Well, the P&P'd D15B7 head is on... It also has a ported t/b, GUDE street cam, 5angle valve job, and cam gear. Once my break-in mileage period is over.. I'll have it dyno tuned and post up some numbers and video. I'm still waiting for my ECU to take advantage of the cams ability, but for now... there is a nice bump at 3500rpm... I don't want to rev it too high until the valves settle in. But it does sound like a Prelude on steroids.

DragII

you have done more to that engine than anyone I know....let us know when you dyno it...I'm dying to know what it puts out.

MrDX

I just like trying stuff that most people won't do... I'm really wanting to see what the dyno graph curves shows.

willyboyK20

hey where did you get the job done. I was thinking about going the same route with my ex. That's going to be a serious sleeper. Also how much did the gude cam cost

MrDX

I had it done at South Florida Performance for $800... Stage 3 P&P, 5angle valve job, new valves, retainers and locks. The GUDE cam ran me $260 from ARD performance, but GUDE I think is having a birthday sale, and they knocked off about $80-$100 on their products.

MRXMUFFIN

Did you get their ECU too. i got Gudes head and cams in my LS teg and was wondering about their ECU.

MrDX

I have a spare ECU coming, once it gets in... I can send that one in as a core. I will get the ECU as well.

Mista Bone

Dyno it..........
if you get 118 whp/135 crank hp or less, I can tell you how to do it cheaper.

Just I/H/E and a CRX Si cam.

Wait for the long rod version and 8500 rpm limit. Notice I was still making power when 6800 rpm limiter kicked it. Might have got 120 on a good day

sohc_boy

finally d-series tuners!!!!!!!!!!!!

MrDX

Everything looked reall promising since I bought the car 3yrs ago... with I/H/E combo, it got me 101.1 hp and 95.2 ft lbs also making power til the rev limiter kicked in... The CRX si cam is a great idea... I've read about it getting done in a book that I have, but since the head was ported, I needed a funkier lobe on the cam to get it to breath right as the rpm's go up. I'm just happy that it's on... I do notice a little bit of lag below 2500rpm but it's nothing that concerns me since I do 4000rpm launches off the line at the track.

Just a hint for those doing the D-series build-ups.... the valve springs are good for revs upto 8400rpm... If you go with stiffer springs, you will get premature wear on a GUDE and factory cam due to the newer springs increase the lift pressure.

hvtec93

thank you i did not know that
my ecu will allow me to rev to 8500 my soft rev limiter is set at 8000
and i shift at 6800 for now

The power in the D series is there...I'm glad that someone is finally trying to get it out of those motors.

There is a guy locally who has a D16a6 that makes 135 at the wheels. He had a race motor builder build it for him. That thing pulls like a madman and will give my R a run for its money.

hvtec93

if you do your things right D is very capable engine

WAFFLES

A couple of questions for my d series guys:
I have d15b7 I think(not sure if it's 7 or8)
anyways I am building an ls/vtec right now and I might change up later on down the road to my stock d15 but only turbo the **** out of it.
1. What kind of mildly reliable power can I produce with a built d15 and turbo?
2. How strong are the internals, stock
3. Is it really expensive to make a lot of power out of one?

I'm not really a d series person, but if I can build a mid-13 sec turbo d, then that would kick ***.

hvtec93

you can build a mid 13 sec d non turbo, one of my boddies has that with 12.1 compression and all other goodies non vtec runs mid 13's

90accord1

damn i give you d series guys mad props for doing that. i just took the easy route and stuffed the b16 in the civic hatch

Chugger

i've got a gude tb and a gude 96-99 sohc vtec cam coming the 96-99 cams are more aggresive than the ones for the 92-95 then maybe a 98 d-series head for higher compression well damn im tellin all my secrets shhhhhhhhhhh

mr2

lol goo djob.. got pics?

Total Eclipse

Alright........im interested in doing a SOHC swap into a hatch possibly.........so what about stroking the motor? I know that Bisi has one in his 11 second all motor car.....i'd imagine that the streetable version of that motor would run pretty well......anyone doing/done/heard of this?

gubo do you have 1/4 times for you car?

gubo22

no 1/4 mile yet but with just ihe on the cx motor i got 15.85
going to dyno on nov 10, will post up a video of hopefully a 140+hp run
