it sure helps

 

This thread made me rethink about building a d-series( even thought i got rods, pistons, bearings), now i feel like doing a b-series swap for the long run.
I think more power owns me

 

true dat. Pat is proof of 12 sec. 1/4 mi. with a stock d. What are your goals? A B-series will make make more power, but for now I'm happy with a d. I don't need a dyno queen. I just want 12's on slicks. A stock d will get you there. A built d will ad reliability and the optiion to run higher boost and of course your tune is important. I'd rather spank a B with my D. :P

 

you wont spanka boosted b with a boosted d.. bottom line.

 

Correct there BBKA, youhave to plant the power to the ground.

NA D15 running 10's, NA F22 running 9's, need I say more!

Besides a BUILT D series will take 30+ psi and make 400+ whp.

 

I have smoked a few boosted b-series cars.

 

I went 12's on a stock B series on shitty *** street tires. B series in the end is cheaper and easier to go faster.

 

what makes the b series better? more displacement? better heads?

the magical one cam for intake and one cam for exhaust isnt what does it.

i think the b series vtec heads and cams just flow well and make good power?

 

If you buy a 92-95 si hatch you will already have a d16z6, then all you have to do is buy rods/pistons and you should be able to get 300whp without too many problems. A stock b-series will handle that much power, but your going to spend at least $2,000 (probably more) just to do the swap, so going with a built d will be cheaper than a stock b. I woudl rather have forged rods/pistons anyways. So I guess it all depends on how much you want to spend. You coudl just piece together a LS/Vtec and get a cheap hatch as well, but those little parts will probably start to add up.

If I sold my car and started all over I would probably get a 92-95 vx/cx hatch and swap a GSR in it, then eventually build the ---- out of the motor and buy a big fatty turbo.

 

i mean a descently set up one pat, not some nog runnin 3 psi with a greddy kit.

i mean ----, what would u rather have m\r sohc......
