D series Power

It impressed me a bit.

And for the 'Lazy'
Power/Torque @ flywheel:
283 hp @ 7000 rpm
232 ft-lbs @ 6000 rpm

This is what you can expect from a maxed out Edelbrock kit and a slight build.
The new Greddy kit with the 19T supposedly "makes 300hp", but we all know they like to be on the conservative side...it'd probably make more power in the end.

Just sharing...thought it might rejuvinate some of you thinking that turbo d's are slow, no matter what.

[ebpda9]

turbos are not slow to begin with, unless you put it on a lawn mower engine ( that just gave me an idea ;) )

hey speaking of a d16y8 IM SELLING MY OLD ONE WITH 60000 MILES ON IT .... ONLY 500$ without clutch and wireing harness everything else is there

[ShagginJet]

Isn't there a D15 site where this guy rebuilt a D15 to make like 300+ HP??

is that shipped?

[Shaved &/or Laid]

if not he aint getting that for it. Sell it for like 50 dude.

[Fatal070]

right 50 bucks.... 60,000 miles on it.... right right no thats not shiped but if u really want it ill give it to u 300 u pay shiping

never doubted that a properly built D could make power. It just takes cubic dollars rather than cubic inches in this case. BTW the amount of money he spent on that engine and turbo setup, I can go faster for cheaper with my H22. going all motor.

your probably right, but a built D16 making nice numbers deserves much credit... since it is the underdog motor of honda and we've all seen fast ass H22s..

[4drmadness]

not bad #'s at all...I would love to see what it would do w/ P&P and the cam upgrade and all...

thanks for sharing...

even if you add in the price of getting the h22 in the first place?

a h22 in an accord, with basic mods will run low 14's with a good driver, plus a civic is about 600lbs shy of the heavy ass accord, so i think it will go like mid 13's. Now i'd like to see the run of the mill civic with a mild turbo kit run that.

H22 = 2300 + shipping
D16 turbo kit 2000+ shipping

I used mid prices, not the highest or the lowest.

[Honda_Tengoku]

absolutely. How fast do u think that 283 horsepower D series will run on slicks?? Remember it does make 232 foot pounds of torque, but @ 6,000 RPM!!!! I know a stock H22A1 (190 HP version) in a hatch back runs 13.4's bone stock on slicks. I/H/E, dyno tuned with VAFC it runs low to mid 12's. I dont think this little D will break 12's. I would think low 13's maybe 12's if he is lucky. I can do all this for about 5,000 dollars or less including the price of the engine. I think that turbo D with the build up, the turbo kit, and the exhaust and everything that it took is way over that. I know someone who had a 2000 Civic Si (B16), ported heads, Spearco intercooler, Greddy turbo kit set @ 7 pounds, Apexi exhaust, Apexi VAFC, test pipe, on slicks ran a best of 13.4's. He spent a ton of money on this car and it wasnt that fast. Atleast to me it wasnt.

Ohh yeah BTW H22 ECU's are prolly the most poorly tuned ECUs that honda has (atleast that I am aware of). A friend of mine (yes the same guy who had a turbo Lude, his name is Mark BTW) knew someone who had a 98 Prelude Type S. This guy had the normal I/H/E. He also had cam gears and an Apexi VAFC. Aparantly this guy had his Lude tuned on the Dyno. Between the cam gears and VAFC he gained 22 WHP!!!!! Pretty incredible if u ask me (just a little dyno info for all u dyno graph lovers).

[ebpda9]

yeah, i heard that running gsr ecu on h22s will yield a lot of power :yes:

alot of civics with just a turbo kit and proper tuning run in the 13's, and they still have a/c and power steering.

you dont think a 2400lb or so civic with almost 300flywheel hp can break into the 12's!?!?!!? that dyno i posted in the other thread had a d16 making about 235flyhp and he's run a 12.8 @ 3,000ft elevation, so bring that down to sea level and that'd be low 12's, in a hatchback.

alot of that stuff that was done to that engine wasnt even neccesary like the crower springs/retainers, ferrea valves, and resleeving and if your gonna resleeve an engine why keep the stock bore? it could have made additional power for free if they would have bored it out to 77-78mm.

also in a drag race i'd be more worried about making power in the upper rpms than down low where its not gonna get used anyway, i cant think of a time where i launched below 3500 where this engine is already making 150ftlbs of torque, which is right about the peak torque rating of a stock h22, and the amount isnt gonna increase to much on an engine with just i/h/e and tuning.

knowing someone who knows someone who dyno'd this isnt really a good argument.

