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??

haha LOVE ya Jase!

Looking forward to getting the cam in there,it gets sent here this week

Ignorance is bliss ahhhh.
Sorry Bezza but it's true, you'll get more torque, oem reliabilty, etc, etc from a b-series.

End of day you'll do what you want but you're better off putting that b18 in that you have sitting there.

hehe,do U do that much? Tell people what they are better off doing?

Freedom of speech, forums are a public space.
If you didn't want the public to voice their opinion, you don't post on a forum.

It's just the same thing being repeated over and over and over.

Tell ya what,give me $3k and I'll 'put it in'.

I mean,if I had the money I would put the b18c in there,DUH!

Guess what - NO MONEY!

Sorry to come accross as rude but cars cost money right? So how can U say jsut do this!

I mean if I could 'just do this or that' I bloody well would!

You do realise how much properly porting, etc costs?

What else do you need apart from maybe an exhaust modification to fit it into the car?

**redefine** · 16-02-2010 05:56 PM

yeah but a swap is expensive. You can still have fun in a d. I have heaps of fun in my d. Im agreeing with beeza now. Performance will come much later when i have money. Atm 4m just lookiog for cheap fun

Hmm...

When I first started out with cars, naturally I was heavily interested in my first car, a nissan pintara. That sported a wonderful KA24E.......I use to think it was the best motor in the world (not literally lol)

Anyway, I ended up rebuilding the engine myself with high comp pistons, rebuilt head, camshaft, tune, bla bla...It was "fun" but I got over it and wanted more power, so I researched engines more, alot like you guys now, but you seem to be only interested in camshafts by other people, probably because you don't want to re-invent the wheel again I say. I actually got that far, I had a set of prints I designed for the next motor, custom rods, pistons, cam, dual head swap, custom headers, intake, the lot. I knew the motors in the states in race cars pushed 345hp NA - this gee'd me up like crazy. I guess much like you guys and the bisi cars.

Now i'll be honest, don't bother with what you're doing, I mean keep the convo going and maybe keep it fun by talking about intake design one week, cam theories the next, etc etc but don't spend money on the D, as more days go past, your ring seal is degrading, and by the time you actually do get a decent head on that motor, the bottom end will need re-working, something you seem like your not prepared to do. I think I read auto in there somewhere, glhf with that.

I can see where Adrian is coming from, it is pretty silly to try and do what you're doing (no offense at all) but I was there once too and in hindsight, I wish I saved my money for something better. I will probably say it for anything I've done but who hasn't? If you must, go for it.. we only live once I guess.
