Lets Talk d-series

[90LAN]

the d16a is badged in australia

the correct name for it when that motor was released was a zc

you know it as a d series
i dont class it as a d series imo

stupid honda australia likes re name alot of things heres a example


lets no compare the dseries to other motors

we need ozhonda members to post up mods/cost and figures for members to see what they can do

The SOHC d16 in japan was also stamped as ZC, just to fuel whatever fire is going on.

So in fact the D16A8 and the DOHC ZC are the same, but for the smallest of differences. Either way, the D16A8 is a D-series hence it's stamped with a D - whether it's the basis for the B-series or not.

True what hitoriko said, this thread is basically people saying how great the D series can be, sitting there defending with what it can be and not with actual evidence basically , the only people that can actually be not biased is someone that has experienced both motors and only person is Lukezen i think.

[Tai]

Ive owned and modded both

D seriously isnt worth spending big $$$ on.

Even Lukezen has said his D was a waste of time haha.

[mugen_ctr]

quick question, where can i tap on the block/head for water an oil lines, as well as return lines?

[90LAN]

yeah spee but also a single cam dseries what was 1.5 made 130hp and came with a optional lsd
which was the d15b

[tiksie]

D series came with optional LSD ? Really ?

Did we get any D15B motors ?

AFAIK, the D15B7 makes 115HP if im not mistaken.

And the D15B4 makes 105HP.

Also what does a EK4 do 1/4 mile, and whats the power figures for the B16A2 ? (at the wheels)

[bennjamin]

Ek4 dead standard prob flat 15. No - don't tell mr
Your friend did a 14.5 with a CAI and no interior lol.

Depending on dyno - about 85kw atw.

The d16a8/zc was hondas finest d series. It was used as a race engine :-)

The b16a , was the next gen of the zc - this is obvious as the d16a8 uses b series driveshafts (midshaft is a tiny bit
Different but still interchangeable) clutch and flywheel is same spline number etc.

Anyway , the second Honda made
The b16a is the second that WE should of all realised that the d series
Is a economy engine.

There was a few different D series equipped cars that came with optional LSD's.

That 130hp D15 had 3 stage VTEC too.
