Lets Talk d-series

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 to make it run smooth but it can be done.

120+ KW ATW is achievable.

Have you built this combo before ? or is it just what you have read on the net.

Read on the net

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

[ALLMTR996]

haha I know what you mean turbo they are ok and fun

Which is probably about 100kWon an Ozzy dyno anyway.
Looking into the B option. BTW the one in tweed was sold.

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 the D and can't afford to pay for the work or DIY.

I was thinking of doing it but changed my mind and will try a turbo since I turn 25 this year

If thats the 137kw D that was in Sydney it was just a dream.

No, was in Melbourne.

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

I don't understand the non-believers. It's just a damned engine lol. Take it apart, make it run high compression with an aggressive cam and it will make power. Pretty simple, more complex to actually do of course, but obviously there's the potential to make power in most platforms if you know what you're doing.

[ALLMTR996]

All good there are a few things in the thread that he says one thing and pic's show something else so 161hp is 119kw so my OEM build 99kw D was ok then.It was good to see that someone had a go at a D but like most he sold up and went to another platform.

[dougie_504]

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.

Compared to most other SOHC 1.6L's from other manufacturers they're actually very strong engines.
