I just question the reliability of a turbo d-series in the long run, i.e take it to the track and drive it hard for the whole day, im sure the something is bound to go wrong. Compare to a b16a, im sure it'll have less chance of breaking down.

As fishman said, timeslips proves it all. Dyno power deosn't prove anything until you take your car down 1/4mile and see what MPH it pulls.

My car makes 80 odd kw atw and does 14.7 down 1/4mile. Im sure this time has upset a few d-series turbo setup.:p

man this thred is aimed at people who have a civic/crx who have a standard Dseries in there.... im not saying to people who have b h k's they should swap them out and replace with a D.... its letting people know they dont have to Get rid of there d if they want some more performance...

When you say your sure that something is boud to go wrong to do make that statement with any experience at all? or is it just a stab in the dark?

Sounds like you do some good times im guessing in a crx? a good mate of mine here in brizo has a gen 2 d16a with a bolt on turbo setup... goes very very well should see if i can get him out and do some runs and get some slips and paperwork... i know from memory hes around a sec slower then 14.7 though (could be wrong though)

Wow this thread has gone completly out of hand....

Agreed! :thumbsup:

nah its good that people are thinking of every reason under the sun to no justify the potential of the path... because it opens up debates that are common questions for people in the situation of wondering what should i do for more power in my civic/crx with a dseries....

just a shame people start getting personal about it but hey that just shows their matureity.... end of day internet mechanics can say whatever they like but still plenty of info, results and proof on page 1 !

see u's at jamboree

all you talk about is potential. no shit there's potential. i'm talking about real life boosted d-series cars that exsist around australia. And what do you know, they all fall short and run shit times. Of course they have potential yet none of them have performed yet.

You're talking what might, or could happen. I"m talking about what is and has been happened. Seems like you're the internet mechanic here. Just putting up what other people have done on the other side of the planet.

hondatech FTW

My friends wrx has potential.

reality is another concept

I don't believe a Stock B16A = 88KW @ the wheels is faster than a boosted D16Y1/8 = 120Kw @ the wheels

THATS IT

Maybe those other guys can't drive? heheh

this is how i see it, the yanks goes OUT and give it a go. While ppl here just all talk and blah blah.....

remember that the US has 301 million population , of which there would be atleast 16 times the amount of D series "whores" there. Of which , X amount are running crazy HP (on overrated dynos mind you lol) and hopefully nice times down the 1/4.
But this is OZ and we have about 3 people in all of this country with actual worked D series setups. Everything else is a pod filter and a fart cannon
.Its nice to back guys up that have a similar BASE engine , but its even better to prove you can drive and take it to the 1/4 and run some times to move heads.
