whad up HT

so recently i aquired an eg and this time its a sohc (d15b7 non vtec), ive had a few hatches and a del sol but theyve all been dohc's.

i thought it would be interesting to build a sohc, (read super streets 700whp sohc ef wagon build) but i dont really know much about them or how to approach a build setup

with the sale i also got a d16 vtec head, with a p2p ecu and obd conversion harness

so i guess here are my few questions

1.
do any b series parts fit d series motors? and would what would be a good trans? its a 5 speed now, but is it possible to put a bseires tranny in? or would i have to go si for different gearing?

2.
i know b series have an intake and exhaust cam and gear, and different valves, when it comes to d series parts are they made different, spec wise im assuming, and just in general?

3.
if the different series dont comply would i be able to bore and mill everything out to make them fit?

4.
ive been having a little trouble finding legitamate sites that have d series parts... would i be better off doing a b series swap?

 

d-series.org and turbod16.com are solely dedicated to the sohc motor, they provide more information for what your looking for

 

Bisimoto Engineering carries alot of D Series stuff, and if theres stuff you they don't have Im sure they can source it for you!

 

you want to build a z6 or a6 block. the new cranks from a y8 and y7 only have one oilling hole for the rods as the older blocks had 2. maybe why the newer motors tend to spin rod bearings. depending if ur in a budget or not you can do an eagle vitara build or go with a better build with arias and scat rods. bisimoto has been to make the best boost cam for the sohc. if your looking for over 300hp i recomend a nice garret gt30r. tune on a hondata s300 or get a chipped ecu and run chrome pro

 

nice, thanks for the replies, ill start doin some homework, ill keep up with the update if i decide to start the build
