From what I hear and I'm sure you know they supposedly use a b16 diff.

 

Yup but could be internet chatter which is always iffy. I know Bisi uses them but what is done to them isnt going to be known thats for sure




75 buck transmission that can hold power to run 9's does sound nice though

 

more good info with some pics on that CG trans from the old sohc integra.

im kinda interested to see if anybody has cracked a sleeve in a d16 too. i melted a hole in a vitara and left a melted pit in the cylinder wall almost through the cast iron and i didn't crack a sleeve. this was with a block guard though, im sure it would have been a different story if i hadn't had a block guard.

 

thats some cool ------- carnage there. and I have a b18b block with a cracked sleeve in my garage its for sale

 

ehh, i melted a piston in my B18A too... i dont think its got the same stress on the sleeve as your standard detonation sleeve breaking...


ill tackle transmission issues when it comes time. i will most likely be using a EF chassis... gotta get back to my HMT roots

 

I personally have cracked ALL FOUR of my Wiseco pistons in my gt3076r mini me and my cylinder walls were not cracked, Honestly I could have run a hone through the block and probably used it again.

I did however do the Hotrex Devcon block guard. So that might have saved it?

 

You know what I think Jeff Frank broke a sleeve in his red crx with the original pinks sohc motor that had the wheeze head on it with boost

 

good to hear
but i guess vitaras melt first :P

 

i know he did... and honestly, it had HMT block posting (almost positive). not sure how much i trust that. it was in Blue Thunder... and pinks car never had a D-series lol


yeah ill bet those cast ******* break before a sleeve does lol...

 

Im all mixed up I just remember a pm that he cracked a sleeve on the mighty d. Freeway pull if my pot head memory is right
