I just question the reliability of a turbo d-series in the long run, i.e take it to the track and drive it hard for the whole day, im sure the something is bound to go wrong. Compare to a b16a, im sure it'll have less chance of breaking down.

As fishman said, timeslips proves it all. Dyno power deosn't prove anything until you take your car down 1/4mile and see what MPH it pulls.

My car makes 80 odd kw atw and does 14.7 down 1/4mile. Im sure this time has upset a few d-series turbo setup.
man this thred is aimed at people who have a civic/crx who have a standard Dseries in there.... im not saying to people who have b h k's they should swap them out and replace with a D.... its letting people know they dont have to Get rid of there d if they want some more performance...

When you say your sure that something is boud to go wrong to do make that statement with any experience at all? or is it just a stab in the dark?

Sounds like you do some good times im guessing in a crx? a good mate of mine here in brizo has a gen 2 d16a with a bolt on turbo setup... goes very very well should see if i can get him out and do some runs and get some slips and paperwork... i know from memory hes around a sec slower then 14.7 though (could be wrong though)
