D series Turbo Thread

[trism]

That is correct. An engineer will take into account if the brakes are sufficient for the power that the car has.

on something like an EK4, if they do a k swap, then the brakes may be classed as sufficient.

But if you do it on something like an ED that has tiny brakes up front and drums on the rear, you will be required to upgrade.

You might only need to do say, an ITR front upgrade, and leave the drums at the rear, or you might need to go to disc. Its up to the discretion of the engineer

Turbo D's are a great way to get into boost and learn how things work on a budget..
BUT only as long as you can stay happy with smallish power and boost on a stock motor.

Hope you've read my build thread on turbocharging a D series completely legal and insurable

but personally the D is the most underrated engine, yet the most mysterious..

haha yes.

It's because of the 'potential' power they hold,ask bisi

It's all in the combustion chamber design:

I heard d-series parts are real popular again in the states and canada.

They are a cheap way to make good fun power and that's always gonna be popular.

Atm im preparing my car for this conversion, clutch is goin in, and ITR brakes are on the list before the turbo conversion, so atleast i know it will brake safely lol

^ awesome, then show me so I can be inspired.

Has anybody here used Integra GSI discs/calipers on their Civic, and would it work alright with the Civic BMC? Just wondering if there's a decent 262mm disc with 4x100 that can be easily swapped onto an EG for cheaps if an upgrade was needed...

[Riced_Civic]

ive had a turbo for a while and still working great.

running GT30 on 7psi with 130kw atw stock motor, i can bump up to 12psi if i wanted to but id rather reliability.
