Anybody knows whats the fastest D series engine, a street set up and a all out drag racing set up.. and what type off set up are they using, for example: turbo size, injector, what modification to the head and the block. I'm planning on building my D series do I have to re sleeve the engine or NOT. and finally what is the best place to do a good cylinder head and to do the block.
Fastest D series Engine.

zc?
ive seen one on honda-tech that ran 12s. guy had a z6 with stage 2 cam and valvetrain. stock block. itbs he made header and exhaust. it was in a crx. theres a 400whp coupe on streetfire. its boosted. i think it runs 12s as well. seening these too cars gave me inspirtation to build my car d series. i got a fully built block with a compression out ro 12.5:1 and a z6 head with a stage 1 comp cam and valvetrain all waiting to go in the car. next would itbs and a 50 shot and hope and pray i break into the 12s. the motor should get me into the 14s.
what kind of question is this? you can make any d series faster than it is stock but you gotta remember, just because you can pull a decent amount of power out of a d doesnt mean one is faster than the other. You have to take into consideration the driver too. I mean my y8 has more horse power than my buddy's z6 but his will beat mine all day long b/c he drives a little better than i do.
d16z6 is the best out of all the d series engines.my friends had zc,d16y8,d16z6, and the z6 was the fastet in is 93 si.
lets also remember, you dont make an engine faster. you make an engine more powerful. how much faster you go with that depends on many factors : and weight and driver being two of many.SleepingSol said:

If it's being built completely and boosted, it doesn't really matter because you're probably going to be using a conglomeration of different D-parts and aftermarket ones
Y8 block
Z6 head
A6 pistons
etc...

I just saw a guy this past weekend at Englishtown raceway park with a 91 SI running in the 12's the engine had a black cover SOHC with VTEC on top, it looks to me like a J engine.typeRrice14 said:
Same goes for me, Plus it sounds impresive when you are able to beat cars running bigger engines, Damm I can wait to be some Mustangs guys, Anyway You going nitrous I'm going Turbo I just want to do the engine right. I know that I want a good cilynder head. I know JG engine Dynamics have done good, but what else is out there, what other companies you guys recommend. with the most affordable prices, and excellent service and fast turn around. I was planning on having my block sleeve, I met this guy at the Philadelphia SEMA Show, from the Darton company that was giving me info. but if I can get away with doing the sleeve thing I rather used that money on the cylinder head.typeRrice14 said:
You right about that , I was just asking if there is a D engine better than others. I was told that the y8 cilynder head out of a 96-2000 EX has better air flow than the Z6. A lot of times I don't know if you guys realized this but sometimes the diffrence might be in the Comp. ratio, camshaft spec or cilynder flow desing. for example, im gonna used the B series as an example From factory the same B engine might have 9.5 to 1 while the type R, or SI-R, engine might be 10 or 10.5 to 1 and with a better camshaft, this same B engine(block and head) engine can have 5, 10 or 15 more HP than the "regular B engine".SleepingSol said:

The most powerful stock SOHC D is probably the D15B J-spec. Just look through the engine chart under the technical selection at the top of the page.
worst platform for any real power..hundredwatt said:
costs you $$$ for custom rods (no one waists time with d15 rods)
Well, I'm waisting time on a d15b. Also a d series is far better than a gsr b18 for boost because of the much lower compression ratio. The lower the compression, the more psi you can boost the engine. I'll be running low 9's in an eigth when I get my clutch in and that's non turboed. I get mad at the drag strip when I see cars with a lot "better" engines can't run good times. I saw a guy with a type r b16 that was running high 10's in the eighth. what is the deal with that? Am I the only import driver there that can drive? I waxed a turboed civic with a gsr b18 for about to the 60ft marker. And my clutch is almost dead. My clutch slips going up slight inclines. This dude was running 6 ps on the gsr b18 and only got low 9's and high eights.
Haha, please.hundredwatt said:
Gsr > d15b is every way you can possible think of except price. It has higher compression, but it can take more boost because of stronger block, d15 rods are like toothpicks. Plus 6 psi on a gsr will give you twice the power gains as 6 psi on a d15.
I'm glad that you beat some cars that are faster than you, it gives credit to your driving, but those cars are faster than you. The reason you beat those cars in the 1/8th is because they have too much power for their tires and they spin most of the way...race them in the full 1/4 and see what happens.
did you forget the d15b? It actually would be the best of all of them. Has the best head flow of all the dseriese motors and a larger cam too. From the specs ive seen it's cam is close to the zex street cam in performance.potatobiker8 said:
