Default Have any of you gone from Sohc Turbo to B series swap? What do you like?

i have a 93 ex 2 door 5 speed, im rebuilding my sohc d16z and making my own turbo kit from spare parts i have from my other car, such as ihi turbo, intercooler, piping, bov. Im going to get hondata, some light port work, some type or turbo cam, rebuild my tranny with phantom, and lightin up the flywheel a tad, to about 11 pounds or so. Have any of you gone from Sohc turbo, to dohc n-a, and which did you like better. i Love boost and know hwo to make power with it, so im not really worried my motor is missing one cam. Let me know what you liked and didnt. The one thing i really like about dohc motors are the tranny options, gsr, itr, si, so many nice trannys to choose from.

I have ridden in both, and boost is MUCH funner, just the sound and feeling alone makes you love it. But if you are going to throw that much money into the D, I would suggest getting a B16 or B18 and get a manifold for it.
