hmmm if my car rev to those revs all day i would be using them too
parts are always going to go on cars fact of life
a motor that can rev to 9k will always have more problems with a car that revs alot less
man talking crap about a motor you never had is always funny
lots of talk on this thread not enough truth and exprience
any way keep doing those mods brett

so your agreeing that a Bseries is more likely to have problems?

i've not owned a B series so i can't comment but i've owned a few twin cam engines (nissans and toyotas) and i can say from my experance its all about how the engine is used and looked after. i mean i had my car a full 3 days before the radiator top tank split but thats because the car was driven once a week by someone who didn't do the usual checks (oil water etc..) but since i've had it it runs so much better than the first week i had it.

when u get one

come back and answer that question you wouldnt understand some thing you have to exprience yourself

in the meanwhile enjoy your d series

so rather than explain yourself you'd rather be condescending?
im not going to bicker about D Vs B Vs K Vs LMNOP im just asking in your experance with both B series and D series which gave you more problems and what were they.

Try helping in the thread man - were all here for teh same reasons...

B and D are both good in terms of reliability, depends how u use and look after it.

But usually engines that make more power will wear out quicker than those with lower compression and not having every last kw squeezed out.

Ive seen a few Bs do over 300,000kms and still going strong.

At the end of the day the majority of ppl will wanna thrash a B series more than a D as you least at have decent power in a B

It's all about how you look after your engine, you all are sounding as though you want to compare reliability without servicing the engine.

If you take care of the engine the engine will take care of you. It's as simple as that.

Both D and B series engines are good. You can obtain any amount of horse power from either engine, it's all about the money you have to spare though.

So all you have to do is look as your finances, choose which engine suits your budget, and go from there.

One engine is not better than another engine when they both have different aplications.

you had info on itbs awhile ago Brett, what ever came of that idea?

Ahahhaha LAN,Love ya mate!! :)

The ITB's I was looking at were cheap,so it was an idea to do something cheaply,but the design was flawed,not a good design.

Definately gotta tune aswell $$$

Money is better spent on hi comp pistons etc.

Lots of great ITB's d setup's on d-series.org!

any good videos on there?

just get the rebuild kit with the vitara pistons :)

pretty good value :)

^^ If I was still mod'n/spending money on her I would...but I'm on another venture now! Such is my life!

Horticulture/Kingscliff here I come!

I haven't look for any vids but youtube will have them 'd16 with itb's'.

So I'm just getting the BC coils and tuning.

Here are the coils - http://www.bc-racing.com.au/br-series-coilovers.html

He's saying that he has had more bad experiences with his B's because he doesn't drive them as responsibly as he drives his D's.

Both are reliable when used appropriately. The only thing that makes a B more problematic is the driver.

i never had any problems with my b's because i know how to look after my engines
and even if i drive them they way they should be driven
they are still better than all the claimed perfect d series motors on here

i got rid of my d series motors because of there inferior design and a-b shopping kart design
and are not designed to do what b series motors do
how do you know if your motor is running perfect if you dont work on your car yourself

love to see a d series rev to 9k all day and see if you get any problems
and what it would cost for it to do 9k revs all day
compared to a b18cr
