Building up a D

[McChook]

lets face it a b-series into a 91+ civic costs at least $4000, I mean you do get a bit back with shit off your cut and selling your engine, but make sure you have at least $4000 coz doing the 100000km service plus all the little things adds up quickly. And thats before you call in anyone to help... prosuming you cant do it yourself.

Ask Cat_Spew how much his conversion cost....
It was only an example, not the be all and end all....

Having done a "wild" D16a8 before, they are hardly torquey down low. And by the time you add it all up, a B16a looked as though it would have been a better option... I have a mate who used to have an EF Si civic, and we spent big bucks on the engine... in the end, I don't think it was worth it...

Im taking this all onboard.

There is no reason as to why i would keep the D its just that everything on this forum is all about the B series.

Some may choose the D to work with cause a transplant isnt involved.
It isnt doesnt seem to be done often. Seemingly to be a deadend engine or not.

I dont think my D series has much in the way of low end compared to my old b16a. Figure wise there may be a significant difference but the way i drove it there seems to be little difference.

I want to do a mini-me conversion it will be the next mod to happen.

hey foz man, **** what everyone says bout the b vs d.

you cannot win the conversaion with out wooping their arse.

i admit it would be much more expensive to get build an allmotor D. but not impossible!

my question is: what would be cooler to say?

i have an allmotor 13sec. d16
or
i have an allmotor 13sec b16
??????

or for the money u've spent on the d u could prolly have an 11 sec b.

13sec D16???? ROFLMAO

The US "Junkyard-turbo" D16s may do that - good luck with it in NA spec at a reasonable budget

ALLMTE had a 12 second B20/B16 hybrid in an incredibly light 3rd gen Civic - I'd like to see you match it with your D series and hit 11s phat_ciVic

McChook - was that Ted's ED6 with the ZC dropped in?

You will have to be at >700kg and more than 13:1 to get 13's with a D. Not bagging you guys but your talking about performance that people with a HEAP of more experience haven't achieved
