Actually, I put one of those N*power headers on my D16, and it made a HUGE difference, the car was more responsive right through the rev range, revved out much faster too.
i didnt have to flog it as hard to get up hills, it was an instant increase in torque - i dont doubt that a flywheel would do similar, but the header provided better value for money

I need a new clutch so I'll probably do the clutch flywheel combo...headers a while after that maybe..
On another note, was about to change the oil the other day, bought Honda oil + filter from the local Honda dealership, I asked if the filter would fit, the mechanic said one filter fits all hondas (I noted this was an imported d16) he said meh. Anyway, Got back home to change it and noticed the width of the filter installed is larger than the honda oem one, didn't want oil to go all over the place so im waiting to find out if it will fit. Anyone know?

Have to agree with Ben.
I've put plenty of headers on plenty of D series motors.. I never learnt from my mistakes lol.
Most common oil filter for the D series motors is the Z79A
JDM D15B - you wouldn't understand

yeah i noticed a massive difference in midrange torque as well on my D15b7 - made daily driving so much easier
a flywheel will actually decrease torque in low/mid range but the car will rev and respond a hell of a lot quicker

Cost you $2000-3000 and it'll be fun!
not even that if its a D-series lol

I'm so smrat.
Bought exedy 6896HD clutch for ZC ef7. Have now learnt that I need a 212mm clutch instead of 200mm (d16a8).
What clutch do I need for the ZC? I can refund this straight away or replace it for the right exedy clutch if they make it.
Should've asked here before I bought it derp.

Most shops will happy to swap for the right clutch
Something else to look out for is splines on input shaft on your gear box if it a 20 or 21 went you pull it out

Hi guys. Going to attempt oil and filter change on my civic.
At 122,000 kms.. Healthy strong engine thats been serviced frequently.. what oil should I be using. Is a thinner oil still ok to use like 5-10w - 40? Thinking of 10w-40 as supercheap has a sale on this type of castrol oil atm
If not, what brand and grade oil do you guys reccommended for my beloved low km D series EK
thanks

10-30 or 10-40 for your daily. dont think it matters if its royal purple shit or just your regular magnatec as long as your change oil & filter 5kkms.

i would just use normal old Honda FEO 10w30 - had my D15b7 on this from 150k - 300k and its been great the whole time
on another note check out my build thread for the tare down of a D16y1 that i scored cheap
its snapped a con-rod from the previous owner over-boosting but the head is in great condition
either going to mini-me the head onto my D15b7 or find a D16 block to put the head on
does the block have to be OBD1? or can i get any D16 block and put the D16y1 head on it?
