Take the free b16, build it and boost that.

How could you not take a free b16.

I'm usually one to bach b16's but if you get it for less than $600 I'm all good with it. Just boost it.

It's up to you, I loved my sohc and it was simplistic. If your in it for rarity also, I say stick to a D-series turbo.

There's many ways you can attack this. I'd put the b16 in there, build a b18b1 bottom, then swap that in there w/a turbo.

Or you could take & sell the b16, build a d16, put together your own kit, get it tuned, and have 2x the power of any NA b-series for the same price.

sell the b16 swap for sure, and do a crazy d16 build, i bet with jist the cash of a b16 (probalby doesnt have everything you need) and the extra money you're going to spend with a b16a youd be in the 400horse range more if you get it sleeved

b16- 160hp &lt;400 horse turbo d

If he's giving you a motor, take the b16 and turbo it.

End of story, you're taking the motor anyway.

get the motor in your garage/shed/house and then ask us.
