Lets Talk d-series

[TheSaint]

if the engine is obd1 and the car already has a vtec engine than labor wont be very much at all

[NelsonLSY]

would that be OBD1? that's a Del Sol shell

[bob carrr]

is a d16y8 any fun?

[TheSaint]

pretty sure the Del Sol is OBD1 - what year is the shell?

what kind of question is that bob carrr??
any engine can be 'fun' inside or outside of a car lol

the D16y8 is pretty much the best D-series platform you can get
but in australia it only came in the EJ8 Coupe Vti

[bob carrr]

lol, idk.. i'm new to this whole vtec thing..

[mugen_ctr]

is a d16y8 any fun?

is it fun? ummm for a daily yes it is

add some boost, it will be even more fun

[bob carrr]

is it fun? ummm for a daily yes it is

or should i jsut get a b18c to start with? : )

[Chriskoss]

Yes,it'll be fine Chris!

Nulon 5W-40 + Liqiud moly's low friction oil treatment is the bomb combo!

(bit late reply..)

Thanks mate! Can always count on you for sound advice!

each to their own

Ive seen to many b-swaps, might as well just start off with a b-swap car, makes more sense doesnt it? lol

Boosting a d-series is in a nut shell, different here in the land down under.... or better yet Supercharging em

[TheSaint]

D-series are fun because they are cheap and easy to build

but B-series are better all round because they have vtec on the exhaust cam as well as the intake - D-series only have it on the intake side
B-series have much better torque potential and tunability - but they are alot more costly and demanding on higher quality parts

Ah cheers mate.

Yeah liquid molys engine oil flush is worth doing for $15 too,great products liquid moly.

Try the upper cylinder head cleaner,U just put it in the fuel tank,cleans the upper engine real good

[TheSaint]

subaru upper engine spray is a great product as well - cleans out the intake manifold, throttlebody and gets into the ports + valves as well =)
