    Re: D Series Swap...

    I'm not here to shit on you, but I'll put in what i know.

    D motors, for the amount of work involved to swap into our cars, just isn't worth it, unless you go for a crazy build.

    Now when people say "No replacement for displacement" (Not picking on you tomismo) I tend to react. Even our motors are putting out 60 HP per Liter. Compare that to a chevy big block, and we kick their asses.

    Now, on to fast D's vs. Fast B's. Yes, displacement is a disadvantage. But the D Motors have a FAR superior head configuration, as well as combustion chamber, and have just as much potential for power. See the Bisimoto 700HP D build. Yes, extreme for a daily driver, but a daily driver none-the-less.

    Not to take anything away from B/H/K/J/CDEFG motors, plenty of them making CRAZY power too. Also, tomismo is right in saying that not many people play with D motors like that. Its WAY easier to go with a "better" motor.

    now thats tru. Im sure there is some but far less ppl stupid anough to spend awfull load of money on SOCK 1.6l
    actually there are far more faster Ds then you would think... It cheaper in the long run to build a D if you have a civic for one... No need to buy expensive mounts, and building a 400hp turbo monster D is alot cheaper then building a 300hp B and buying mounts and shit...

    and why is ok for people with 2.0s to knock on a 1.6 , but when someone with a 5.0 knocks on a 2.0 you guys rage like theres no tomorrow ... seriously getting tired of reading this forum ...

    Re: D Series Swap...

    since the mounts are apparently made for the B and the A has no aftermarket just swap in a B and your be happier (btw you better be good at wiring or wanting to learn and i hope you have another car to drive while the accord is down)

    But a big block Chevy will still kick our asses. So who cares about Horsepower per Liter? I don't understand what relevance the HP/L has. I tend to agree with the "No replacement for displacement" saying, and have to back Tomismo's statement. Even look at the D-series, it needs all sorts of technology to give it as much power as the A-series (VTEC, 16 valves, etc).

    Re: D Series Swap...

    indeed 2ndGenGuy.. our engines have the biggest disadvantage in the head, the ports are just to small and valves cant give it enough air, the same goes for B20a, in edition it has 4 more valves but the ports are still to small. Valves capable of suporting 270Hp on those but only with head port ex&in sides.
    Being a SOCH D16 is for the first its a short stroke engine, it just never will torq as A20. With proper headwork on A20 and stronger valves and if you manage to find cam bearings that are stronger it will rew up to 8-9k with no problems, just give it enough air.

    My conclusion is that if you have 1k USD on B18, then 400USD on axles, 400$ on clutch converter etc etc. total 2-2500¤ to spend on a proper build, then you can just as likely spend that money on A20 and boost it, it will be cheaper and stronger engine overall.

    Its prttey fnuny how you can raed tihs eintre snetnece with all tehse ellters out of palce...

    plus there's some pride in these old iron block engines. and in owning an iron block Honda in general.

    see but the problem is, put 2500 into the a20 on all custom built parts, then one fails... have fun replacing it... i'm not arguing with your points but if bisimoto can build a 700hp d16 then you could really make an a20 go pretty fast... the whole point is for a casual tuner like myself, someone who's not always interested in going the fastest and being the most unique, the a20 lacks easy aftermarket like a b18, so in the end i'd rather build an LS motor and later on do an LS/VTEC built and possibly turbo it rather than going all out on an older engine and taking my chances braking a 1 off part... just my 2 cents.

    and the replacement for displacement is to add it with a HUGE turbo