12.8's huh? Well most tracks correct for altitude. I seriously doubt a turbo'd D can run low 12's with just what approximately 200 WHP? Unless they are cutting some serious 60 foots with a crazy suspension. U see your RPM issue u are talking u need to take into consideration the gearing differences. Lets just face it. The Z6 tranny is horribly geared. 110 MPH in third gear! I had a Z6 tranny on my car. I know how horribly geared they are. Please. As far as all the money he spent. Well woulda, coulda, not gone with some of the parts. But u know what he did. We are talking about what he did do. Not what he didnt do. I was just saying I can go faster with an all-motor H22 for cheaper. Yes u are right about the dyno issues, about not being a very good argument. Thats not the first time I have heard that either. Did u know if u use the GSR ECU a Prelude will actually run faster ET's? It will. It just has an issue with drivability cuz its got a low fuel curve tunning issue.
This is exactly the problem with Dynos. They arent a very good effective way to tell how fast the car is. BTW have u ever noticed that an All-motor car making the exact same amount of horsepower as a boosted engine, the all-motor car will always come out on top? Its strange, and it shouldnt really happen cuz the boosted car should kill it in the torque region. But it does. once again dynos really dont tell much when it comes to ET's.

if your z6 topped out at 110 in third then you dont have a z6 tranny or you have really big wheels, since a z6 tranny tops out at 90mph in 3rd. i dont know what tracks you've been to but the ones here in az dont correct for altitude, people always go up to phoenix which is about 1000ft lower just to get better times.

why do you keep saying a dyno isnt gonna tell you what the car is capagle of running? anybody with common sense knows that peak #'s dont tell crap, thats why they look at the whole chart.

have you seen a n/a b16 race a boosted 160hp d civic? the boosted d civic wins everytime.

so did these two cars make the same power? if so how do u know? How much boost? I think u are really guessing the power output here between your n/a B16, and your turbo D. I think that u are guessing the power output here, but u dont really know.
I initially had a JDM spec D15B8 tranny which topped out 130 MPH in third gear. The Z6 on my car topped at 110 MPH with 195/50/15's. So u tell me. As far as a your turbo D and all motor B16 well. The question is are they making the same HP? Ok let me simplify it. lets say u have two cars. A turbo B18C5 making 230 WHP. Versus an all motor B18C5 making exactly 230 WHP also. Like I said for some reason the all-motor car always wins (given that the other factors are constant, drivers, etc's, and things like that). I think its the smoother, power curve, or possibly the turbo car just makes too much torque to properly handle down the track. I cant really explain it but a all-motor car HP is just "stronger". For some strange reason.
Lets put it this way. I dont believe a 200 WHP turbo D with a stock suspension with slicks will run a low 12. I can see possibly a high 12 if hes lucky. No more.
The dyno doesnt tell how fast your car is. There are other factors involved here. Well lets look at a little factor here. The H22 sits very far forward in the Civic chassis. That makes it good for straigh line traction, but not so good for cornering. Basically it gives the H22 in a Civic a bit of advantage out of the hole than the D series Civic. Thats just one factor. Like I have said before, a dyno is good bragging rights, and a good way to tune your car, but it is not a good representation of how fast the car will be. Sure u can look at the graph, and the power curves, but u cant tell me that if two graphs are very similar and say on the graph the power curves cross each other at several periods and eventually end up at exactly the same WHP that one car will win over the other. Sure u can tell if one car makes a ton more power than say another engine. Bottom line is the ET's is what matters. U can come up with dyno graphs all day but it just doesnt mean much until u get it to the track.

H22A shipped 1800 dollars.
Turbo kit for 2000 dollars? What are u nuts. U have to put an intercooler on it too. When its all said and done your looking at 3,000 for the turbo kit. Lets not forget the machine work and the parts he put in. you are looking at atleast 1500 dollars for the machine work not to mention all the other parts. So what we are looking at 2,000 to 3,000 dollars for all the parts and machine work plus 3,000 for the turbo kit. Hmm 5,000 to 6,000 dollars, thats not including the exhaust, and clutch. Like I said. H22, is cheaper and it will get u there faster.


