true....but who said you'd be in the 12s or 13s :fawk:



i keed

 

see u wouldnt be saying such rubbish if u still had ur civic...yet u drive a teggy now so ur spoiled...

O and go with a D series just cus the Z6 has alot of potential

 

:chuckles: i still got love for the civics, IMM civic :sad: when i had my civic i was going to get the LS engine anyway.

 

I plan to build my D, then supercharge it. Yeah yeah, I know turbo turbo turbo. I don't want a turbo, plus there is a company that sells and rebuilds S/C to handle 24 psi. And braggin rights BABY!!! But if you just want power, swap it.

 

Whooo... Need any help spending all of that money you are going to be forkin out to build that D to be able to handle 24 PSI? Is that even worth it? Whats this company? I want one..!

You first need a HP goal, so you are not just throwing money away on stupid junk that gets you no real results.

Here are some facts, I wont tell you what I would do, ill just give you some facts and let you decide.

More displacement = larger HP/TQ gains from modifications.

D 1.6 with 125hp, boost it, and get 200hp. = a 75 HP gain
B 1.8 with lets say 125hp, boost it, and will get better results because of the displacement. It will be around 230-260. thats over double the stock HP, not exactily acurate, and I cant remember the conversion chart off the top of my head, but you get the idea..

I know this for a fact because I have help'd build both a D16 and a B18 for boost, and watched both dyno with about the same setup.

D 1.6 is cheaper, and easy to find, you can pick one up online or localy for around $400.00. And put $1,000.00 into it and it will be a fun little motor. And if it blows up you always have the one that you previously had in the car, and since you swaped the buit D into your car it shouldnt be a problem puting the old D back in..

Or you can go online/ or to a yard, and find a B 1.8 for $1,000.00 - $1,800, it is going to cost more because you need the tranny, and all of the other parts you cant interchange from the motor you currently have. And then once you have all that, and spent about $1,200.00, you will want to prep that for boost, and end up spending about the same amount aprox. $1,000.00. I have seen builds total to 1800, and some to 3200, -that is without the turbo setup, just building it up for boost. But it depends on the relyability you want, and the HP goal.

 

if you plan on leaving the b18c mostly stock, I'd do turbo d16z6... I wouldn't bother building it though, they can make some seriously b18c-flogging numbers with stock internals, and if you blow it up, a new z6 is only $500 away.

 

B series swaps are too pricey for me. im putting a z6 in my EF and planning on doing a mild all motor build for a little extra zip. i wont be going FI till i have a beater or DD as a backup.

 

go with the b18c..more potential than the D.

I blew the motor in my 93 si. Im just saving up some cash now for a b18c.
I have no clue how to put a motor in/ out etc....but im willing to try it.

 

I did not say I was gonna run with 24psi, just stated it so no one could say that a SC only does 10 reliably. Plus if everyone had a B18 built the same, what fun would that be

 

Oh ok, I was gonna say... 24psi.... hmm... sounds explosive... lol, so tell me where you are geting this supercharger from? I am thinking of doing somthing like that, I just need to find a decent/cheap supercharger that I can work with.
