How does it run? What standard car would you compare it to now in terms of acceleration?

a mate from bel garage took it out for a drive and said it drove exactly like his 20 valve turbo he built, which i was very honored to hear...

for luken27 its my second motor...
first motor was built wrong, which is a trial and error that you learnt as well, you gave up on the d'z where i wanted to solve the problem

Yes the ZC kills the SOHC on torque

Best D every for boost hands down

I wouldnt say better, just easier to extract power. Building a boosted D is much better cause its more of a challenge...

That's why he's only running 11psi on a built motor

D16 blocks are everywhere bud, cheap as bloody chips. i could pick up a block & head & g/box for about the same price as just a B16A g/box...

Alot of people seem to underestimate the Ds. Extracting power is alot harder, but once you've mastered the skill, the D is truely a nice little single cam engine...
