Default B18b or d16y7 turbo? WWJD??

What would you do: trade your turbo d16 for a B18b or keep it? My friend is thinking about trading his turbo for a b18b. I say he should wait for a B16 or B18C. What's your opinion on this matter? He has until the end of this week to decide. thanks

We live out here in cali so he wants to go smog legal. Is there any hope with a b18b with a greddy kit on it? That's smog legal I think... His D16 has a DRAG kit on it so it can't pass for anything.

It think it depends on what he is goin to do in the future.If he wants a powerplant that will handle power better and he plans on spending more money on his engine I think the b18 would do better but if he dosent want to spend a lot of money right away and just add on stuff along the way the old D should do just fine.turbo d's are nice I would pick it over a stock b18 any day of the week.

allmtr, If you're going allmotor, do you have to put a stroker kit in to have it considerd allmotor? I was talking to a guy @ Walmart the other day and said that exactly- "you have to put in a stroker kit in order to allmotor" was this guy bullshitting, or did he know what he was talking about?

All-Motor = No forced induction.

Forced Induction = Nitrous, Turbo, Supercharger.

You do not need a stroker kit to be considered all motor. As long as you do not have a Forced Induction of any kind, you are all motor.

no! he's talking out his ***. all motor is specifically the fact that your ALL MOTOR!! no turbo, no nos, no SC... etc... a stroker crank may help in making power and torque, but its not a must. i have friends that are all motor b16s and have a very built head and still remain 1.6. it mashes hard and beats many of the cars out there. a bigger stroke would make it an allmotor 1.8, instead of an all motor 1.6.... duh

so tell him hes dumb and so forth...

Good thread I was thinking the samething.
I've gotta y7 right now w/ y8 IM. Was thinking of finishing the mini-me and just boosting it. But for the price and power of a LS i'm in the situation where i dunno which is a better route to go.

LS:
-Good motor to build on
-alot of power for the price.
-more reliable then boosting

y7 Boosted:
-more power
-BOV

hmmmm..
