link doesn't work check it
Then if he dynoed at 500hp, he would be lucky to go down mainstreet without killing someone. You said you want 11's and daily driver out of d16z6. It is never going to happen. A b18b can be "kinda" (brian is doing it and zueke is trying to start) steetable because to get 11's out of it, your not pushing everything to the max, with a d16z6, your going to be braking shit like crazy, tuned or not because the engine is not designed to be a performance engine. Dseries engines are econimicly freindly engines and the d16z6 just has VTEC for that extra little punch. To get 11's out of a d16z6, you pushing that thing to its breaking point and will not go any further.
yes they have the same displacements but look at what they came in, the d's, low level civics and the b's, the higher up integras and other performance honda's (99-00 si's, type R's siR's, GSR's ect.) The reason why i said displacement is because the best engine that is more than a trailorqueen for a civic is the b18b, no VTEC, (click on the link in Pissedoffsol's sig for one of the best thread about vtec vs nonvtec for boost, and they are taking about a 11's daily driver LSturbo)
Yeah the LS is a nice motor. I see them in junk yards all the time. only Auto trannys though.yeah Vtec was made to replace a turbo. That was its original purpose. i dont have the money to convert my hole car to b series. i know some say its cheaper but i will hopfully beable to take my time on this. Bragging righes are great on SOHC 
well thx guys
well thx guysyell the ls came in a stick, it is just a matter of how hard you search junkyards. True with enough money, anthing is possible but keep in mind you just said you dont have the money to put a b series in your car right now, to get 11's out of a dseris, expect to pay 10-20k easily. A b18b can be found for less than 1500 if you look and then when you do that, you will have more trq than the d16z6 with alot of mods. I am not saying not to do this but you just cant have streetable and 11's out of a dseries. It sounds to me like you need to do a little more reaseach before you counqure something this big.

That car did not dyno at 500hp. His site says, and I quote:
He claims he has dyno sheets for 300 hp but he doesn't have them posted. He claims that he is running this power through a stock tranny. No way. I wonder what the price tag on that car was because I can garauntee that it would have cost him less to get those same power numbers from an LS engine. On top of that those street numbers are not that impressive. The guy that built Calesta's engine is running that much power from an NA B20VTEC in a street car.

well an exausht is really restricting to a turbo. oh yeah and want to know a secret? When i said i got a good deal on the D16Z6 i wasnt kidding. dont say anything I got the engine and tranny and everything already in a 88 CRX HF. just not wired right. I payed $150 for it all. what do you guys think?
that guy does have a pretty sick setup on a SOHC engine he probly has at least $20,000 in that setup...
but he has no dyno plots posted he has no 1/4 mile stats posted (other than a 14.5 and a 13.5)...
the HP numbers he is giving he is compleatly pulling out of his ass...
if you want to spend $20,000 on a D series engine feel free i (and im sure everyone else) am done trying to convince you its a waste.... so go blow 20k out your ass and dont bother crying to us when a B/H series with 1/2 as much money invested makes you look like a GEO
