Been browsing these forums for about 4 years. I live in TN and my fiance and I are looking into building up a civic or hatch here soon for fun and I was wondering if I could get someone to answer me a question real quick. I searched and didn't find a very good answer.

What is the best d-series to build? I see FJD offers some awesome bottom end and top end pricing for kits to build the sohc motors. (I'm a k20 driver as of now.. got an 02 SI hatch supercharged... blah.. nothing special... just gets me to work and back lol) I only have basic experience with K series and older B series. I had an 89, and 90 SI prelude. Still love those cars lol.

Anyways.. yeah im a *** and no I didn't post **** yet, just hoping someone could answer my question about the best D to build. I hear of frankensteins and so forth, but is there a better D motor to build that I could just keep as a long block and not switch heads and so forth?

Thanks guys.

 

D16Z6 VTEC!!!!! IMO.

 

X2

 

a6 FTW

 

d15b2 dual point injection ftmfw.

 

dual point all the way i agree.

why not a mini me a6/z6 ?

 

I would say you havent learned a whole lot if you want to know what d is best. Its probably one of the most popular honda motors to boost and has been done about 897324578245 times.

everyone knows its the D13B1.

 

This all depends on your budget. If you want to spend a little and do the vitara build? or do you want to spend alot and do a all forged build?


I would do a d16a6 with a better cam and tt rods, and some vitaras and a big ------- snail!!! Lo buck build and some good power.


Here is a low buck build with some good numbers

But its not just a built motor that makes your car fast. You have got to be able to put the power down on the pavement. And that it the kind of thing that will nickle and dime you to death.

 

What's so good about the a6 and dpfi?

y8s are supposed to give good head but I'm sure the z6 does as well, without the timing annoyance

 

Y8's can have oiling issues at time. My no. 3 and 4 rod bearings told me that once.
