Depends on whether or not you can drive well enough.

Just get a shorter FD IMO.

Nah I disagree.

If you want to talk potential then forget Honda engines compared to other options lol. B16A's are nice engines and all, but they're still 4-bangers.

Otherwise, if you're...

Definitely ok, would be great fun to drive.

What about his build were you concerned about?


Personally I love the D bangers. People just make the mistake of comparing then to B's and K's.
...

No, was in Melbourne.

Actually it was 161HP my mistake, but exhaust was too small as discussed and likely holding the build back.
...

No, one of our members here did exactly what I posted earlier (following the example of the yanks) and made 137kw. Big dyno or not, that's still respectable i think. It's doable, people just hate on...

To be honest I wouldn't bother. Just go turbo, N/A seems to be a WOTAM on the D-series.

Read on the net

If you want power go the P29/PM7 pistons, shave the head, and run a big cam (Crower stage 3 is what the yanks do). Will end up with comp around 12.5:1 more or less. Need the big cam and a 98RON tune...

Yes mate. Only block you can't use is the D17.

But all the common D's work fine.

Yes interchangeable

Sensors are pretty easy. Just unscrew them and give them a wipe down.

Seems to know what he's talking about though which is nice

Compression? Yeah do plugs too at least clean them

Maybe run a little injector cleaner. But idling at 1000 isn't bad, should probably only be 750-900? Look under the bonnet, there may be a sticker than indicates what the idle should be.

Give the...

Rods are good for 200HP safely. Any more and you either need to shotpeen, cryogenically treat or replace with forged items.

Pistons are good for about 7,500-8,000 RPM. Once you hit 8,000+ the...

200 horse max on the SOHC if oem. Then you start snapping rods.

I wouldn't recommend building the D if you aren't mechanically experienced. Takes a lot of modification to build a 'monster'. You're looking at a complete rebuild with new pistons and a full head...

Thermostat?

Probably at the back of the engine, left side, down low.

Take a picture of your engine. The engine number should be printed on the left hand side, front of engine, just on the block where the head/block meet.

Yes, it's possible to do this setup. It's...

Like we said man, not fail. Good power!





So we went a bit off-topic, big deal. At least we're having healthy discussion. Your own bullsh!t posts haven't been relative to any engine at all,...

Never said you did, just saying you're welcome to attribute some of the figures to the dyno.

What I really wanted we're your thoughts on those figures given they are all from the same day/dyno....

The exact date I can't remember. About 25+ degC.

Dyno Dynamics dyno.
Fitzgerald Racing Services, Box Hill, VIC.

Of course you're welcome to criticise Dyno...

Not completely stock of course, but what B-series is?

Same day, same dyno, as a group:

ED9 with B18C7. SRI heat shielded, can't remember header, and 1.75" exhaust (for engineering) made 85.4kw...

I disagree that you can lose approximately 40kw/33% from the drivetrain.

Have never ever seen a b16a pull that LOW without being sick. From the three dyno days I have been to, including Autosalon...

D16 should be 65-75 depending on mods/dyno.

B16a IMO 85-95. Below 80 I would be seriously asking questions.
