I am going to be getting an eg pretty soon and I decided to get a Z6 and turbocharge it. I already have the turbo kit that I pieced together rhb5, Hf mani, DSM bov, starion IC and hack. But now i came across a deal on a b16a2.
The b16 swap will cost about the same as the Z6 swap with the turbo kit. I want the hatch to be a reasonably quick little daily driver.

I want to know what you guys think should I go b or d-turbo?
What do you think will be worth more if I try to sell the car in the future?

With B16a2 you'll have a better motor to start out with. But in the other hand that Z6 turbo'd sounds really nice since you got the turbo kit pieces put together. It's a hard choice. I'm more of a B series guy though. What do you know...my B16a SirII is coming today.

I think the B series will get you more $$$ when you sell it...but i'm just guessing

how much did you pay for the swap?

Doh....not another one of these topics!

pick the one you want! You'll get plenty of arguements either way.

junkyard turbo would reak havoc in the D16 i would think. Turbos are a lot of problems for daily drivers. wear and tear goes up greatly with a turbo kit. but i would think if you are going to sell it within a few years (<4) the turbo would get you more money then a b16 and the wear would hopefully not be to bad on the engine.

For me, I would never buy someone else's turbo car. Who knows how they mantained it. How ghetto the set up and everything is. How bad they ragged it? Are all concerns.

Same concerns for an n/a motor but to me i would buy a swapped car before a turbo car.

I personally would go with a swap; turbo's can mess up an engine if the person who had it installed didn't know how to use it correctly. People with swaps are usually more inclined to have to work done professionally and know more about their vehicle. Anyone can buy a turbo for their car.

All depends on the potential buyer.....

just do what YOU want!

yea man, do what you want. The easyest and cheapest thing you can use in your project is time. When you rush, you get a rush job.

Get the b16, get the turbo, take your time. If honda's are your favriot hobbie, why half *** it, why just get it done. Take your time and get the best of what you can. Your online alive once.
