Civic EG

hello people,

i just joined recently and i apologise if i sound noobish.

i have been searching and searching for information on the possible D series power plant that are avaliable for an EG.

Since i live in Australia... Even though there is lots of Vtec but only a hand full of ppl that are into D-series..

I often drool...with all your cars having good items and support... where as here there is nothing close to what you guys have...

i have read what Sire wrote on the D15b7 mini-me swap.. i thinking if i could find a top end of a y8. cause here they dont sell seperate..

My questions is pretty simple...N/A only not boosted

1. What d-series engine would i need to have in order for a 14.5 1/4 pass.
2. would it be worth it in money term?

I would like to see those B-series drivers in a state of disbelieve..

As much as i love B-series.. i would love to be different.

been the under dog is so much fun..

Currently i have a D15B7. with full X force exhaust. 17.0 sec 1/4mile

these are the cheapest price i have gotten..

P28 ECU $AUS280 (rip off)
D16y8 engine and wiring harness $AUS700 ( )
D15B half-cut $AUS1,500 (Tempting) OBD1
cams $AUS??? non existance

14.5 i realised is a lot for a D series. But in the end if you can beat them join them..
Even though i would like to see a few good D-series in Aus but i dont think is going to happen any sooner..

i do appreciate all the help...

It is very do-able!! You just need to pick and choose your parts wisely. A good cam with upgraded valvetrain, quality header, high compression pistons, and a good form of tuning would probably get you to your goal.

You could do a mini-me, but you can also buy an entire D16Z6, Z9 of Y8.
Quality material is the next step, and very pricy...

If you want to be different, swap to a K20A or something

i appreciate the advice.. but

i have no clue what you guys talking about quality..

if you could give me two examples of 2 different engine and i have to see if i could find those parts here...

no point me starting if i cant find the parts here..

like..

D16y8 top end
d15b7 bottom
p28ECu
throttle body??
cams??
anything else that could help

i really appreciate the input

d16y8 intake manifold...its supposedly the best flowing sohc stock intake...and by quality we mean buying good brands and not buying the cheap stuff

not sure if your car is manual or automatic transmission, but converting to manual will shave 1 sec off your 1/4 mi time. If you can get the short geared Si/Ex tranny then even better

Also, consider putting your car on a diet. Lighter wheels is a big help. Then remove the spare tire & jack. You can go further and pull the rear seat or gut the whole interior if you're crazy like me
I even removed all the sound deadening tar for an additional ~10 lbs.
For every 100 lbs you can remove, it will shave about .1 sec off your 1/4 mile time.
Best of all, removing weight is free

^^ yup remove weight!^^

I would check out this thread http://www.civic-eg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=979 by Stefan...

This would get you a long way too I think, especially if you also put on sticky tires and light wheels...

my choice would be get a z6 bottom block with a y8 head and a blox intake manifold, headers, cams, intake and a tune. ull probably be able to break 14's with that setup depending on driving skills
