Mate the D blocks pop or warp even with block guards with constant use… running those numbers.
You should find a 436whp D and following its life date to date.
Let us know and will we follow it as well
he actually said invest in a b, i was pointing out D's can make power too, isnt that the reason why people upgrade to a B?!Quote:

If you invest in a B you won't look back at a D, cos you'll gain alot more potential
Also, there is more aftermarket parts for the B series
Yes, abit more expensive aswell. You can build a D-series bottom end for less than $1000...Quote:

I did mine for under 5kQuote:

Heres the difference
My turbo B on 8 PSI

My turbo D on 10 PSI

Note how fast the D falls out of the all important torque curve (Newton meter)
