I know the d16y8's are vtec, i was wondering what other d series have vtec. Also my friend has a 94 Del Sol.. He wants to add nitro to it.. im trying to talk him out of it but he insists.. its got 80,000 miles on it and its an automatic.. what to you all think of the nitro idea?

The D16Z6 also has VTEC.

Nitrous will be fun until his tranny goes.

Yup, D series motors get huge gains from a little bit of juice but the tranny is the week point. Just installed a 50 shot NOS kit on my d16y7 a week ago, Exedy stage 1 going in tomorrow... I'd get rid of the auto tranny first, just my 2 cents.

Nazzz comes from nos... a company. No I mean nitro as in the fuel, nitrous oxide. Anyway, so you all think it would kill a automatic tranny? What about a manual transmission.

Nitrous oxide is an oxidizer. Nitro = nitromethane = Top Fuel

And yes, overtime it can kill an auto tranny. Especially one from a D series. Heat kills torque converters. At least with a manual tranny, the clutch can take most of the beating and can be replaced relatively cheaply.

brian if he insists let him do it but hes gonna **** up his car. If anything tell him to do a conversion to a 5 speed.

or @ least upgrade the torque converter if you do decide to install it...
