Well you read the title i am looking for low dollar mods beside the usual intake header to mod my old d-series I was think mini me It is nothing i have read mcuh about is there alot of detail in doing this? I am used to b-series but i want to have some fun with a d for awhile

200 shot of NaaawwWWwWWWwwwwWssssSSss!

it will be really fun for about 5 seconds

A mini-me would be a good idea. D series don't repond very well to bolt-ons. So intake, intake manifold, header, and any other mundane bolt ons will help but not by much. If you want to get decent power out of it without much trouble the easiest route would be forced induction.

well d16y8 tranny is a plus. y8 block and z6 head. or just go for the typical turbo,

willyboyK20

if u look around u can usually find some goods deals on the usual bolt ons for the d motor. With ebay alone and a total of $650 i got i/h/e. Its not much but the car is noticably quicker than stock. I think the biggest difference i felt was from the 4-1 dc sports header though

BlendedEJ8

well, i have a KKK03 turbo f/s for a d-series. would be fine. i run I/H/E and adjustable camgear. runs nice for me. its a fun lil car. i like d-series

greddy kit was fun on my d series

AHH D series motors are the ****... i love my z6... i had a b20a5 in my old school lude that was garbage... a friend of mine had a d15blah blah blah and i wanted a single cam motor bad... i dont know why.. so far... i've seen that they are almost indistructable... i donno.. i just have alot of faith in them...

i have i/e on mine and it feels pretty good, getting a header soon and i know ill feel that extra pull. either way, im pretty happy w/ the power so far

and why wouldnt they?

I make 120 WHP with bolts ons and a CX exaust

spock_rocker

home made turbo project!! a b-series TB, Z6/Y8 intake manifold! so some searching.. im sure you will find alot!

piscorpio

Don't forget, if you have a non-Si/EX d-series, you can always swap in an EX/Si transmission. That could make a big difference in acceleration.

blackeg

some people might not agree, but a nice lightweight flywheel would be nice- makes the revs go much nicer. its fun to rev quicker. oh yea- turbo is fun too

same...before i fried my piston rings

shiftgear8000

I would say, go for the ex/si tranny....and a z6 or y8 head.

Persoanlly, I love the greddy kit on my y8...now I'm going for a custom kit w/ a t3/t4....awesome fun

menkio

yawn, if you can't pay, you can't play.. next

the buddha

yeah I'll have to go with 200 shot of nitrous also that would be fun

97mini-me

I had a 5th gen si tranny and a y7/y8 mini me. Other mods included flywheel, clutch, hi flow cat, and custom exhaust. It was a pretty fun setup. I would have to say that the best bang for the buck was the tranny. That made a nice difference.

Not true, low budget speed is essentially what made modifying Honda's attractive. There are plenty of folks who have done alot with a little inginuity, junkyard scrounging, and hard work. These aren't Porsches we're talking about.

turbo or nitrous

::raises hand in agreement::

I am living proof that you can put together a decent honda for cheap

I drive a Del Sol with a LS swap and a JDM GSR LSD tranny, some rare JDM wheels, Tunabe Super Racing Medallion exhaust, suspension and I can't forget to mention my COMPLETE (front and rear brakes and sway bars) GSR brake conversion including MC/BB and prop valve for 90 bux

My car cost me less than $3,000-3,500 in total

I am known by friends (in my dorm) as the local parts store and extreme deal finder
