no. ur best bet would be to turbo an HF due to the low compression. with the HF's strong tranny u'll be running 13's

Honestly if you are goin to dump all this money into a motor that hasnt that much potential, why dont you just invest into some make more sense power and go B or K series, with the same amount of money you could obtain the same power that you would with spending 1,000 dollars on the D series. Just kick back and think about it.

That's just wrong, have some mercy.

And I'll let you slide because you just don't know better. Anyhew, it takes more then just an engine to run a 14 second quarter, you have to account for drivetrain, traction, chassis configuration, and driver skill. To put this into perspective, a newb in the Forced Induction forum was complaining last week about only doing a 15.42 with a boosted B18C5. If you suck as a driver or if a setup is done wrong you wont go fast, simple as that. Also, asking how fast you would go in the quarter in this forum and most others in the Honda-Tech community is a big no-no, a sin called E-RACING.

On the matter of the HF transmission it is good for Fuel economy and that is it, end of story.

And you are also a fool. $1,000 on a D-Series gets you a nice homemade turbo seup and off you go in the general area of 140-180whp and 140-170 ft-lbs. ~Disclaimer~ This is just general from what I have gathered from not only this sites Forced Induction Forum, but also from other forums not limited to but including Turbo D16. A B-Series Swap at going rates, not "I got a deal from my brother's friend's cousin's mother's third boyfriend", is going to go well over $1,000. And a K-Series swap in our chassis is going to be pushing nearly $8,000 when all is said and done, and that is rough number not including the hood you will need to make it fit.

You must not know ****. The only way you are going to get a b-series swap for $1000 is if you buy a car that was wrecked(90-93 integra), and even then you wont have as much power as turbo zc or even most 1.5 engines, excluding the hf and cx engine. D-series have lots of potential, not as much as a b-series engine but they have enough. Just look on d-series.org, or turbod16.com.

the HF tranny is the absolute worst tranny for acceleration. You're better off with ANYTHING other than the HF tranny. DX is a grand step up from the HF. Si being the best (ZC is basically an Si tranny with a DX final drive, also very good)

Also, the HF engine is an 8 valve, making it terrible for any type of boosting... along with everything about that engine incld. the cams and the intake mani make it horrid for any modification. You, my friend, need to read up on these cars before you shoot your mouth off.

im not retarded, i was being sarcastic. But ill stop being a *****. Ive heard of low 15's on a mini me swap with ur basic driver and simple bolt-ons. I personally own a b16 but i think a sohc vtec is def a good choice. 500 dollars and a few hours and u got v-tec, add a junkyard turbo for cheap and ur set, where the hell could u go wrong?

On the off topic, wouldn't it be easier to say the only difference is the final drive? Ok, Back to the topic at hand.

i was responding to **** post guys. "(ZC is basically an Si tranny with a DX final drive, also very good)" should have jumped on that not on me. Why dont you just say its a DX tranny?. And its wrong.
