Lets Talk d-series

[dahon]

lolz we had this chat at the start of this topic... yeh it sux about the d series, shes a awesome engine just yeah.. its more economical/practical to work on the b's...
but if i had a jdm d15b on the other hand...

[beeza]

problem is guys...there is little or no one that has a d series that is pulling great or even good times down the 1/4 , and track. There is only bisimoto the world over....and that is with a small fortune chucked at it. So until d series cars start getting the mods and times , you lot are kidding yourselves. Instead of stating a d can have similar power increase for x amount of mods , someone here prove it to us too !

Well I've just been looking through the 1/4 mile times on d-series.org here and the times are between 14.5 and 16.5 seconds on adverage.In a b18c7,your looking at mid 14's stock right?

If this is correct then (as usual ) you are correct.

Taken from the same thread-

"Anyone in the 13's on this board? I've seen with my eyes, a 88' HF: D16A with ZC pistons, stock Y8 head, I/H/E, VAFC and AEM cam gear go 13.20's at 99mph on BFG's. Hard to believe but trust me, seeing is believing.

so thats using drag radials i suppose and probably stripped to the max... hehe.

on the onecamonly.com boards, SOHCinWA manages a 13.95 second pass with full interior, and theres an EG using a stock d15b motor with minor intake and exhaust mods running in the 13s (stripped out of course).

im just waiting for a throttle linkage so i can finally get around to fitting my twin dcoe40 carbs to my d15b.

modifying a d series all depends on what you consider a small fortune. bisimoto's first d series build was a street legal crx i believe that ran 12s with only $3000 put into it (using drag radials).

altho right now, considering the state of the australian economy, its getting more expensive to import parts from america, im lucky i managed to get most of the parts for my build before the economy died.

The cheapest way to a bit more power on D's would be....

Zex 59300 cam and spring/retainers tuned with Hondata

And if it's a y4 (non Vtec) go for a bisimoto re-grind cam,springs and retainers and tune with greddy e-manage.

But!

You can't change the rev limiter with E-manage Blue

So has to be Hondata

[[ricer]]

hondata on a y4 is so not worth the trouble

greddy it will have to be...

Hmm

So you buy cam and so on to rev higher but e-mange won't let you change the shock rev limiter is whats the point?

[beeza]

Hondata won't work on a automatic either (not that anyone has an auto except me hehehe)
