b series isn't overrated, it's just over used. all the honda engines are pretty damn good and you can make pretty much the same power on any of the engines for about the same price. each person has a prefference. i'm an f series guy. torquez is your friendz

My original plan was to do a single cam vitara boost setup. Being in the position that i am in i started evaluating what type of car enthusiast am I. Racing, show, show n go, etc. Out of all the car's i've build only ONE has been to the track, Im not looking to build a track car, im more of a DD that likes to go faster then the guy next to me and looking nice while doing it, so doing a fully built setup is not really a must for me.

So I started putting a lot of though into what i really wanted to do and I first started with wanting to do a fully built vitara setup, then it went to just boosting my d16z6 w/ stock internals, and with gas prices and my money issues, its just cheaper to swap a B into my car.

Im not really in a rush to do anything with this car, being that money is tight, but i do have big plan for this car. If i havent already swap the motor by the end of this year then i'll probably will end up boosting the d16z6.

I wish i had my own place where i can rip everything out and just let the car sit while i still having another car to DD.

i guess over rated was the wrong way to say it... i dont know, i used to be a big b-series fan but over the past year i've really learned the real potential of a d-series (was already a fan to begin with) and after learning everything that i have, i'm just really starting to shy away from b-series, at least when it comes to boosted applications. now when it comes to all motor, yes, i will def opt for a b over a d in that case. i love me some gsr action

touche. over used is a better way to put it. and i def. wouldn't mind doing an f swap into something. its one of those "on the list of things i want to do" type things lol. right my now a friend has a 4dr civic that happens to be in need of a new engine and he happens to have an f23 long block...i'm trying to convince him to do it. would be sooo much fun

i can def respect that. unlike most people, you have actually taken the time to sit and think about exactly what it is you want and what to use to accomplish it. sounds like you're def going in the right direction. i'm just so used to hearing people say, d's suck, you cant do anything with them. to have a real engine, you gotta have a b-series, blah blah blah. and i am def in the same boat when it comes to the money situation right now. **** sucks
