Im so confused i dont know what i want. I havent the three options and i cant decide which one i want due tho tha fact that i dont plan to spend over 3000. So can some of yall give me some suggestions on what to do and i want it to be a reliable daily driver.

 

well unless you currently have a b16 I dont think you will be able to pull off swap/turbo for under 3k.

 

im bout to buy a 95 ex and the owner is giving me the b16 longblock along with the car

 

boost the d. and spend the money one building the **** out of it. all there is to it

 

f sohc go dohc y make 195 whp when u can turbo the dohc and get 270whp with the right tunner and if u already have turbo kit for sohc all u have to do is change exhaust mainfold

 

sell the b16 and turbo the d

 

D16 turbo....its a powerhouse with tremendous torque

 

D16 turbo no doubt

 

sell both engine and get a LS w/turbo

Huh?

Turbo b18 can make the most power for cheap, I think. Xenocron is making 300 whp on his stock b18 block.

 

ok lets see a built D can make over 400hp and run safe on a good tune and last. a boosted B wont do it and if it dose not for long.

 

its all about money....the d-series will run out of breath before the LS will and the LS will run out of breath before the b16, but to reach each motor's potential you have to fork over more and more money....so set your hp goals and lay down a budjet and then decide what to do.

 

If money is the issue. You need to build the D!

 

ls/vtec biatches

 

not to jack thread but i am going through the same ordeal, i have about 5500 to spend, and all i have is a d series turbo kit....no motor!

 

same delema here im thinking of switching to a b20vtec after a customers car made consistent 11.8's on a stock block on 12psi of boost. cars been running for 3months and regularly brought to the track.

im torn between a built D or a b20/ls vtec turbo

 

alright. ive had a d16 turbo, ls turbo, and an lsvtec turbo.

the d16 was smooth, but only ran 6-7 psi. it was very fun.

the ls turbo was nice, ran it up to 12 psi 100% stock motor, moved well, got me low 14 second slips.

the lsvtec was about 12 psi, but i had a much better exhaust setup. was night and day over the ls, which was night and day over the d16.
