I'm not after more power but,well,let me rephrase that..I'm not after b series power,my car with a bit more power will be suffice.I love my engine,everything all good,100% and is going Awesome for me,I'm just after a nice little bump in power that I hoped the cam would give but now I'm sure the tune will do that.

I don't regret anything,it's been an Awesome journey and I would still like to port out a stock y4 Intake Manifold but how the hell do ya get a dremel in there,where the end of the runners meets the main cylinder?!?

Anyone want to get their car tuned with AK Andy,if we can get 5 people he'll come up,I'm No 1 :)

so is there any gains to be had with a stage 2 cam?

Definately a stage 2.I would upgrade the valvetrain,springs,valves and retainers,bisi now sells this,some dont though and have said it's fine,it's a risk..

Will need tuning too.

What cult status is that ? spending same amount as a b series swap to squueze out 1kw max more of power?

Thats not a cult thats just stupid.

dude, you should get out of this thread if you dont like what D ppl are doing.
i know youre suggesting a good advice by going to B series for better bang per buck but seriously.
isn't it annoying when your mates keep on telling you about shit that you don't want?
"tai, get this 20" rims man, it looks good on your car!"

dont post if you dont like. hey, i think i never posted in this thread lol.

I actually have 20" rims on my car.

Noice :)

whats the damge on doing all of that i suppose i would get the head recoed then too?

cult status: a following, and as long as bseries are becoming more and more harder to source in good nick anyhow, there'll always be people wanting to boost a d16 for a cheap price and get tonnes of value out of it, I beat the shite out of my car, the b would've succomed by now and f-ed and input bearing by now :) I'm inclided towards engines that do as I say, this has for leading up to 300,000ks, I don't know many b18cr's that have that record... (but I would be interested to hear from people who have high mileage b18cr engines :))

the k is a worthwhile investment if you were inclinded to stay into hondas for the next decade as there's going to be a stack more parts along the way in coming years and they have dropped off in price to do since I've been interested in them as part outs are becoming more and more common like bswaps :)

also "go a bswap, or wouldn't happen if you had a bswap", comments are not at all welcomed in here as this is a place for d-series engines of any generation discussions only :)

Brett, I needa vacation lol

LOL seriously man, where the fk do you get this crap from :thumbdwn:


Live and learn hey beeza. I know you want to stay faithful to the D, but its hard to argue with tried and tested honda tuning methods. IMO if you keep the D, spend the money on the suspension and brake setup instead and at least make it fun to drive. You don't need more power for your application by the sounds of it :thumbsup:
