That's what I was thinking of doing too.I'm just concerned about rising petrol prices...

Ask yourself what you want as a final outcome. (power goal or 1/4). Then start work on 1 single setup that will reach it. Either boost your motor, swap in a motor, or work your motor n/a. Working your motor n/a is going to be expensive with minimal gains past a certain point. The max potential of a 4k n/a setup on your y1 would be a mid to high 14, assumeing your not overly weighed down. (educated guess based on dseries forums in the usa).

actually, i think bone on onecamonly/d series has a low 13 second d, and it cost him less than 4k. but then again, its in an ED chassis, which is light enough to not need to be stripped.

i think bisimoto's original d series from when he first started drag racing cost him less than 3k to build and ran 12s.

honestly, theres nothing wrong with a d. power output might be low, but due to a lower valvetrain mass and cheaper parts, you'll end up spending less than you would to get the same parts for a b, and if everything is set up right, it will run on par if not quicker than a b.

as an example for cost, complete kms titanium valvetrain for a d costs $600, a titanium high revving valvetrain for a b can cost up to 2k. d series cams can cost around $200-ish for a regrind by bisimoto, b series cams are like $500-1k each.

oh and @Limbo, if d series civic motors and f series accord motors were never meant to go fast, then why is it that bisimoto can make them smoke most of the h, b, and k motors out there?

This is very very true.Ya gotta know what your doing.He and others have prooved it possible.Some of the d's on d-series.org can beat the b's.

How can you compare a highly established workshop which doesn't have to pay any labour cost, able to source very cheap parts and to fabricate parts themselve, has all the time and dedication to do R&D, to an average, non-automotive background person who just does the simplest bolt-ons to their Bseries?

With $4k - do a B16 Conversion and you'll be spanking All motor D-series setups all day long.

As fatboyz said, not unless you feel that you have something to prove like guys some guys on this forum, working the D-series is a waste of money.

where abouts can you get a 4k conversion in brisbane for a b16? id be super keen

Pm the man himself "barefootbonazi"

[B147ch]

i've decided not to spend any money on my d16; i'm quite happy with what power it puts out at the moment, maybe cheap little mods from here on would be ok but the future goal is a b18c r swap ooh yeah
