thats what i'm running right now... at least u wont be the slowest d series/civic around

 

have you ran it on quarter mile...?
what was your time if you did

and are you satisfied with this setup?

 

well, i'm somewhat satisfied with my setup... but thats because i'm running a small turbo... a greddy 15g to be exact... i gained about 50-60 whp & 60-70 lb ft torque as compared to a stock d15b

it depends on the turbo tho, the bigger, the more power u'll get... but i'm satisfied as far as my driving style...

 

its fun for a while but then u get use to 200hp and start geting bored, ive had my set up for about 8 months now, and its a mid 13 sec car but it has no tourqe down low and tends to get boring, thats why i am almost done with my b18 turbo, i regret goin single cam because now im putting in the big money for what I really wanted instead of doing that in the first place

 

you could always do a LS swap... then you can run around 300 on stock internals..

 

well yea thats what im owrried about
cause i really wanna go dohc but i dont have the money
cause if i go dohc im goin with h22
and it would take me like 5 months to save up for it if not mroe and i need to put a motor in now cause mine has 197000 miles on it

 

and i have a mini me in my garage
that i can either put in ym car until is ave up or else sell it

 

if you wana go dohc.. just grab a b18b or b18a.. those things are real cheap to come by.

Or boost your sohc and build a block on the side.. or save for a b18b.

 

what if i go with a b16a and turbo it though?
thats cheaper then the b18s
and still pretty nice

a b16a isnt going to be cheaper than a b18a, you can get b18a/b's for 600-900 bucks...
