I have an LS swap and have been thinking on swapping in a d16y8. For some reason I have this urge to build an all motor D. What do you guys think? Whats the most HP I could get from an all motor D. Thanks

Why is it stupid?? Your just triyng something different nothing worng with that. There is all sorts of power in a D-series you just have to have the money to unleash it.

 

hell yeah. There are quite a few people that have built some bad-*** D's. I think the fastest D ran a high 10 in the 1/4 but I'm not sure. Hot Rod Honda had a crx with a low 11 second D in it about 4 years ago

 

I just pulled my B16 and replaced it with a d16a6.....of course I am doing "something" to the B....I am happy with the D until the B is done....

 

i'm thinking of doing sortof the same thing i hate my b18a1 except i want to do d16a6 block,89 teg pistons/rods,92 ex head gasket,cbr individual throttle bodys

 

Just remember it's fun beating the "mighty B" with a D

So you've tapped the secrets of the ITB swap? Let me know how you rigged your set up so I can campare it to others.

 

xsellxoutx-If you don't mind me asking why do you hate your B18A?

 

i didnt notice a differance between the b18a1 & the d16a6 in my 88 crx hf

 

How can you not "notice a difference?" There must be something wrong with your engine.

Yeah..there should be a butt load more tq in the b. Wonder whats wrong.....

 

I'm beginning to be happy about my choice of sticking with the D-series vs going B18B... My motor is extremely light, yet it puts out quite a bit of torque and high-end horsepower. However, I had to invest TONS of time, money, frusteration and research into my swap to get it to run the way it is running now. There is a LOT of fine-tuning problems that you have to deal with to get SOHC VTEC motors working properly on OBD-0 vehicles.

Even now it still has more potential, I'm thinking A6 pistons to bump up the CR to 11:1 - heh, it's already a stout motor, and with the higher compression it will be a complete beast.

 

My b18a made a huge difference over the D, but it was a d15 and not a d16. You can tell by quarter mile times if it helped, and I dont think a D16 with I/H/E would run a 14.7. Something has to wrong with your engine. Anyway back to the D power, if I did higher comp pistons, a cam, port and polish, header, intake, and exhaust about how much hp would I be around. Also what pistons can I use for higher compression? Someone said that making a fast D is expensive, is this true? One of the reasons I have thought about doing this is because I thought it would be cheaper thank a B. I am looking for 13 second timeslips, what would I need to have done to do this? When fully built for an all motor application will a d16y8 make much more power than a fully built d16y6? Thanks

 

we need this stuff to be a sticky or something, I seem to post it at least 3-4 times amonth if not more; anyhow........

well the d16a6 had some parts on it and the b18a1 is basically stock plus the ls tranny is ghey compared to the si i previously had

 

Personally, I think goin with a d series is awesome... I have a d16A6 and for the money it and a turbo is your best bet...

 

i've always been in love with the D's seems like this season the fad is D series how JDM was the last one

 

I love my stock dx motor in my '90 DX it is a beast. I beast my coworker's 02 EX with it. HAHAHA. It is a really big turd but it keeps me out of trouble. I might be putting a D16A6 back in my CRX for awhile till I get the new motor done.

 

well i'm gonna have a ZC in this week instead of the b18a that i'm going to turbo till i finish building the a6/y8

 

areu looking to sell the b?

 

All i can say is go check out http://www.zex.com