Ohh BTW I have heard 8-10 pounds of boost, drag radials/ or slicks, proper ECU tune can get u into high 13's in a hatch. Yes I am well aware of that. We are talking about 12's not 13's. I dont know whyu want to throw this in there. There is a HUGE difference trying to get a car into the 13's and getting one into the 12's. I have owned a 12 second car (FYI it was not a honda). It appears quite apparant to me u have never owned a 12 second car. Your statements implies that u have no real concept of what it takes, and how hard it is to get a car into the 12's.

[pdiggitydogg]

but who is really interested in ALL the work that goes into putting that h22 into a civic?
not everyone knows that its so involved....there is so much that needs to be done.

Plus, who says you have to buy a turbo kit? There are lots of ways to make custom kits that have good parts for less than $1.5k

I understand that u can make your own kit for about 1.5 K. I was using the normal price for people who arent apt at making their own. Basically your average joe. BTW i dont think the H22 is indepth as u think it is.

[Honda_Tengoku]

Ohh yea one more thing I forgot to mention. WTF are we arguing about a little D series that is making 283 HP when the guy spent like 6 thousand dollars building it. Personally its not the best bang for your buck. What he should have done was spend about 2K for the B18B engine and the B16 tranny and boost that. It can handle 300FHP just fine on stock internals, not to mention the B18B will blow that little D series away in a race. Just my two cents though.

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

so whats up now? are we gonna have a D vs H thread too?? or a H vs B? even better would be Toast vs Cereals :confused:

:dunce:

only if u want I guess. It doesnt really matter to me. Im not going to say the H is better than a B or a D. There are certain advantages in each and disadvantages. It just depends on what u are looking for to be honest. If u are looking for straight line, well the H's have definately more potential and mildly modifed will stomp any D series or B series with the same mods. Unfortunately the car wont handle quite as good as say a D series Civic, and the swap is a bit harder than the B series. Say if u want to get involved in SCCA autocross then definately a D series cant be beat on the course. The B series is an easy swap, generally yields more power than the D's, but dont handle quite as good as the D's either. So u decided what u want and your goals are.

[AzCivic]

well after all your writing you seemed to leave out a few details, like how much your h22 swap is really gonna cost, 1800 is not it BTW. I looked into it too, used to think the same as you until i realized that it'd cost about the same as doing a GSR swap but with more of a pain in the ass and either no a/c or power steering. i also like how you used the cheapest price possible for an h22(i've never seen 'em for 1800 shipped) yet go on with high ass prices for the turbo d series.

then you go on to argue about how were talking about 12's when i replied to SOMEONE ELSE about how its easy to get a turbo'd d civic into 13's.

and going by your #'s up there of how much it'll cost to turbo/rebuild a dseries engine, if it cost that much they better be making well over 300whp if not 400, just like the engine from the link could handle, only they're using a pretty small turbo.

[AzCivic]

once again your tranny IS NOT a z6. go take a friends EX out on the high way in 3rd and prove it to yourself.

[pdiggitydogg]

dude...I know sure as hell that the H is a hell of a lot of work
maybe you dont think it is, but compared to what needs to be done for a B to be put in, it is.

I never said it was easy. It is a bolt in with HASPORT mounts. Obviously there are mods to the wiring harness, and other things. Anyways...

JDM H22A, tranny, ECU, shifter cables, shifter assembly, resistor box ALL FOR 1900 DOLLARS!!!!!!!

Did I mention this is my install going into my car that is already paid for and sitting at my house?
So tell me again that u cant get and engine, and tranny for 1800 dollars shipped. Please. U dont know what u are talking about.

BTW have u caught on where I live or are u still clueless???

Ok well we are talking about what he did make not what he could. If he went with a larger turbo then u have more lag, and less drivability. So its really a toss up there.



U want me to spell it out for u????


ok.

-H22A engine, ECU, tranny, shifter cables, shifter assembly, resistor box... $1900
-HASPORT mount kit $650
-HASPORT modified rear tranny bracket $75
-Driveshaft shop hybrid stage one axles $400
-ECU OBD II to OBD I adapter (if needed) $220
-prelude throttle cable $20
-home modified Civic wiring harness
-home modified transmission tunnel
-home modified exhaust
-Ebay short ram $40
total = $3305
(Give your self about 200 dollars for the home moding parts)
ok so we are here at 3500 dollars and should run around 13.4's
on slicks.

