Agreed? why is it then that i can get my hands on the same internals and bolt on's that people can in the usa?

zco - mine is a d15b7 (SOHC 1.5 non vtec) Compelte standard engine, bolt on kit with microtec lt8 (standalone management)... the whole basic setup cost me abit under 3k tuned ready to go.... (however i saved a bit of money importing the gear from the usa and did all the installation basics myself)...

Last time i ran my car was a few weeks back, running 7psi... takeing into account and extra 100kgs of audio gear in the boot and 100kg worth of chrome rims (25kgs each) Complete as is show condition and a fuct clutch (slipping top end on gear changes) i ran a 14.5 @ 99mph....

No im not trying to make excuses i think its actually a pretty good time for the car and its circumstances... however its commen sense that its capable of better times if the conditions were different then as above... also makes 105fwkw

end of the day im not trying to make this about ME or MY car or MY setup..
no one believes me more then happy to show dyno sheets and my slips

If you want a good general overall idea of how Turbo D's run go through the links on my main post thats what they are there for!

Only his last setup was boost built = 200KW on the wheels or whatever it was..

I don't know buddy, why don't you tell me y about 5 other cars i know with D-series turbo run slower times than me in a stock b16? Dyno numbers mean nothing. Show me 1/4 times.

did you have any interior or any excess weight in your car running those times? didnt you have I/H/E on your b16? doesnt sound stock to me ? also man check the links on the first page should be a fair fair few turbo dseries 1/4 times there.... thats what the links are for

End of the day the links are there for a reason... ozzy engines are exactly the same as us engines... we have access to the exact same parts as them as well... we even have an advantage as they only have reg 94 octain fuel everyday access! we have up to 100!! they have the same potential hense thats what the potential of a boosted D is....

nothing different just because they are in a different country... man im just going around in circules... im off to bed

I agree, as the US will always be the US, and we will always be Australia, the sheep of every fcukin facet when it comes to fashion, technology...and cars when compared to the rest of the world.
Everything comes out and is implemented elsewhere first,
And by the time we catch up and produce the same sort of work, they would have created atomic bombs that fit in your jean pockets.

DYno number mean something!!! it will predict how fast are you going on the quater mile!! THEORITICALLY!

but as we know, tire spins, no tractions, wind, wheather comes to play.

basicly DYNO NUMBERS GIVE YOU a rough indication how fast your car should be getting to. give or take 0.5 of a sec.

**barefootbonzai** · 03-06-2007 09:30 PM

Yes my car has I/H/E. The eninge was stock. I drove my car straight from work to the strip. And i don't need to make excuses after i run times down the 1/4 like you.

**fatboyz39** · 03-06-2007 09:33 PM

Basic kit on a D-series motor is a total waste of money. Might as well go for b16a and turbo that later down the track hehe.

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.

yep theoritically. who cares about what it's could or might do. it's what it actually does that matters.

**Sexc86** · 03-06-2007 09:35 PM

i dont make excuses i state facts that gives room for improvement... as i said... plenty of proof on my first page... i can build an engine with the exact same parts as people in the usa it will have the same potential... simple common sense...

im pretty surprise people on here suppose to be open minded yet they will judge a WHOLE path of honda performance based on 1 or 2 cars..... and only see / believe what they want to see / believe...

glass is half empty when they want to be and half full on the flip side
