ya a k20 stock will run like a ****in 13 or less but a d16y8 will run faster cause u can turn up the boost but if u get a y8 and boost it u need to get a good oil pump cause ay8 oil pump..pumps 8 gallons a min. and u need at leat 11gallons so port and shim the oil pump and it will run for at least 6 months to a year..mine ran for 3 years

The D will be cheaper. The K will be better in every other aspect.

Even a built and turboed B series will be cheaper than an NA K series. You could build like 6 Vitara/ Eagle turbo D's for the price of a K swap

Hit 300 hp N/A on a k20 will take you a while, not to mention a shitload of money

The boosted D will be much cheaper, but I think the K would be better in the long run.

ya there are aftermarket ones like.."toga hv oil pumps" but your best bet is to get on ebay and search oil pump for a y8 and there are ones on there that have already been port and shimmed..thats were i got mine before i boosted the y8....a boosted y8 is every dependable only if you drive easy on a daily basis....if you floor it everywere then your always at maxium boost but if your just driving normal then your sitting at a low psi....so d16boosted are dependable it just depends on how you drive that bitch....pm for anymore question n/ahonda97