[cashizslick]

Az civic seems to believe that all swaps cost 1million dollers.

Mine was expensive cause i had unforseen wiring probs and wanted a "clean" fix - not a hack job.

I noticed

[ebpda9]

not all swaps are expensive. the h22 can be had for under 2k complete. i was contemplating on putting that on my car and then turbo it. looking at jeremy's header and my exhaust manifold the turbo parts seem to fir perfectly on the h22 and f22.

[AzCivic]

ehh, swaps suck.

[silver]

i'm so tired of hearing about the if you did this and i heard this and stuff. use what you "know" not what you heard.

a turbo vs. na setup on the same motor with the same whp and all the same variables will not give you a turbo will always win or na will always win. the only way you could even begin to guess who would win without racing is to look at the dynos. looking at merely the peak hp and making sure that they are the same does not mean that you are comparing apples to apples. is the peak hp and tq made at the same rpm? what about fuel/air/spark, both setups will not have the same settings, not possible. claiming that anyone will beat the other one was a bad idea for an observation with just a little thought.

you cannot compare an h22 to a d motor and the gains that they would make on paper or on a dyno. too many other factors will play a part in such a race. weight and distribution, suspension setups, everything would play a role, not just the motor. turbo d series eg with a t28 ball bearing of an sr20det plus all the other necessary setup to complete it, putting down 262hp @12psi to the wheels, apexi n1 coilovers plus lots of other susupension goodies, with a/c and all the other nicities, runs a 13.1 e.t.(after 3 runs) how do i know this? i built the car, using the turbo from my s14, which dynoed mid 400's in hp earlier in the day, and had my ass handed to me while running a 13.6. he had a higher trap speed then me as well. price of the turbo setup? $3700. that includes an upgraded clutch also. and it ran on nitto 555's. i understand he has since run a 12.6 with slicks. (i ran the car also and put down a 13.8 on just one run) now would you like to know what that car did to the h22 powered ek hatch with i/h/e? h22 ran a 13.9...i was the driver. that was my best run, i couldn't get traction...and my daily driver is a spec-v, so it's not like i don't have the experience with tq heavy fwd cars.

the h22 is an ass kicker motor, but it takes just as much work as any other motor to make it fast, like every motor it has as many cons as pros. there are so many factors to building a car that these silly arguments will never solve until you actually go head to head with controlled variables.

feel free to ask me for more real world examples.

[AzCivic]

sounds good, from this day on i'm not gonna argue about this type of thing, it really is a waste of time.

really? So tell me. How fast does your D run? does it run a low 12 too??? Come on lets see some time slips.

[pdiggitydogg]

honestly, what difference does it mean how fast a car goes in a straight line? If cars were meant to do that, they wouldnt have steering wheels, now would they?
Sorry, I just think that kind of crap is dumb

you cannot compare an h22 to a d motor and the gains that they would make on paper or on a dyno. too many other factors will play a part in such a race. weight and distribution, suspension setups, everything would play a role, not just the motor. turbo d series eg with a t28 ball bearing of an sr20det plus all the other necessary setup to complete it, putting down 262hp @12psi to the wheels, apexi n1 coilovers plus lots of other susupension goodies, with a/c and all the other nicities, runs a 13.1 e.t.(after 3 runs) how do i know this? i built the car, using the turbo from my s14, which dynoed mid 400's in hp earlier in the day, and had my ass handed to me while running a 13.6. he had a higher trap speed then me as well. price of the turbo setup? $3700. that includes an upgraded clutch also. and it ran on nitto 555's. i understand he has since run a 12.6 with slicks. (i ran the car also and put down a 13.8 on just one run) now would you like to know what that car did to the h22 powered ek hatch with i/h/e? h22 ran a 13.9...i was the driver. that was my best run, i couldn't get traction...and my daily driver is a spec-v, so it's not like i don't have the experience with tq heavy fwd cars.

the h22 is an ass kicker motor, but it takes just as much work as any other motor to make it fast, like every motor it has as many cons as pros. there are so many factors to building a car that these silly arguments will never solve until you actually go head to head with controlled variables.

feel free to ask me for more real world examples.


too bad u didnt include the engine work in with the price of the turbo kit. We all know that the stock D wont even come close to handling 262 WHP. As far as your H series power Civic. Well obviously it was on street tires. Not on drag radials like your D. Your comparison is flawed. A little bit more fair comparison would be nice. I can make a B18B seem faster than the C5 if I wanted to. So please.

