GReddy Kit + D16Y1 SOHC VTec E-manage Untuned = 97.5WKW Not Bad!!

[Lukezen27]

kool, once its uve got the BHG fixed, exhaust and what ever else needs doing it should put out some really good numbers
how many kms on your engine?

ive got 14XXXXkms on my d16y8, from what people have told me i wont need to rebuild it ... i sure hope so as its aaaaall adding up now

110,000 before rebuild

about 20,000 now

Yeah it dose add-up quick lol

[Weq]

Mate we all know you had the fastest D16Y1 round and we salute you!!

Now enough with the ****ing stupid comments!

I don’t mind your input but making statements like “ This is a typical Australian thread. not learning anything from other peoples previous experiences, and then re-inventing the wheel over and over” is just retarded.

I for one like learning things as I’m doing them and don’t have a problem spending a crappy $26 bucks on a bleed valve just to see what happens.

I’m fully aware I’d more than likely have to go electric after reading some of your early posts..




Yeah but there's no need to be an ass about it,,

Your not Alex

Im an ass about it because you are giving d-series a bad name. All the b-series guys come in here and all they see is weaksauce weaksauce weaksauce unreliable. Sorry if u dont like my attitude, but when u rep the d, u get it whether u like it or not. What also pisses me off is guys like TODA get mhad reps and still blow up peoples engines. Then they get more money cause they blame the components of peoples setups instead of taking the fall themselves, and to their rep. People come back to them with new setups, they blow them up and then once again play the blame game.

There is nothing wrong with your setup, there is nothing wrong with your engine management. You should of never blown a headgasket. What has happened is because you exhaust is too small, you wernt making the power it should. So on the dyno toda goes and up's the timing (just like dynodave and all the other experienced tuners) to gain more power and save his rep. Unlike b-series, d-series cant take timing for shit, and all it does is increase combustion pressures to the point were the sleeves move and the headgasket blows. (cause of the added pressures of the RS ratio(amoung other things)). It might not blow on the dyno, but just playing with the timing and settting it that high for a single run starts the time-bomb ticking.

10-14deg total timing at fullboost is all u run at upto 12psi.

The guys running 25psi on stock sleeve, vitara setups are running 3-6deg total. 25psi daily without a hint of blown headgasket. They are putting down easy 11second passes. All the bullsh*t tuners in this country spin is just because they have no idea how to tune a d-series.

Compared this to a guy running 18-20deg total on b-series setup at 10psi.

Now lets see, my advice for changing ur headgasket.

Felpro in the USA have copper coated gaskets. These are your best bet and can be used out of the box. If u get an OEM type gasket, copper coat it. 1 layer, let it dry fully. Apply another layer, let it dry fully. Finally the last layer. Let it get tacky then install. Torque ARPs to 75 (with moly lube) or 85ft/lbs (with engine oil). Anything less then the above, will only result in changing your headgasket again.

PS. Yeh you can learn things yourself, but dont tell me your boost conotroller issue only cost you $25. Add dyno/labour time to that equation also. I got given lots of bad advice. Wasted lots of hours. and lots of burnt knuckles.

[Limbo]

just on a note, luke's prob happened before he even boosted it, its only after that he figured out it was a blown gasket.

[grumpy rooster]

Copper gaskets are the work of the devil.

The head gasket was gone before I every rolled into TODA the problem just increased with boost

I just assumed the radiator was ****ed and it only happens now and then..

The timing close to stock on my motor and turning had nothing to do with it.

Adrian installed the $26 and tuned for close to nothing and I got beers..

I never said anything was wrong with my setup or I wouldn’t have brought this kit and after years of researching as you already know..

Even Adrian admits the US per-tuned kit is great value and not once has he bagged me out about it.

[TODA AU]

Im an ass.

Yes you are...

Re your post...
You couldn't be more wrong as to why this car has an issue.
And you're way off the mark again with regard to the timing.
But that's beside the point.
I'm sure you'll find something else to rant & rave about...
Then as usual, turn it around & make it all about you...

Anyway go on... Reply... Throw a tantrum you moron.

[NightKids]

Hmm i'm curious to know who's right & wrong here....

[sinobi]

my friend pulled 132kwat the wheels
with his bold on kit from the us
on his d16
but i had to pick on him to soon when he tune that time cause he still needed a f/pump plus f/reg
then he ****ed up my life
cause i no for sure his pullin over 150kw at the wheels now ez
now i hab to get a snail too...

Yeah we pulled 129kw at 12psi but that's a bit to much boost for my liking lol

150kw on the D16 with stock internals?

[lukecivic]

150kw on the D16 with stock internals?

if so ....poor d16

[fatboyz39]

D series motors are cheap....could someone do a trial how much boost they can hold. I'd gladly donate one my d16y1 motors if there one blows up.

Yeah man

We can work something out
