if hes going to put down 5 grand, i say get a 1.8 dohc. ne of them would be good, more displacement, and it has 2 cams.

 

Trade one cam for two. :naughty:

Nice to see a surge of sedan's around here

 

Okay, I don't think he wants to do a swap because his motor is about to blow up. For $5k, I can completely build a D16 block with a custom turbo kit AND engine management then run 11's on the track with over 300hp. Can a stock B-series do that? No, but if you stick ANOTHER $5k into it, you can!

Let's think about those two choices for a second.... :thinking:

Built D-series with stock CR that runs 11's....OR....B-series swap that runs 15's (maybe high 14's).....

Seems like a no-brainer to me. :cheers:

 

cliffs on what sleeper said: Suck it b's, d's own you

 

its an auto d16.. id rather go the economical route, rather than messing with timings, bohring the engine, buying a new cam, changing the engines displacement, and getting sh*t miles per gallon, and having a car on ur hands, that ull never be able to sell.

 

Engine Management

Bore the sleeves so it can handle over 30psi of boost

Not expensive

What do you think you're doing with a swap? Also, sleeving the block doesn't change the displacement unless you want to. Also, the stock D-series sleeves are much stronger than that of a B-series, so if he wanted to just stick $800.00 into some rods and pistons he'd still walk all over a B-series and many other cars.

You have NO idea what your talking about here.

Who says? You? Who wants to buy a car with a larger motor in it? Someone doesn't swap in a motor to go slower. If it's got a swap, the motor has been abused. I'd rather have a freshly built motor.

 

i say congrats, if u can get 30psi.. uve made the highest compression d16 engine ive ever heard of. you would have to invest a lot of time and pocess a lot of knowlege. seems like that would cost more than it would for a 3.5 grand engine swap to me.

and with a swap, ur not changing the engine displacement, ur just buying a bigger engine

after all that internal work, and 30psi ur telling me that ur not going to want more fuel in the mixture.? more fuel worst gas milage

 

Build the D and boost. Or get a bottle. then you can have the power when you need it and still have stock mileage/gal

 

I have nothing to say in this thread other than this......
b16a= teh suck
any d-series= teh suck

That is all h:
