This will be a good debate here.. There are those who will say turbo, and those who say B16... Then the ones who will say turbo B16!!!

I like to really express the doors that open when you turbo a naturally aspirated vehicle. MANY!! Good and bad. I prefer building up a stock turbo vehicle. Less hassle, and your main ingredients are already there, not to mention far less to swap (valves etc.) blah....

You could go with the B motor, but with the money you spend there, you could get some decent stuff for the D... Depends on your cash flow and time you have. My vote... Build the D!!
