Well, we toyed w/the idea of going sleeved/forged this year, but decided to do another Vitara build instead and just step things up a bit from the old setup. We'll see how she holds up!
We are hoping for low 10's-high 9's at 142+mph this year. 500+whp.

This car is the ultimate budget build. We believe that it is not possible to build a consistent mid 10 second honda for less money than was put into this car. D series is all about budget performance, and we believe that this car is the perfect example of what can be accomplished with a budget build done right. It has been 100% reliable for ~2 years now. It has seen over 90 track passes, ~40 dyno pulls, and 1000's of miles on the street in that time. It has been a source of hope, motivation, and encouragement to hundreds of D16 fans across the internet. Any D16 with this level of performance is amazing, but this car is unique in that it uses stock sleeves, stock port head, and cast pistons from a Suzuki Vitara, which are extremely cheap in keeping with the D16 budget theme, and holds all the world records for power/speed/etc with these pistons. These pistons are now being used worldwide by Turbo D16 enthusiasts seeking maximum bang for the buck.
