Thanks Guys for your support!!
The thing is too Will,I'm 34 and had manuals all my life so the gold coast + an auto was and still is so nice to have.
I buggered my left ankle a bit from my bride bucket seat by having it at a bad angle and driving in it all day on my first track day,so near gear changes is a good thing.It's like it gets a bit swallen after a bit of work on it..
yeah fair call, it would be convenient. iv come from the opposite end of the scale, im only 20 and i learnt in an auto, wrote that off then bought a manual and spent 2 days teaching myself, after that and enjoying everything after it, i wouldnt go back to auto unless i was too injured to drive a manual, or if i needed to tow a caravan or something
how goes your D? I think i read somewhere that you're putting that cam in now?
Yeah man,it goes great guns! It's perfect really.I wouldn't want bigger power at all.The stage 1 bisi cam will make it funner to drive.
Here's some video's from the track http://www.youtube.com/user/beeza2
I was running the stock shocks then...
nice vids, those are with the cam already in?
im thinking either stage 1 or stage 2...depends on how bad my idle will be with the stage 2
No I haven't got the cam in yet.Stage 1 U can just drop it in and reset the ECU.
Stage 2 U should replace the springs and retainers and tune.
Some guys run it without the springs and retainers but it's a risk.
hey guys
i need some info and im confused >< i want to know exactly what my engine is now before you flame me im buying teh car had a drive etc.. but i didn't get the engine number or anything off my brother in law and he isn't very mechainical at all so simple question:
I have a EG5 95 Civic VTi Hatch (SOHC) Vtec engine.. what is the most likely one in there? i can't remebr if its 1.5 or 1.6
also were these models rare? a friend of his said that "the EG5 are the rare ones" im lost so yeah help a bro out
also since my exhaust etc.. is done the next step would be a better camshaft, whats the best bang for buck without (if at all possible) modding the ECU and the rest of the Valvetrain (excluding the cam gear)
thanks in advance
PS loving the thread been reading through the previous posts trying to learn...not working though hahaha
cheers

yeah im generally not a fan of sunroofs/moonroofs etc.. there a bitch to fix when things break and etc.. but lucky mine is good for the moment (touches wood)
so what shuld i do to this engine its going to be my daily and can't be off the road more than a weekend what kinda cam would be good for daily driving but still seeing a track once in a while
same cam that beeza is putting in a stage 1 bisi cam. he uses hes car for a daily and occasional tracks it.
subscribed
Yeah the good thig about the stage 1 bisi cam is U can just drop it in and reset the ECU,DONE! $450.
Stage 2 and up U need to upgrade the valvetrain and tune = $2k.
U should have Intake/Header/Exhaust to accompany the cam too.
$450 US or AUD?
if so thats quite expensive - but i suppose thats because not many people mod hondas (in comprasion to say toyota and nissan)
AUS!
$360 US
http://bisimoto.net/store/index.php?...x&cPath=3_9_31
Mine is the y4.
So U need to buy the stock cam and they regrind it for U.
$130 US + $229 US Level 1 re-grind = $359 US + postage = $450 AUS :)
Now I just gotta get it in there (when I get it)
ah nice
yours is a turbo im geussing?
im not exactly sure what i'll need for my car, i just need something thats going to make it more fun to drive and thats not going to cause to many ECU problems so far this seems a good choice :)
my car will be a daily and a rare track day here and there - does OZ honda ever run track days in melb at like Winton or something?
beeze = NA, y4 Auto.
Will be interested to see how this cam goes in the engine with an auto box.
Me Too Jase!
ASk 'RicedCivic' - Danny,he does track days down there,or check the past events section for something hito :)
Nihon jin des ka?
haha no
im not jap - but my wife is indonesian :P so im trying to learn that
Oh right!
Terah bekasi :)

what about theses cams for daily and light track duties (stage 2)
d-series.org will have reviews on it but BLOX is a respected brand.
but i mean blox vs crower vs bisi
Crower stage 2 has a BIG rep on d-series.org.Cant go wrong with that or bisi,not sure how the blox compares,there will be camshaft comparison threads on there but.
Much of a muchness aye.bisi or crower ftw!
Offcoasre it's more about the accompanying mods.
If I was to go stage2 I was at get the TB bored out to 60mm from 56mm,then do a home port match with the IM to the TB.
Then take the same,4mm off the intake where it joins on the head and port match the head!
Good gains to be had in porting,as long as ya dont **** it up!
yeah what are the other intake options is there any other honda manifolds that will bolt on with gains or is it all make your own?
well im looking at a stage 1 or 2 cam just for more fun on street
Skunk2 and blox do aftermarket IM for the d.
Mine being the y4 is the black sheep of the d's and it's a nightmare to run a b16 60mm TB,so I would need a custom IM,like this one!

