i take what you are saying in and i comprehend it all. but you must understand that the gains you will see to any NA mods to this car will be negligible. they are just not made for that kind of duty. the only way to drive any sort of performance out of a D is go FI.

in my mind you would be better off spending the 700 dollars on a one or two day driving course-- building an NA D is a lost cause, if you wanted to go NA b-series with a vtec head i'd be all for it.

to reitterate myself-- the d eries is a SOHC economy motor. the only want to squeeve power out of it is FI.
