I would only do a big D-build if I won tats lotto and had so much money that I couldn't care where it was going...

What's a d15z2? Single or dual carby? I got one and it's gutless compared to the d15b4 I use to have in another eg.

Guys, you can get forged rods & vitara pistons from the US for under $1k aud. Only one cam to work with, so cam work will cost half the price. IMO the D is a perfect candidate for extracting power, however people get it in their heads that its going to cost through the roof, when in actual fact it aint.

Ive seen worked D16s pump out anywhere around 400-500whp, yeah i know that sounds crazy high for a 1.6l SOHC, but it is doable, & honestly that much power in a front wheel drive is just insane, id be mad happy with 150 - 200kw atws, thats a gearing changing traction breaker!!

Mate completely agree. However, Generally speaking, the culture in australia is to follow proven paths (especially those set by their close peers) rather then try something different. Also one of the major plus sides of a turbo D16 is low budget, and since there arnt many DIY backyard mechanics who can attempt a full blown boosted D16 eg.. pull down a motor, rebuild with new internals, fabricate plumbing, tune Ecu etc.... the only option is to pay a workshop, for most people the price is just too much and brakes the budget. Hence why you dont see many all out turbo D16 builds... and i doubt australia ever will.

Its one thing to budget just buying a part, but once you factor in.. Installation/tuning of the part into an existing setup, that budget easily blows out.

if its so cheap how come people dont do the pistons etc
so how many people on here have done it
havent seen one person post they have done these cheap mods to d series motors and get good power

and you dont need anything else to make the coilovers do their job
coilovers make the car totally different to any spring/shock set up
you have to get the correct coilover for your needs
spring choice is crucial for what you are going to use the car for

you dont need a bigger sway/bushes etc for the street
waste of money and time imo
occasional track yeah

Lan i can't understand your first paragraph. What are you trying to ask / say ?

if it is so cheap and makes good power
why arnt people doing this
lots of talk not enough doing in this thread

No one here has any high hopes of D-series, as pointed out, most ppl are sheeps, and are scared to try new things, which is why the states have much more hope in D-series, and have proven that D can make good power for what it is

I for one would boost my D, had i have the time and budget, but when the money an time comes around, definite yes to turbo D

Most ppl have the idea that B-series is the only way to go modding, but thats load of crap, D-series are good engine, just give it that extra boost, an it be as good as any B