From here:

I was gonna buy it but opted against it.
mines the y1 (z6 i think for any US folk) and is probably the best one out there along with the y8
where can i download / buy a d16z2 engine manual ?
cheers,
Gunn.
apprently i have a d16y1 aswell so im in good shape for aftermarket support yes?
$250 for that it seems reasonable
Yes,the z6 being the pick of them all,like bisi's beast.Quote:

That on in the pic does look like a china job though :)
ebay it i got a manual for like 6 bucksQuote:

the best 2 OEM intake manifolds for honda D series are:
D16z6: smaller resevoir but larger runners - nice all round gains focused on mid-high
D16y8: larger resevoir but smaller runners - more up high gains
skunk2: loose a little low end power but gain nice strong mid to high gains ... only recommended if you are doing everything (I/H/E, cams or turbo etc)
apparently if u are just doing I/H/E and mild cam etc the D16z6 IM is the best value for money, but hell if you can afford Skunk2 for a single banger - go for it
im trying to decide which one to get
after almost giving up on trying to find a D16z6 intake manifold i was going to get a skunk2 system instead ... but if someone can confirm that the D16y1 is the same than i will hunt one down =D
Correct D16y1 and D16z6 are the same motor (Well 99%)Quote:

Close to all internal and external parts are interchangeable
so i should be chasing up a D16y1 intake manifold?
did we get the D16z6 over here?
No we don't get the D16z6 over hereQuote:

sweet so i already have the best intake for my engine (besides going skunk2 or blox)
Here's a list of things U can do to get ya D goin' TOP GUNS!!!!!!!!!!
D16Y8 is slightly better I beleiveQuote:
Originally Posted by hitoriko

yeah thats what i figured
looks like the best 2 mods i can do from teh get-go are the CAI & Pod and double check my Exhaust
also anyone from melbourne westside/northern subs can suggest a good Honda tuner?
just ordered my D16a6 cam from USA ... will let you know how it goes in the D15
why all the way from the USA?
we didnt get D16a6 over here
didnt cost me much ... if someone can give me an engine code that has the same camshaft in australia i would be very greatful =D
D16Z2 is the same motor as the D16A6, they can be found in Concerto's
Just for anyone who might be interested, I have a D16y1 build thread
No engine work done yet, but a list of mods and progress is on there, with a few future plans as well
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120233
ok so let me get this straight...
D16z6 is a D16y1
D16a6 is a D16z2
the D16a6/D16z2 has almost the same head as a D15B7 but a stronger camshaft
the D16z6/D16y1 has the best all round flowing intake manifold out of all the D series
that looks pretty well spot on
we need a D-series sticky for stuff like that lol
thinking the same thing!Quote:

would be nice to see more.
id love to see some (or even ONE) bisi-inspired d series build.
That is , a overly huge powered SOHC d series with big header or big turbo running quick quick times.
x2 i would love to see a build like that in oz
I'll be buying through bisi some time this year. Not sure if I'd meet your definition of 'huge powered' but I'm looking to run high 13's in 12 months time
That's Awesome Will!!
i might end up doing a Full Build to my D17.
if i do, im aiming for 280+ kw
Sick!
Have U got a list of parts U would use?
im considering getting my cam and cam gear soon.... but the other side of me says get the suspension setup for track and daily :P
I would choose suspension and learn to drive the car well!
Like my car is an auto and I left foot brake full time now but I can use either L or R.It took 6-8 months but I'm there now and it's great to have that confidence down there at ya feet.
i dont have a specific list but i do want to use a bisi head.
the bottom end will most likely be built By AK.
but thats if plans falls into place at the right time.
hehe yeah ' if plans falls into place at the right time.'
That's the ticket!!
:)
yeah well i got my LCAs sorted i'll have to remove a strut and see what springs/shockers the car has and then decide on coilovers or a good shock/spring setup, and then rear Ctrl arms and etc..
does anyone have an idea of who might have the fastest all motor d series in the country? have their been any d series build in earlier years that some of us newer people might have missed out on seeing?
I've only been around for the last 12 months, surely theres more worked d series'
