Lets Talk d-series

[bennjamin]

Lol

I had a TODA flywheel for d series... Hand delivered by mr TODA AU himself early one morn years ago. Worked well. But then again , I had the only d series ever worth mentioning in history (d16a8/zc).

I quickly learnt that d series are weak power weak internal and just not worth time modifying AT ALL. Spend the money on a mortgage or food.
My 2 cents

i like my lil sohc y1 - reminds me of my first exa turbo

What da hell do you mean I'm buying parts that don't exist? You freaken calling me a liar or something? Well I hate to break the terrible truth to ya but Exedy lightened flywheel do exist for the D-Series. Here's the packaging I have at home to 'prove' that I did really buy the parts.





Here's the link with the information. http://www.racinglab.com/exedy-flywheel-hf501.html

And just in case you say it's not right, doesn't fit... I have it in my car atm!

You may be a respected tuner... blah blah blah, but seriously that post just made you sound like a douchebag. I'm simply looking at my options cause if I don't need to go B-series for my power expectations then I won't, providing it'll be a realistic with $$$. At the end I may end up with the B-series but it doesn't help to do some research, which you obviously haven't done in regards to the D-series flywheel. Do your research before you acuse someone next time, it's sad.

IMO if people want to mod D series they should just do it, dont listen to other people saying its a waste of money, if your passionate bout doing it and want to see how far the motor can be pushed well you should go for it.
Money isn't everything in this world, the experiance of saying what you achived may be worth it. and if it isn't worth it, well it was great ride while it lasted

having fun doesn't mean being the fastest.

^^ Yes,something SOME will never get lol

Adrian,my one wish would be for U to sign up on d-series.org and say what U say about the d here,there.

I would LOVE for U to 'tell' all these guys who are PASSIONATE about the d-series engine just what a piece of shit it is,would LOVE that!

Post results hehe

I am not poor but I dont have money either

[bennjamin]

brett , the plain fact is D series do no do good numbers easily anywhere in the world. The only ones....are worked off their **** and highly strung and NOT daily drivers.
Any B or k or XXX series are already quick , and it takes little to improve them.

Having said that , YOU as a d series owner have to accept this - and accept that others have been thru this exact same process ( such as me ) and worked out the long way. You cant flog a dead horse.

Anyway , for what its worth - i love all you guys for sticking to it.

A question tho -

You , and others as d series owners......if you had a spare $5k-10k to spend in one hit on your car would you get a B series ?

Good question ben, but i think the people that do answer should specify whether they are after a performance car, or if they're just having fun with what they've got. Cause that one factor changes the whole situation.

FWIW, if it was me, and i had a d series car, it would probably be my daily driver. Not because i already have another car, but because its NOT a performance car in my mind. I'd probably do a few things to it (nice muffler, panel filter, a gauge or two for engine monitoring and some stereo gear), but i wouldn't consider spending a large chuck of money like that on the car AT ALL.

For 5 - 10k i could get a new daily driver for the next 5 - 10 years lol

Ah huh ! Another bites the dust n joins the dark side. You , as a D series enthusiast said yourself

give the engine as much power as i can without putting in a turbo or engine swap, get a few bars for the suspension.

And , the fact is the engine as it is will make as much power as it ever will

well having a y7 auto not much power, and seeing how a b18c goes.

thats what changed my mind

[beeza]

I'm not looking for power benny.I'm after the most perfect balance I can find between power,weight and handling.

And that's a GREAT question,one that REALLY has no definate answer for me.I mean a b18c with I/H/E ECU OR y8 with I/H/E ,port work,cam,ECU.Great question,both would be great.

I would have to have to go the d to be different

I Love the simplicity of the d,always will.

[JasonGilholme]

I Love the simplicity of the d,always will.

at the end of the day, theres not much difference between the two that would concern the user. Maybe the servicing but the difference wouldn't be that much if you look after your D already.

Are you sure you're in love with the simplicity of the D or in love with the simplicity of not having to do a conversion??
