i am in the process of building a d15b2 with a z6 head, i have stuff like cam and springs,, i/h/e, underdrive pulley, chipped p28, ex head gasket, skunk2 cam gear(aem likes to jump)and im looking into act stage 2 flywheel and replacement clutch and throwout bearing. there was a big difference after i did the head swap and the bolt ons gave a noticeable gain, but i was mainly wondering if i am i wasting my time with the d-series motor

 

The best thing to do to a d series engine is to build it for boost. It has somewhat low compression and a sturdy bottom end. You're not really wasting your time with the d if you go this route. I did a y7/y8 mini me and some mods and wasn't really impressed (n/a). I switched to an ITR engine and love it.

If you are on a tight budget there are ways to build a cheap turbo setup. Just look around the forced induction forum, you'll find everything you need there.

 

i dont think its a waste of time....im in the process of collecting pieces too....nicely built SOHC motors will run with DOHCs given its not boosted or anything....some people have CRX HF with only I/H/E and run 14.2 1/4 with chipped ecu. I like the D series due to the fact that if you make it fast its more impressive. just my 2 cents

 

no i like d series as well, b is over priced and everything else requires fabrication for 88 91, gotta love interchangeable parts

 

show me any stock sohc motor that can keep up with any stock 16/b18c motor and i will praise your name like a mother ******, i have walked a few turbo d's that couldnt even hang.**** i have had a 80's something prelude keep up better.but this isnt my place so back on track.its not a waist,just tubo it.you have put a lot of time and effort into something why give up when there is so mucj more to gain?

 

I'm considering keeping my D15 to build once the new B18/B16 goes into it. Mostly for ***** and giggles...just to see what I can do. My friend's say it's a waste, but come on...that's mad props if your sohc 220K mile 1.5L engine beat anything. And dude...what an embarassment, LoL. I think it'd be fun

i cant think of any stock sohc motors that keep up with b series, except for the crv a sohc could keep up mabey.....

 

yeah i thought about that before hand even though i think a b20 can still school a d just incase i was wron gi onl put b16/b18c either way left over crack and cv ******* rock.brings me way back to the dirty-dirty punk rock days.

 

to build a a dseries motor that would inturn beat a b-series or at least keep up would be an accomplishiment, but putting lost of hard work and speneding lots of $$$ may not be worth it

you have to think....a stock 99 civic Si runs the quater at 15.7....stock crx Si runs 16.5....crx Si with mini me runs 15.5 with no mods.....but if you say a b16 in a crx that is a diff story.....it just depends on what you compare too....there are some people on here with mini mes stock can beat LS with ease...but like i said it just depends on what car you compare it too not just the motor...no **** a z6 will get raped by a 16 but a z6 in a crx hf vs b16 in a 99+ civic Si thats a whole diff story.....the crx will win every time....stock vs stock...just dpends on what car...