I like good handling cars as much as the next person. Unfortunately we are talking about ET's here. We just had a bit of a disagreement. I was curious how fast his D was since (its way better than engine swaps). I wanted to see if he could back up what he was saying thats all.

does it say i have anything like a turbo or nitrous in my sig, didnt think so.

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

my d is slow.....at a measly 16.7, nearly stock, one of the rim was not balanced right, 3 different sets of tires, and it was a first time at the tracks...so if i didn't have all those variables i prolly would have ran 16.5...still slow :paranoid: oh well, a nicely tuned turboD is on its way :cool:

ok...13.1 d series on streets
13.9 h series on streets
that was the comparison i stated...the d on slicks was 12.6
and the internals upgrade were minor, the only thing that was done that wasn't included in the 3700 was an upgraded ferrea valvetrain, cost 900.

so 4600, for a low 13 second car.

i think the comparison is very fair. turbo d vs. na H, same driver, almost the same cars with very similar suspensions, it's about as close as you can get

hello!!!!! the D series was on drag radials!! the H series was obviously on a normal street tire (not on drag radials). Still way off. A bone stock H22A1 (190 HP version) on slicks runs a 13.4. On drag radials they run prolly somewhere very close to that bone stock. U talk about variables, and differences, but u throw in variables to make the D series seem advantageous in this point. Atleast when I compared them I used similar instances, as well as thought about similar suspension and tire set ups. Not to mention I dont have an S14 I can borrow parts off of. Im sure not many other people do either.

[Honda_Tengoku]

ohh yeah one more thing. Initially in this post we started off with a 283 FHP D series. I said that it would break 12's if it were lucky and most likely low 13's. Well given that u have 14 percent drivetrain loss u are looking at 243 WHP. still 19 HP below your turbo D. Your turbo D's best was 13.1's. Granted its not on slicks but on a 13 second car its not a huge difference between slicks and drag radials. Obviously there are alot of other variables here, but comparing the two I see somewhere in the low 13's on 243 WHP to be a good educated guess, like I said previously.
The only thing I was saying that I can get an H22 faster for cheaper than the amount that the turbo D that started this post did. I still believe that. As u have proved though that u can go faster for cheaper than that guy did. Definately give u props on getting a D into the low 13's. No doubt. Now its in the 12's which is impressive (obviously more mods, or more boost was done, but still impressive).

my point exactly. When u do turbo your car, and find out how hard it is to get a car into the 12's just come back and talk to me. Then u will have atleast an understanding of what it takes.

[pdiggitydogg]

not everyone CARES to get a car in the 12's...

You know you would race your car if it had a GSR motor - you would piss on d's and love it.

[pdiggitydogg]

actually, i probably wouldnt

Well, dont knock it till you've tried it.

IMO, hondas are not performance cars. They are not supposed to be put through the twisties or dragraced - which is exactly why we make them do it . . .

[pdiggitydogg]

certain motors (ie the b18 and b16's) were designed to be that though - twisties i mean

none of them are straightline monsters...who would want them to be?

so Honda didn't design the B18C5 to be a track monster or the NSX or the S2000?:confused:

i stand corrected, i was assuming something else in my head when thinking about this. i think the H was running on some hankooks or kumhos.

of course not. I dont have all the answers. I only claim that I have some understanding of what it takes.

well obviously azcivic does. Or he wouldnt be arguing. This post is about making a D fast (obviously). The single most performance aspect that people look at is the quarter mile when it comes to making more power out of a car.
ok, well if not everone cares (sounds like including u), then I suggest u and anyone else who doesnt care not to click on your left mouse button to select this post. This is a free country and u can do what u want. OMG I dont select posts I am not interested in. Whats the problem?

exactly! Believe it or not Hondas are a poor mans car in Japan (excluding the NSX). They arent really liked too much by performance enthusiasts. Why would they when they have the Skylines, and Silvias, and other cars to play with. How do I know this u ask? I spent a bit of time in Japan.

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

yeah, we get the shitty version of the cars that they make overseas.... :no:

[turbowhat_n_dat]

America always tries to make something out of nothing, look at those building Geo Metros and Suzuki Swifts..........wtf.

D series power, I'm there, where do I sign???

197whp, 2 years, 12psi, ALL stock internals, got a lunch box full of B's.....................anyone want one..................
