i have two buddys in va that have been boosted for years on ebay kits with stock internals. they used a hondata and chrome for tuning.

the d series are strong for sure.

im using acl bearings for my build.

ebay has a large amount of re-ring kits, gasket sets, and parts for super prices.

so far ive ordered. water pump and t belt kit, bearings, oil pump, full engine gasket set, ect and have spent 250 bux. parts came in and look very nice.

i was skeptical about the intake gasket since ive been a advocate of oem ones but..... its identical. and the whole gasket set cost just about what the oem one does.
