Some may say go the D16z8/zc.... because its twincam. But aftermarket support is shit, everything is uniquie in the Dohc d16 so close to nothing is interchangeable. Once the build on a zc is off the ground pretty much everything needs to be custom made or is expensive as.... and if thats the case.. may as well swap the b. Because lets face it, only reason to run the turbo d is for value.

usually the sohc doesnt rev as high but with a valve / camshaft / valve job / Pnp or whatever its easily possibly to be makeing power up to 8.5 to 9k. but at the end of the day dseries boxs have long gears (which is great for boost) so you dont really need to be makeing heaps of power at super high rpm.

I got a crx Si if my motor was to blow up tomorrow (d16a) could i bolt up a
d16y to the standard gearbox btw got a honda concerto gearbox bolted u to the d16a so lets say

d16Y+Concerto box = work/doesnt work?

anyone help me thanks?

this thread kinda died...

Yeah!

It's like everyone wants to see the potential of the d unleashed but no one can be bothered doing it...and yes it is possible.The US have proved that time and time again.

No wants wants to be a leader,everybody needs to be led?

If I had money I would seek some great advice from the guys on here and build a nice little d with my money :)

Meh,don't let it get ya down :thumbsup:

When I start feeling like that I instantly start thinking about other's life's and how they fight everyday to eat, then I get in my Civic and D-r-i-v-e :thumbsup:

hehehe yeh handling > engine for me... i jus love gunning corners/roundabouts =)

Ditto!!!

wonder if theres ne one else that has completed or has begun a d-series build?

i dont think ne1 can be fvcked, the amount of time money and effort spent getting a d-series somewhere, could be better spend buying a stock b18cR with probably more power loll that being said, im sticking loyal 2 the D and waiting 4 stupid dollar 2 stop butt fvckn itself so i can buy a greedy kit

problem is guys...there is little or no one that has a d series that is pulling great or even good times down the 1/4 , and track. There is only bisimoto the world over....and that is with a small fortune chucked at it. So until d series cars start getting the mods and times , you lot are kidding yourselves. Instead of stating a d can have similar power increase for x amount of mods , someone here prove it to us too !
