Lets Talk d-series

[~Sp33~]

just get the rebuild kit with the vitara pistons

That's one way to reduce your engines power.

'p76' pistons are the go.d-series guys always talk about em'

[mugen_ctr]

isnt using vitara pistons used to lower compression, and useful if ur boosting?

Yeah.

Boosting is really the only way to build power out of a d16, hence my suggestion of the vitara pistons steve

affordable enough to do reliably

good clutch kit (exedy cushion button comes to mind)
#1500 kit from rocket or a fullrace kit for all of the needed turbo parts minus cat back system
professional installation for kit (if need be, I'd be more inclined just to have a good electrician finish it off really as most is pretty straight forward)
tune
suspension
decent road worthy rubber

spending money on replacing:
water pump
cam and crank seals
oil pump (replacing it when the sump is off for the bung to be installed would be advised as theyre pretty cheap to get a hold of)
all the belts (ac, ps, etc)
timing belt
tensioner pulley
valve cover gasket
sump gasket
tube of hondabond
rear main seal (as you're getting a new clutch it's easy to replace then)
optional dizzy o-ring if you feel the need as they do fail after a period of time

a heck of alot of fun for a good price, 7psi easy driving conditions fun on a good budget, without living on noodles or breaking the bank too hard

any more and you'll have to replace the conrods, pistons, etc (well it's advised, seen one qlder using 15psi daily for the past 4yrs without trouble but better to use parts on a application to application basis)

Oh i missed the part where you mentioned the turbo.

im saying bye bye to my d15b 3-stage vtec right now. it just wont let go.

just over minimum oil , realised i got a leak somewhere when i parked it at my apartments garage in lakes entrance, not major but just small small drops
flogg the crap out of it but i still do warm it up to optimum temp where the needle is about a little under halfway point
etc. etc.

it just wont die lol honda have made their engines like it was going to go to the moon or someshit
only reason im doing this is so i have an excuse for my old man to help me scrap my automatic to get a manual car. thinking of a prelude 3g or even a vti eg (im not a rich fella, actually WAYY behind it i live payday by payday).
just as long as its manual (this auto box is killin me! i really want to use a stick) i have a habit of letting go of the gas at 2.3k rpm and putting it back on so it acts like a manual regardless if its not as fuel efficient or not rofls. im that bad.

got a b16a long blok lying around in my garage but no use for it. ima keep it there in case i wanna use it in the future. but if i end up getting a vti, that b block wont go in, id like to play with a d first

in all respects to this thread n fellow d lovers, i love the d, but it aint really neck to neck against a B series.

BUTTTTT
there has been one whack occasion where ive done a commodore style race against a GSI integra, and i was always ahead of him by at least my front fender since take off. that was the most WTF moment ever. and i had a fat passenger in the front seat too lolol. guess either d-series are actually not THAT bad, or that other guy was just a shit driver, but i heard his car screaming. he shifted pretty well.


well thats some nice d vs b spam in this thread.

[mugen_ctr]

hahahaha, commo race... , but aniways, D-series im finding is good, but not upto where id like it to be... spending on it alone isnt justifiable as well, unless boosting, which i prbs do very last.... or drop in b18, depending on the situation im goin for in near future
If they had made the d-series Y1, Y8 in dohc, an not talkin about zc, and with the current Vtec system, it would make for awsum tuning platform.

thinking of a prelude 3g

I really like these, but they're hard to come by in manual. Apparently they're a bit of a weapon in the corners.

Hi Timmy!

There's plenty of fast d's in the US and Europe,they are out there,built cheaply and fast!!

It's all about the knowledge and we here in AUS simply don't have it but with the net it's a simple as a click away!
