anyone no if a 1.6 performance parts will fit a 1.4 and would adding them damage my engine in any way?
like adding a turbo kit, intercooler, fuel rail, injectors, exhaust, fuel pressure regulator and intake manafold.
cheers james.

 

I wouldnt botherdude to be honest. I have a D14 in my civic and I've looked into doing it many times before. Firstly, the D14 conrods are thinner than D16's so are therefore weaker. They say 7PSI wont be too hard on them, but its not likely to last very long unless you do some internal work. You are better off to just run the D14 into the ground, and build up a D16 block in the meantime. Then when the D14 dies, just swap the blocks over with a new wiring loom and ECU.Depending on the D14 you have in your car, it may only have Dual point fuel injection, unlike the D16's Multi point. Basically even tho your car has 4 injectors, number 1 and 3 are linked, and no. 2 & 4 are linked. In orderto get each injector to work independantly you need to split the signals to the ECU and do quite a bit of wiring modification. Not really worth the hassleIMO.

Alternatively, run thecar for as long as you can stand until you get bored of it. Then sell it and buy a VTI/Si model and start from there...thats my plan anyway...

hi guys im prob in the same position as you guys were as ive seen what you have been saying. i have the d14 (2000) like you guys said it would be alot of strain on the engine but could you advise a setup that could last?

 

dont thread jack and a good setup for you is none. Dont come in here and ask what setup you should run. Its like askin "certain people" what t shirt is best to wear that day. Go research before you blow something up

 

Thanks for the advise suppose thats a bit weird askin that, im trying my best to research about it and im not rushing it as im thinkin of doing it end of summer roughly but thats if its going to work out!,

cheers, kris
