depends on your plans with your civic or del sol...

 

I'll probably be the only one to say this....


Boost the D

 

This will be a good debate here.. There are those who will say turbo, and those who say B16... Then the ones who will say turbo B16!!!

I like to really express the doors that open when you turbo a naturally aspirated vehicle. MANY!! Good and bad. I prefer building up a stock turbo vehicle. Less hassle, and your main ingredients are already there, not to mention far less to swap (valves etc.) blah....

You could go with the B motor, but with the money you spend there, you could get some decent stuff for the D... Depends on your cash flow and time you have. My vote... Build the D!!

 

a b16 is just a d16 with another cam. turbo the d dude.

 

thanks... the B16 is for free from my brother in law its just i have a limit on$ i have $1300 but i need to swap his engine in my car and my engine in his car! that cost me $1200 i was just wondering if it would be a good idea to pay that much for instalation or just buy turbo?
