so i see a lot of people throwing around lingo i have not a clue about. On one of my posts someone told me "do a N/A D series, but its pretty pricey" what does N/A mean? I feel

P.S. if anyone knows where i can find dual projectors(hi beams/lo beams) please include a link or at least point me in the right direction.

 

natrually aspirated means no turbo nitrous superchargers and such just all motor as some say

 

wow...i feel f'n stupid. I figured as much.

 

By the way NA D series is not a great idea. If must have a D series, boost is the only way(turbo)

 

hey we have all asked these questions at one point or another. And what the other guy said turbo is your best bet for power on a d-series

In your opinion - some people may disagree, like maybe everyone in this topic HERE &lt;--clickable

A few samples of engines that "are not a great idea"

Full street non-VTEC D16A6:



Streetable, but with sleeved block:



Something a little racier from Bisi:



So yeah remember it's not the empirical opinion that everyone shares that SOHC and/or D series are a waste of time to build N/A.

 

I guess i'm trying to get an idea of if i were to rebuild my d16y8. would it be worth it?

 

just swap to a b-motor, you have a better base to start off with, plus b-motors are a cheap nowadays and you can get your hands on one for a decent price. The swap itself is not hard at all, if you can wrench and read the helms manual, you can swap motors.

 

a built d-series is about the same as a stock b16 if you have about 1,200 you could get a full b swap and boost it and you should be set for a little while

 

it all depends on what you like and what ur budget is. if you just want a car that is fast but not crazy fast...stick with the d-series and boost it. if you want more...swap motors. just my thoughts...
