Rep Power: 228

Rep Power: 360

Rep Power: 228

Stick with the D man. More cams aren't like more cowbell.

 
Rep Power: 228

thats what i thought. thank youuu. and when i have a compression of 14:1 and get an all new skunk2 valve train with skunk2 cams and skunk2 intake manifold, along with a supercharger eventually im pretty sure i cna get 350 hp at least

cmon, its everything d-series, whats not to love, really tho, its an ok site, i spend more time here than anywhere, but it has a lot of good info about all things d-series, if i cant find it here, i can find it there

 
Rep Power: 228

well. max hp i could get outta a D series is .. 250? max hp outta a B,K,H is about 400

 
Rep Power: 0

Max HP out of a D is 250? Are you talking just N/A with a blower? 250 is easy with FI man, whether it's turbo or an SC.

 
Rep Power: 360

d16turbo.org/ or come not sure


anyways, i think a b16 is better, plenty of options, and a better motor to start with..and yes fooos, i think 2 cams is alot better then 1...howveer u wanna look at it..

No biggie Steve. I have no idea how to work with two cams, have only ever ****ed with SOHC Hondas, so I don't want to stray from my comfort zone.

 
Rep Power: 360

well for the amount of money hell end up spending on a d16, he can buy a b16 and play with it, and be alot more happier then a d16. more power, more fun.etc

 
Rep Power: 228

yeah i was also thinking b18c,h22a,k20a2 .. depends on how much money i want to save up. i'm best going with h22a or b16 i think

 
Rep Power: 360

well, i mean, dont leave out the GSR motor...b18

 
Rep Power: 228

Well, wheres a really cheap place i can find engines? the cheapest I've found is www.jdmcarboy.com -- theres b16a's with about 10k miles for 2500$.


Anything better?

Really? Your alternator blew a hole in your block? How does that happen?

 
Rep Power: 245

You need to do some more research.

14:1 + 6psi boost (from a S/C) = kablooie

Blowers like 10:1 C/Rs which might get you close to 200hp on a d-series.

To get 350 HP on a d-series you need to use a turbo and set your C/R somewhere about 8:1 if you want to run on pump gas.

More power = more fun? That's not true for everyone - maybe for you.

Some guys make their builds because they want to see what they can do with a certain motor. It may be SOHC, DOHC, or a damn lawn mower tractor.

There's nothing wrong with building up a D16 and trying to find what you can do to it within your budget.
