[Sexc86]

stop gettin so defensive man... quote me anywhere that i have said anything to disagree with you... the only thing out of that i am interested in and i respect is this statement

"I have agreed that if you have a d series engine your better to turbo it rather then doing an engine swap "

thats what the thred is about.... cheers (Y)

quote
"have failed to see that i've pointed out the fact that the B series is the PERFORMANCE engine of the two and that your better off starting with a car that has a propper engine.

They're both 1.6 litres, and when they're both NA the B series kicks shit all over the D series cause the B is the performance bred car! (hence the different power outputs from your stupid reply earlier in the thread HAHA) The d series engine was for the shopping malls, not the race tracks.

By all means you can run around in your car with a turbo and think its race worthy but at the end of the day just remember that when theres a b series with the same mods as you, you might as well just pull over and turn the car off."

100% agree with you (Y)

Well I'm not Brisbane. I am QLD but.... and I am interested in the cruise, I have my name down - at the moment.

At the end of the day. ALL engines have their limits as far as reliability and power goes, whether it be NA or forced induction.

I don't see the point of building a turbo D series when there are alot better motors out there these days. A stock H series engine in an EG can pull at 13.5 down the 1/4 mile, and as far as i can recall, H motors cost around 3-4k. Cheaper than the turbo D series setup.

End of day summation: turbo'ing a d-series is always going to yield a better hp/$ figure than building up an NA b-series. If you think that hp/$ is the be all and end all of building up a package, then you're really not doing yourself any favours by driving a small capacity honda from the outset.
There is oh so much more to a motor than power output; power delivery, noise, feel, tractability, RELIABILITY, revability, fun factor, transient throttle response, economy etc.


VTEC is overrated?
VTEC is this shizznit.

Why dont you just show us your time slip. It will show alot of what your car is capable of.

all engines has there limits yes and d defantly doesnt have the potential of others. and there are alot of other factors as well. in saying that i dont no why ppl write our cars off due to the fact that its a d. like was just said, many factors contribute.

[[ricer]]

lmao

turbo D is purely for wank factor

if your serious about performance and reliability on the track then N/A B or K series motor..

fast cars like 200kw+ atw D series turbo... whats the point? wow u go fast straight... lol... BORING...

rather a 125kw type R anyday...

ffs grow up everyone and stop posting crap. Dont talk about racing on the street at all.

Any more thoughts or experience on D series turbo ? Because i only know ONE d series turbo that was decent and whipped a few cars. Mind you , it had faults and alot of teething problems apparently.
Any mroe crap and this is closed as usual

[supersamEK]

turbo D is purely just a bit of fun.

as any mod on any car.. a bit of freakin fun.

Pretty much no1 here is gonna win/gain nething or become famous for being the fastest.. b nor d.

have your fun..and stop ****ing with others. pretty much none of us are pro racers.. with pro racer cars... buy a ferrari if u wanna be the best.

this is such a long thread, hahaha d series turbo vs b series
having been in both, i love both, just mainly the question how much money you got to spend?
d16 turbos are great but ill choose a b18c7 over it anyday, newer motor, NA, lower maintaince and just as fun
d16 turbos are fun too, i've taken down a b18c7 eg
straight line performance- d series ftw
track- b series ftw!
