Just bought 20W-50 for my car, is that too thick ya reckon? Car drinks a lil oil, been through 10W-40, then 15W-40 would jumping to 20W-50 have any negative affects?
Engine is D16Y1

Top end = high rpm
mid = mid range rpm

Depends on your budget too, quality cai is roughly twice the price of a fake whale penis intake, if you want good power i recommend the fujita Cai intake for your ek, it uses a smaller diameter pipe than than the injen which suits the d16y4 better.

Fujita also have better quality pod filters too =)

the car should be running fine with 10w30
my D15b7 has done over 310k kms and still runs fine on Honda FEO 10w30

how many kms has it done? blowing any smoke etc?

might be worth posting in the noob section instead - probably get more general response to oil types there than in here

[dougie_504]

ahh thought he was running both shaft and gear

Misread you, thought you were asking about TheSaint ? using Bisi camshaft. He's not in any case.

Not sure about beeza, haven't seen him around in a long time! Could be...

Doesnt say what diameter the piping is and the pod filter may not be of high quality, you want your pod to filter well so your engines not constantly sucking in dirt n crap. I still stand by my recommendation of fujita as they have good quality pods and use a pipe diameter suited to the d16y4. "FUJITA 96-00 EK CIVIC HX EX"
is the one i have on my Ek.

[TheSaint]

almost the same kit as me with the black wrinkle piping etc
Fujita have a very good quality pod over other brands thats one thing i would have to agree on

i have to admit tho - the gain did not feel as dramatic in terms of response/power/sound when i put it on my D15b7 as when i put it on my B18c2
but i felt more of a difference with the whale type intake on my D-series - but when i put the whale type on my B18c2 it was the opposite
strange - the unit i put on the Dc2 was a stainless tube - and the one on the D-series is black wrinkle - would this affect performance/sound?

this is mine ...

isnt beeza running a bisi cam

That's right Danny,just a stage 1 Lyle..

I only went stage 1 so I wouldnt have to upgrade the valvetrain but it's true what they say,forget stage 1 and go stage 2.1 is ok but 2 would be best.

The d needs hi-comp pistons and a tune too.

If these things are done plus the usual mods,it would be a sweet ride.

I ran an open filter at Lakeside and was hitting the stock speed limiter,160km/h down the straight.Timmy hit 175km/h in his JDM b16 and a guy in a track car was @ 200km/h,so I was pretty stoked,it ran real well,just the tyres was adverage,I will post a vid soon.

why does your car have a 160kph speed limit?
