Hey,
A friend of mine just got this old ford fiesta ghia, its a german made ford with a built motor and dual webber 40's. I'm in love with the induction noise of it all, and having to goose the gas to get it started.
No one likes the d series anymore, and it seems like everyone is in a rush to go vtec... or carbed...
But has anyone ever done this?
How would you make a vtec head work in such a setup?
I could only imagine the sound of a mildly cammed d15 hitting vtec and pulling to like 7 grand...
All the cheap hondas i'm looking at have d 15's, they are pretty good motors, right? Ive heard that even though they lack displacement they can spin pretty high without flying to pieces.
I'm looking to build a car for the nasa honda challenge. Put this 1.5 liter vtec motor in a 91 non si shell with a si transmission, and the weight break is around 1900 lbs.
I'm about to go take advantage of the search feature, but in the mean time you should post some d15 builds and timeslips, as Ive never heard anything about built d15's in detail... and what do you guys think about the dual carb idea? We don't have to pop the hood for emissions, and i have a lc1 wideband... so with a cat and a good tune i could pass emissions....right?
