200kw d series turbo ? thats more than double the most powerful D series - like saying a B series with 300kw or a K series with 315kw. Have to be a hole lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$ !
Another thought is - a B or K series with 200kw will munch a D series with 200kw.

Hey guys
how often you hv to top up ur engine oil of SOHC VTEC engine?

I believe there's a little bit leaking from the VTEC solenoid.....and just top it up after 3000 ks....

Mine hardly ever needs toping up,then randomly but really not often I need to top it up just a little.

U probably need to change the VTec solenoid gasket,I believe it happens a bit,pretty common,nothing to worry about.

you can get a replacement OEM part from honda for $20-30. Is a bit of a mess to change because all the oil runs out when you remove it. Gotta shove rags down the back to stop oil running over everything. But if you're losing that much from the solenoid there is probably already oil over everything

i've owned my car for about 20 months, never had to top up the oil, serviced every 5000kms though

[beeza]

U could just drain the oil and put it back in then..

Jonny made 245KW in his D16A8 on about 30PSI. Ran an 11.6 ET. Cost him a whole bucket of $$$ but this was a good 8-10 years ago and it was pretty badass at the time. Has been swapped for a B-series now. More potential, better power curve etc.

There's smoke coming from the exhaust when VTEC kicks in and the way it smokes is like oil leaking rather then burning.....sometimes I could see oil stain on the left handside from the engine head down the block....at first I thought it could be from the distributor but then I try to touch everywhere of the engine and the VTEC solenoid is the only thing I could feel a little bit wet there

Hi guys,

just wanted to ask, if anyone has purchased the msd ignition kits for the d series off ebay? what are the sort of gains from a mod to the ignition?
I'm already using iridium spark plugs and ngk leads...would there be a difference?

Thanks;
Jaime
