i am new to honda tech and i know quite a bit about hondas but dont have one yet my parents bought me my first car and its a saturn... wo hoo.. i am looking into buying my first honda here pretty soon i have considered alot of options but one i am looking at is turbo d15b i want to buy a shell buy a jdm d15b but my question is
if i buy my motor with low miles like 30,000 how far can i push that motor as far as psi and still have a reliable daiy driver
im tryin to figure out the most bang for my buck i want to stay d series for a while and am not made of money
if i dont turbo i want to do all motor build:
Fully ported head d16 with all new springs retainers and valves stage 2 bisimoto cams with adjustable cam gear
ZC pistons i have read that they give higher compression
bisimoto header
full exhaust
and ITB's
i just want to know the general opinion of these ideas which people think is better and why obviously i know turbo has much more potential but i am much more familiar with all motor plus i think getting good all motor numbers from a d series is just sick
let me knoe

 

If you're talking about best bang for the buck then boost it.

 

i have a turbo d16 some im kinda biased.
just know that both options are going to cost you a lot of money.

but....for the same amount of money invested, turbo will get you where you would wanna go power wise.
