WOW! That is all I can say about that! Very nice!
Boo to the future D16 swap though. You know that with 90whp that tiny-ass car is already gonna fly.

Neat!
2004-2011?
why boo to the d16 swap? can you imagine this car with a z6 or y8 putting down 120whp with vtec... disgusting in my opinion. oh and still light weight unlike the b which would make this thing oversteer like a mother fucker.Originally Posted by 2ndGenGuy

That's one sweeeeeet Civic! If only my Prelude looked half as good!....
D eninges suck thats why
yes they aftermarket but there engine is shit
1988 Honda Accord LX-i Coupe 123k miles.
i would think for 1 D engines are well crap, but i think the main reason is its a OLD civic, therefor its swap is a OLD engine, throw a D in and its just well not really a classical build, and plus if your gona swap a newer engine why a crappy d there H's to be had, and we all know with work they fit
Nah I just say boo on the D-series because this car is whoop ass with it's original-era engine. Not that the D-series swap would be bad, just I think that the car is super-cool the way it is. People open the hood and go WTF is that engine?
i really like that interior!
wouldn't it understeer...?
or do you mean torque steer
explanation as to why the d series motor is bad...? if either of you can tell me why or make a valid point i would love to hear it.
oh and an h in that would be annoying at best. so i'll be waiting to hear back from the both of you.

i did mean understeer sorry. just saw your reply.

a 1.6 engine makeing what 120 whp if lucky? for as new as it is it wasnt built to be a power makeing engine, it was a cheep engine that got the job done for hondas cheep comuter cars the civic. of other engines of its time theres alot more powerfull options. i think its hardly worth converting that car over to fuel injection and all that wireing for a engine that has 20 more horses... if he was to make all that wireing and mounts then i would think go H theres a few videos on youtube of H swaped civics of that gen. really D engines arnt that great, only reason people tune them is becuse there cheep to get... and 70% of hondas are tuned becuse they can be done on a budget,
now lets not continue this in this thread, this thread is about a well build classic engine, if you want D engine praise go to h-t
ha how much hp does your accord have? and 20hp gain is a lot especially since you can get d motors for next to nothing.. and again h = heavy and huge. that wasn't really an argument against d motors since your accord was made to be a commuter car as well and so was the old motor that is in this car. and the mounts could be way easier to make for a d since it's smaller and the wiring is the easy part as most of it can be done out of the car. that's probably why he's deciding to do a d swap not an h... and telling me why there bad doesn't mean you say "they weren't made for power" or "there crap" ... so yeah good argument.
for future reference; get your d-series hating comments straight... if i want praise for a d i won't go anywhere near h-t since they hate them more than you guys... i'll go to d-series.org where i'm already a member.
oh and with the purchase of just a cam and gear from akmee the y8 as been shown to make 130whp after tuning with only i/h/e.

D engine is bad as in
they burn oil like crazy and thow rods all the time and many other reasions im not going to sit here and list them all can we get back on topic?

good sir, i do not own a accord right now, i have a 3100 V6 cutlass, so please do not compair me, im sorry we dont agree its my opinion though, i like the A engine yes, but the 3gee does not have as easy as a swap as any D engined car. this is an opinion and this argument is going to go noware
How about a dual carb D-series? That would be pretty badass. Can you trigger the VTEC solenoid with an RPM activated switch, instead of an ECU?
yes you can... and sohcinwa a member on d-series.org has dual weber 45's on his d15 in a sedan and puts down some pretty respectable track times...
this is his sig on d-series...

and to respond to cah my d doesn't burn any oil and doesn't throw rods... that's retarded people redlining their car everywhere they go which will cause that to happen to any motor.
and labeld this argument is going to go "noware" because you don't have anything to argue with. all i'm saying is that d-series motors are not as bad as you guys make them out to be and would be pretty mean (especially with dual carbs) in that car.

well most burn oil since most ricers own them and they dont hold the miles like other honda motors do
not all are bad but alot are

LOL so much D series hate in here..
I myself is planning to go with D (dunno what yet) when my engine blows up. I can get the engine for next to nothing. Sure the work needed is a lot, but still a lot cheaper and better (power and fuel economy) than to rebuilt my stock EL engine (68hp vs 100+ and still the D gets better mileage!)
As for that civic, its HOT! I love the mean wide fender flares.
hahahaahahahahaha
let's be serious now.
that's what i say. but it's a HONDA
yeah i love the 2nd gen civics!!
Wonder how that side mirrors would look like on my car.. I kinda like it lol
thats a badass little civic.....
My car sees 7200rpms on a daily basis...the motor has almost 170k on it, and i dont seem to burn a drop of oil or have any odd engine noises....
I think a D-swap with dual carbs into that car would be cool shit
My sentiments exactly...
very nice car and neatly done, I wouldn't swap it,
