cool, d series ftw

[aaronfelipe]

no vtak ftw

[crxsiguy]

no vtak ftw
D16Z6 = SOHC VTEC lol, but thanks guys, I'll post up some pics of the head build also ;)

[aaronfelipe]

lmao i thought i read d16a6= no vtec

[crxsiguy]

lmao i thought i read d16a6= no vtec
lol im not bold enough to try a non vtec SOHC build, eventhou single cam vtec doesnt really count lol

[crxsiguy]

No love for the D series...

[1SwollDude]

mikes really doin it...good luck with it yo

[EJ_Allmota]

Good luck homie.. Vitara's is where is @ for a SOHC.. Im thinkin about buildin a SOHC myself..

[green91]

I dont understand going through a build and still using cast pistons, but GL with the build! D-series def. have alot of potential. I enjoyed mine for a long time.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Halfwit best watch out, y0 !

[CHADbee]

halfwit is gonna get PWN3D!!!!!!!!!11111111

but thanks guys, hopefully it should be done by newyears or around that time, lol :goodjob:

[Halfwit]

uh oh look out halfwit

i aisnt worried


Halfwit best watch out, y0 !
i run the d-series game around here


halfwit is gonna get PWN3D!!!!!!!!!11111111
impossible

CRXSIGUY- U KNOW THIS MEANS WAR

on the side note, ive heard good things from vitaras, and that is a big turbo,but

we gone race!

i must have fastest d series. and i will.

LoL I'm down for a race, but its gonna have to be on the track :goodjob: but its always good to have a friendly rival! And i think im gonna have to have the Fastest single cam y0! i might just have to up my goals ;) 400WHP y0!! :screwy:

[OG-Skinny]

Mike, hate to bust your bubble, but Your Vitara Piston's won't hold 350+ for long.

Should of just went ahead and got aftermarket pistons. Good thing is that the D-series sleeves are strong.

I'd suggest a A6 bottom end and a Z6 head.

[crxsiguy]

well if it blows up, it wont cost but maybe a grand to make it better than it weas before so im not too worried about it, but i have seen alot of high HP Vitara builds that have been around for a while so we will see

[OG-Skinny]

p.s.. I know a few D-series tricks myself. I could make some power with a A6/Z6 combo.

[green91]

i call BS on skinny

[Halfwit]

track is fine. be ready top get pwnered

[SoLJames95]

Thats right me Half Wit know whats going down Try a D15 B7. Half Wit knows. I will build and will conquer. I got yo back D Series FTW.

[ranj]

so how long u thinking this will last.
just so you know this isn't a smartass question i'm serious i would like to know for my own personal reasons lol

D series are reliable when turboed ALL COMES DOWN TO TUNING.

hey that's a pretty cool setup u got there.
how long have u been running that engine?

[SoLJames95]

6 months, Im fixin to rebuid it. Everybody does the 1.6 Iwanna do a 1.5. It ran a 13.8 in the 1/4 mile at 107 mph. Its quick. There real reliable. You thinkin about doin one. im going for a 325whp.

[Vteckidd]

The pistons wont hold past 350whp from what i have seen, an from what we have learned on halfwits motor, you will not see much past 300whp without a ported cylinder head an oversized valves.

the D heads run out of steam at 300whp. I have seen guys making over 300whp on simple setups, but i dont believe it, the turbo D series world is weird.

guys with stock motors, or Vitara pistons an STOCK heads make 400whp, then the next guy with a fully built an sleeved motor, ported head, cam, only make 350whp.

but still, that kind of power is still fun cause they make so much torque.

400whp i think is seriously out of reach without a crazy head

run 25psi through anything an it will make good power, but it wont last long. i call bullshit on that too, thats prob that 4 door civic that was for sale. it must have been on a dynapack. So your telling me with a 2.25in exhuast, 2.5in test pipe, an a 7psi wg spring he did 400whp :screwy: it must have been 1 time an spiked like a motherfucker. i dont see how you get 25psi from a 7psi spring

i just dont see him making over 400whp with a STOCK head, im and cam. But hes got a BIG ASS TURBO, so im sure his powerband is a nice 500rpms.

peak numbers isnt everything. halfwits doesnt make as much power, but it hits full spool FAST an holds, making it a fun an fast car

[ranj]

Mr. KiDD, how much boost can a stock d15b7 take safely? i don't know if you work with these motors often.

[Vteckidd]

1psi less than when it blows up.

ie if it pops at 19psi, turn it back to 18psi :)

any d series STOCK motor, no more than 10psi

[ranj]

thnx, cause i have recently been thinking about turboing my civic, but i had wanted to do a minime with a y8 head just so i can test out my new port and polishing abilities, but i don't know yet, i'm leaning a lil more on the minime side.
but sorry if i'm gettin off topic.
G/L with build.

[SoLJames95]

D15B7... Just wait Mike were going to break records. D Series Fury. I will build that motor and we will rule. I will make a name for D series and I will make 400 whp.... No matter what Mike. Sleeved, Pistons, Rods, ZC tranny, T3, BLOCKGUARD, TDF Crazy Manifold. We will DOMINATE!!!! Mainstream will be known for D Series Power HAHAHAH!!!! I have to sell my hatch first. Damn It.

when you figure out how to run a CABLE tranny in a HYDRO car seeing as their are no conversion kits for it, let me know :taun:

There are hydro zc trannys, but Full-Race had to make custom axles from DSS to get it to work properly.

youll need the biggest ballin head to support 400+whp, and i would def do a 1.6L. displacement is king

[OG-Skinny]

Vitara pistons won't hold 350whp for long at all.. it's cast aluminum. Not forged.

