i have just recently purchased a the one-fab setup for my y8 but im reconsidering turbo the d and just swaping the b18b in there and changing the exhaust flange on the mani to fitt the ls. the reason im reconsidering is because i just put a ls in my bro eg and threw a turbo on it and its quick as hell and i doubt my d going to keep up with it even though i got a better turbo setup than he does he's just got the greddy kit. just looking for some opinions

b-series all the way

Makdaddynuge

well, what are your power goals?

jdm.ej

just to hold my own on the street. prob around 350 to 380..

Makdaddynuge

build the single cam and boost the **** out of it, or buy the b18b and get more torque, but you would have to build either one to meet those power goals.

I say get the B

JustinL

d series fa sho. im looking for 350-380 on my daily driver before i blow it up with nitrous. only 100 hp from my hopes and dreams

HitEm'Up

B series

blackeg

dont try and do 380 on a built d. you are going to have constant issues.

(no im not a d hater i had a turbo d and loved it)

jdm.ej

if my bro decides to give me his ls and it aint to much trouble changing the manifold over to B serire im going to do it. the hell if im going to spend another 1400 on mani and dp. all the b18b prob needs is valves becuz his are knocking and we seem to think one my be bent

get the b series....build and boost 350 easily

NVturbo

You will definitely have more power potential with a B-series....not dissing turbo'd D-series by the way.

jdm.ej

we'll its final im going b series i just bought my bro ls for 400.. i just need to know can i just change the ehxaust flange and it still produce the same power
or are the d series mani runner smaller??

If the manifold is brand new in the box why not ask if you can exchange it.

jdm.ej

becuase they custom make the mani for your its not like they just have alot of them just sitting around

Considering those manifolds are made off of a jig and not some wild thing where every piece is hand cut, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind exchanging it. You send your manifold back, they build another B-series manifold. Next person to order a D-series manifold gets your manifold. Presto.

B series gets my vote.

I'm a D series lover, but if I wasn't afraid of my car getting stolen I would probably swap it in a second.

you can use the d-series manny if you want. just get a b-series gaseket and port out a little and you'll have to slot a mounting hole or two. i've seen it done and it works.

Im a d series nut and like it.. If I had big bank I would build b20s, but I like my turbo d..
