What did you guys do with your old D series motor? sold it, trashed it, or still in the grage?

i HAVEtheADVANtage

i ate it.

i gotta go poo out some scrap metal. brb

Fowler.

Sitting around. Wanna buy it?

smnowell

Sold it. Only reason I would suggest keeping it around is if you either need a spare motor (you blow your freshly swapped B or H-series motor), or if you live in Cali and need to pass smog (swap old D-series in to pass, then swap your better motor back in afterwards).

we have a giant pile or d series trash in the rear of our old garage we rented with the appt. 6 to be exact. Imagine the landlords Face when he swings the door up

when i take my hx motor out for my b18c swap im putting it in my 92 hatch.

Well I still have my motor out of my si and a greddy turbo kit just sitting around...so someday when the wife aint looking maybe I will buy a shell.

Nah Im brave and all but that might be to much...

Sell it or trash it useless having a CX motor laying around in the garage haha just takin up more spaces.. Just keep the sohc vtec and trash the Cx,Dx motor.

i kinda regret selling my CX motor,..i sometimes think about what if i blow my LSvtec setup or B20 motor,...i think i might locate another CX motor,..but its gonna be hell driving around with a D series motor after driving my LSvtec or B20 all day hehe

also,..its kinda fun to disassemble your stock motor after swapping in another motor,...i like to take it apart and put it back together,..that is what helped me understand motors better

gave it away to my friend. the rod bearings were all burnt out...
That's what happens when you go too long between oil changes...

DOHCtorTHRUST

i dont really know what happened to my old motor, left it at my friends garaged and never went back to help him clean up...that was two years ago..... you brought up a good question.

I sold mine for next to nothing cuz I was short of money, but I would keep it around incase u need to swap it back in for awhile or something. OR u could make a gokart or sandrail with it, it would haul ***!!!!

i took it apart and learned from it.

if i had to do it all over again i would in a HEARTBEAT! i learned so much from disassembling that motor.

i still need to rebuild it just for ***** and giggles to see if i can.

madtownhonda

Put it in my hatch.

mugen76

strip it and sell it for parts on ebay. it's amazing how many people need map sensors, tps sensors, injectors.. yada yada...

yup exactly what i did just like i said above,...i learn alot also,..i know its not like my other 2 b series motors but,..once you disassemble it, it kinda takes the fear away from tinkering with your motor,...id do it again if i had a spare motor

ITRacer121

I plan on taking it apart and porting it. maybe trying my hand at it befor I do it on my B series

White Lightnin

I took apart the head on my cx to better understand engines. I then bashed the block and tranny to pieces with a sledge and then threw the scraps in a dumpster behind a bowling ally.

B_CRUZ!

trav

mines sitting in my garage. i havent really thought about what im going to do with it. i might just drop it in a eg hatch for a daily driver beater car.
