What's a better motor guys? A d16y7 or d18y8??

Which route should I take for my swap? I'm swapping them into a 1991 integra with a b18a1 with auto transmission and am doing a manual swap

So what will I need?
What route is better ??

Then keep your b18a1 and do a vtec head conversion.

Or keep the b18a1 make sure its healthy (good compression) and slap a turbo kit on it


Turbo of choice
Fuel pump walbro 255
Rc 650 injectors
Arp head studs
New headgasket
And get it tuned
