Lets Talk d-series

[cheapdouchebag]

my loan didnt go through for a ej8 =[
ah well
now its time for a fake payslip from the boss i guess haha

i gotta say, as much fun n power n crossover n what not a b16a gives compared to a D, a D engine is cheap as chips, and very good to learn how to drive well in a really spirited manner.

on a side note - doesnt apply to me yet, hows a d-series car cope with dc2 suspension? or is it just better to get cheap coilovers? just curious theres a bit of trade off there in terms of money

ej8 is d series anyway...

ek9 suspension would fit up easier, but every day coilovers are getting cheaper

I'm going to change the FD in my gbox, raise it to 4.9, replace a few gears, install lsd and look at the condition of the oem syncros

hey guys I have a ek1 cxi with the standard d16y4 in it. The engine is about to die, and im getting a replacement d16y4. Is the head interchangeable with the dohc or sohc vtec head?

The car is boosted btw, and im trying to work out the best / cheapest option for me. Without forging the engine, what PSI and compression can I safely run? Do I have to get a decompression plate etc?

Your help is greatly appreciated,

Skiiboy90.

get a d16y8 complete engine package, be a great based up to 7-9psi (even though I have a bud who runs 15psi in his and has been for the past 3yrs without fault)

prob set you back maximum 900 for a clean motor and parts

how far south in Brisbane are you btw?

live at carindale man.

Why go the d16y8 over the y4 or y1? DOHC? would you pick the y1 over the y4...can the y4 handle the boost?

and will i need to change my turbo manifold / mounts etc if i go with the y8? sorry for all the noob questions, im totally fresh to the honda world......

[EK1.6LCIV]

any engine can handle moderate levels of boost (7psi) if it's in good working order (compression is aok, not leaking oil everywhere, etc)

manifold will be fine

Y8 is vtec Y1 and Y4 isnt, both SOHC, single cam, if ur engine is ****ed try to get the Y8 just as much as the Y4 but u get a small amount more PWRRRRRR
