I've been reading up the D-series..... I have come across and article stating that there is a D-series engine with a DOHC. i was wondering is there any way to put a DOHC D-series head on a SOHC block?????????????????????????????

 

thats the d16zc its stock twin cam but not all that good, your better oof with a z6, y8, d15b

 

I have a y8 already on my jdm d15b block with a jdm gear box..... Just was curious thought i would of got more power of the zc

 

I got a 4 door civic ex.... with a d15b jdm block and y8 VTECH head...short ram intake, 3 stage act street clutches, 10lb fidanza light weight flywheel dc 4-2-1 headers... 2.5 str8 pipe. Am currently looking for a lighter body, am going all-motor trying to get some power out of my SOHC any advice??????????

 

SOHC's are very limited all motor. You be lucky to push more than 190 n/a. Look into forced induction or a swap.

 

all the power is made in the head, do some head work, port polish, cam, oversize valves etc..

 

Wrong.
All the power is made down below. That is your weak point. Ive built turbo d blocks that made nice numbers with mild p&p work to the head, stock cam, valves, keepers, etc.

d-series.com

Research.

 

first ur talking about boosted motor he was asking about N/A
second you are wrong the head is the most important part of an engine when making power displacment rod/stroke ratio etc is important but the air/fuel needs to get to the block before it can be combusted. head work=power

 

N/A D-series = No power.
Ive had a high compression piston'd z6 with a cam and extensive p&p and it dyno'ed 133hp, lets not talk about the tq #'s.........Not worth it.

 

i understand this very well considering I drive a built turbo D, but the point is the op sayd his intentions are make N/A power so gave the suggestion

 

DOHC ZC head does not work with SOHC block.

 

heres my setup
block decked 20
block bored 020 over
head shaved .17
d16a6 pistons
proted head
zex compcams stage 2 (105300) or 95300
arp rodbolts
itb's
dynoed out at 156.1 w/o vtec and 142 tq

 

Cool....Whats the intake manifold called that u have?? it's sick!!!

 

I was thinking about a b16 swap well actually a b18c1 block with a b16 VTEC head....am not sure if its to much power for me seeing that am kinda new to this.....any suggestions about the swap???

 

first off its VTEC

second off D series all motor isnt all that hard. Swap in ZC pistons to up the compression to 12.x . Bisimoto makes amazing cam for SOHC that produces alot of power. Check out D series.org they have a bunch of 150+ hp SOHC which is decent power and quite fun to drive.

b16 swap cost AVERAGE 2500 bucks...and you WILL be disappointed in the end.

that intake is called Individual Throttle body.

you are better making your own turbo kit for around 600 bucks if you want some power.

 

My question is this---where do you live? i know here in VA there are a lot of people that try to rip you off with 250,000 mile VTEC heads for $400.00 and stupid crap like that, but the BEST thing i've seen here is a place called "Pick-n-pull", formerly "U-Wrench-it". It's a junkyard. Me and a friend went there and pulled a d16zc motor pre-tuned with everything but a turbo for $175.00, it was t-boned in the rear left side. Pulled that, pulled a little turbo off of an old supra, and made the whole turbo setup, with brackets and lines and piping. Turbo was $75.00, he bought a rebuild kit. He spent a total of about $400 for all, and we had it all together and running in about a week. I JUST got a 92 civic d15b7, and i'm going to do the exact same thing here in the next month or so.

 

Well am not a big fan off boost, i prefer all motor.... but i think boost motors are pretty cool...

 

Another question does one know how to make a vtec light?

 

Saw one in a clip that i watched on youtube...

 

talking about when the vtec comes in the light comes on?

 

yea.... how do i make a light for it?

 

let me see if I can find a write up on it for you..
