slips with all your cars specs and mods!
i had a EGSi with a D16a8 , and the 96KW stock was fun. No guts at all tho.
I concentrated on suspension and made the thing handle great which suprised many cars of many types , but if i ever wanted to "race" in a straight line it was a waste of time :)

also, this thread wasn't started for comparison purposes...or was it???
i thought it was just to support the D series crew
in the end, both were designed for a purpose.
one is for performance and the other is for economy.
