what can i do to d16?

 

You want to be a little more specific? Such as what sort of money do you have to spend and what kind of power are you looking to make?

IMO, other than simply swapping to a B series motor, your best bet for real performance gains is with a Greddy turbo kit. It's the best engineering mild boost setup you'll find for that motor.

 

No, no, no. Everyone always immediately says to swap. Be different and build it. You can get decent power out of the D-series motors. How much are you working with and what kind of goals do you have...daily, race, both?

 

Once you start you wont stop. I agree with a motor swap. Being different is more special people. Different = Other people know what works and buy a few select parts that work great together. You can spend the same amount as a b-series swap on a d and barely be able to run a midly mod'd gsr. I know there are some that are good but they know what they're doing. A motor swap can be done with little down time. You'll have the same reliability as the first unmod'd engine but a way better engine to modify, which will offer more rewarding mods, or just leave it stock.

 

Agreed completely. Unless you go straight to a good turbo setup, money spent on the D is ultimately wasted in pursuit of speed. A properly tuned D series turbo setup is very effective, but an NA build is ridiculous when compared to the performance of a B series swap + bolt-ons (not to even mention the further headroom for power). But this all hinges on your wallet and performance goals, if you only have $1000 to spend you're never going to get much out of the D and there's no money for a proper swap, so really, why bother. Before this thread gets too long with possible setups, let's figure out exactly how much you are willing/able to spend over the next year or so and work from there.

Just my opinion, peace.
