Tips for my D16a8

**geo41e** · 14-07-2004 05:46 PM

heya dudes...just wondering if it is worth it getting an Apexi S-AFC II for my car.

currently running a D16a8 with Js racing air intake, headers and mufffler and soon a 2" cat back pressbend.

Now i know u can get cams, valve and valve springs, but thats alot of $$$.
If i purchase a S-AFC II, will this increase power by tuning it right from the mods i have currently done?

what do u suggest ?

Swap a B-Series
its hard to get gains out of a d16a8

but if ur happy with a little power increase not sure who makes agressive D series cams , crower springs to mind

as for replacing valves and valve springs cant see really any big gains there

aftermarket [acronym:9157afd2e3="Engine Control Unit"]ECU[/acronym:9157afd2e3] would be ur best bet and a good tuner

but whatever floats ur boat

y does everyone here the D series so much?
he asked a simple question about an SAFC and you give him a list of expensive options instead of answering a simple question.

if those mods are already in there then yes, you will benifit from, SAFC tuning.
it won't actually be much more power, but you will feel an improvent in power delivery.
not 100% sure on wat u can do with the SAFC but i was quite impressed after seeing the difference an e-manage tune did.

.. insert HATE or DISS or YUCKIFY i take it ?

Anyway...another can of beans opened here....Mateoo....you didnt help this thread one bit at all. Throwing a "veetekk" engine in isnt the answer to all lifes
problems , it wont get you laid AND it WONT make a shit driver any quicker.

Jeff - i suggest you join D-series.org !!!....and learn anything and everything about YOUR engine series...not from a mixture of opinionated google-searcheres.

See ya there Jeff

yeah nice ben.

dude there are heaps of things you can do to boost power that isnt too much money.
throttle body, cam gears, they arent that expensive.
whats your defintion of too expensive?
the d16a8 deserves more respect than it gets.

people swap engines like its the new chrome.
if you have had your car for a while and you know whats its done id say get some bolt ons and do some tuning.

thanx beenss and others
by expensive..l mean more then 2K...coz cams and the other stuff are prety expensive...

oh yeah.and whats the point of getting adj cam gears ?? i thought it wus pointless if ur internals are stock. It just changes the powerband or something?

geo, d16as are the dohc variant of the honda engine, if u can live witha lumpy idle, get some ahrdcore cams and gears, then ecu. good power to be had from that.