Highest WHP out of any SOHC XXXX D-series was a guy from UTAH.. 611WHP, top mount, t4, 82mm D16Z6 with a 1.7L crank, and 34psi. Guy spend a SHIT-TON of money on it.

[Halfwit]

bump for d series, dont die out now

[crxsiguy]

Updated! I'm gonna go for it no matter what! My goal is somewhere around 350 i won't be upset if i only get 300 but i I wont be truly happy without 350 lol and as far as the head goes I got that covered ;)

[chris13]

thinkin bout buildin my d15b
G/L with the build

[miro_gt]

apparently, most of you guys don't know shit about D-series.

1. The Vitara piston is by far the strongest piston out there for those engines. And it IS an after market piston, made in Japan. Just for comparision, it's ringlands are with ~ 1mm bigger than those on a good Wiseco piston. Not to mension the cup on the piston that concentrates the explosion in the middle, and the coated top that comes standard .. Those pistons would hold up to 500 WHP on a D .. just give it 6 months to an year, and you'll see the era of the 500WHP Ds .. lol

2. ported head is nice thing to have, but the sock one will be fine for 350WHP, even with the stock intake manifold ... no matter of how hard it seems to believe .. That guy that you refer to, fast2cam, did his 405WHP on a stock head with the stock intake manifold. He sold his car like a month ago. FJK's car has 417WHP, but he uses Zex cam on his setup.

3. Anything over 350WHP can destroy the stock tranny .. most break on 4th gear pulls. Axels hold upon proper launching.

4. With the eagle rods, depending on which ARP bolts are used (5/16 vs. 3.8), the engine would be able to rev up to 8K, if not 8.5K. Higher than that is not recommended (eventhough it's being done)

5. Powerband in most cases with a 400WHP D is like 1 - 1.5K up top. That however doesn't mean that the car is slow at 5K for example, when it still builds boost.

5. It is not recommended any bigger exhaust housing than the .63 A/R, which by far works best.

6. D-series FTW :D

[EJ_Allmota]

:goodjob: ^^ You sir seem to have done your D-Series HomeWork.. good info man..

[Siverprobegt]

I had a friend with a build sohc and a jackson racing supercharger running 14psi,and no bottle....It ran 12.49 at the track ,all day long(1/4 mile),but the supercharger had alot of work done to it,alot!!!!(porting,etc) :D good luck

Thats some good shit man! +1 for ya

[miro_gt]

thank you


I'm having a turbo D as well ... but mine is not build, and it's not so powerful .. When I see some free time, I'll build it up as well. But paying out-of-state full time tuition kinda sucks ....

anyways, get that thing running and you'll spank some turbo Bs :D

[112480]

Um, Halfwit you have one more guy to worry/deal with here..........ME! Ask Mike at Mainstream my name is Gregg. I drive a 92 VX white hatch(2020lbs...right now, still have 50lbs to take off) with a D16Z6 and in just 12 short weeks I'm sure I should(should being the key word here) be making between 430-450whp on SOHC VTEC BUILD. I will be #1 for Single cam-T build here and I will meet you at the track or on the street or my personal favorite.......the highway.......Stay Tunned for my thread. Back to you Mike :D

^^^Damn this D-series thing is gettin serious.. I might have to get down with the D-Series build..

i got a d series engine wanna trade.


lol.

[boosted_nonv]

good shit niggas

[Lilolsteve]

I had a D16Z6 turbo in my old 93 coupe. Only had ARP headstuds, all other stuff was OEM. Ran 13.2@105 with a slipping oem clutch. GL with the build!

[112480]

^^^Damn this D-series thing is gettin serious.. I might have to get down with the D-Series build..
Yes yes join us. get rid of the B and go with the D!

[SoLJames95]

D15b7 with a baby turbo(t25) stock internals. 13.9@ 101mph.

[miro_gt]

when most guys realize how expensive it is when they break a B-series engine, most UPGRADE to a D-series ... :D . It is so cheap to build a fast D ...


here's some tips:

- use Z6 head on whatever D-block you find - easy to tune.
- use OEM headgasket, as well as ARP headstuds (mandatory)
- don't use block guard. If not, then pick the Golden Eagle one
- the Y8 tranny is said to be better than a Z6 one, but both are about same good
- look at least into ACT XTSS pressure plate , and 6-puk disk (with or without springs). Ds mostly make like 320WTQ, and that's like 420WHP
- run stock axles (cheap fuse before you break the tranny) - from NAPA, life warranty
- port out the holes on the rod bearings for more lubrication
- use Z6 oil pump (or an aftermarket one), with or without the mods to it, according to .theoldone.com
- new radiator is mandatory for GA
- NGK BKR7e-11 are good spark plugs, gap as follows: 0.035 for up to ~12psi, 0.03 for up to ~20psi, 0.028 to 0.025 for higher boost

Its always interesting to read these. Since I've never taken an engine apart and put it back together, I'm considering getting a cheap D series of some sort to play around with. I like 96-00 Civics, so I might be able to use it one day.
