Re:Getting power from a d series

a b18b. I dont know much about that motor. HOw much PUNCH are we looking at and how much does it cost. I dont think any swap is going to be in budget. Thank you for your help though.

Re:Getting power from a d series

were talkin like 140hp and 118 ftlbs of torque or so for like 2000 bucks...yuk, id get the spray for 500

Re:Getting power from a d series

yeah, that's bit much. I dont understand alot of the swap guys. b16, b16, b16....3g's later.... a $700 HMT dx beats you. No offence to b16 guys, I jsut dont have that kinda money

the b has more potential, thats why (plus they arent 3k)

Re:Getting power from a d series

im gonna do a b18c1 swap for around 3k, that includes performance clutch, flywheel, mounts, linkage, and everything to swap my turbo kit over to it.

I dont think any dx will beat a b18c1 at 12psi from a t3/t04e in a crx.

you just cant get that kind of power from a dseries unless its fully built and sleeved or at least pinned.

Re:Getting power from a d series

just look around and u MIGHT found the right person to get u pass smog.

or the N/A way...i would..
get a d16y8 head, mill it.port it..
go to www.crower.com, grab some valve springs and stage 3 race cam. with I/H/E..(NO ZEX :P)
oh well the out come is that u are not passing smog still..
yea, i tried.

Re:Getting power from a d series

Build the top end and rev to 9k, it wont be too too fast, but hey, you'll be revving to 9k.

Re:Getting power from a d series

Get the damn turbo kit, and only smog your car in Compton. You will always be able to pay someone to smog your car. Don't let the socialists run your life. Turbo, Turbo, turbo!

I have a cheasy intake and exhaust which are cool I guess, but what else can I do? Is a mini me swap worth it, or any tuning or timing tricks, bigger injectors? ANy of that stuff get decent results. I have 106, I would like at least 130's if possible or better. Just to be able to hang with the mini vans if nothing else.

here's my suggestion, take it however you want.
of course start out with the standard i/h/e (which you have), then turn the fuel pressure up a bit to compensate for the greater airflow (i use the b&m commandflo), next a clutch/flywheel (i use a lightweight flywheel, but some people don't like them in traffic. so that's your choice), then if that's still not enuf, swap to a lower geared tranny. i'm not sure if the 96 dx and ex trannys are the same, but if not, see about locating an ex. shorter gears will definitely give you an advantage on quick minivan races.

i know this is all basic stuff, but's that's why it's the basic stuff. that's where you start, then if that isn't enough you have to look at other options.

btw-my d16a6 w/ i/h/e, cf clutch, UR flywheel, crane ign, Quaife, B&M, stock internals, 17" wheels, WW body kit, and full interior is good for 10.0 1/8 mile times. with the 60 shot, 9.4-9.5.

hope this helps.
