With 4,000?

 

if i go vtec i dont want to turbo it so if its vtec all motor

 

like eksi said, id turbo the D and pocket the rest... you can also do an all motor build on the D series if you'd like, it may be cheaper than buying a B-series and you can get your sohc to put down just as much power... with 4000 though, id definately go with turbocharging the SOHC (as making more power may be easier), maybe getting some tougher rods and some vitara pistons... basically, build the D-series for turbo rather than a B18, it will be cheaper and they do put down some pretty nice numbers bro!... just a suggestion..

yea i didnt understand what he was saying there...

 

bump for more turbo D's

 

I would not go allmotor On a d series unless I had a Tree that bloomed money every spring. Or was going for the under dog. Out of the two i would choose turbo because of the Power gain to money ratio.

 

230 hp to the wheels on a d16z6 daily driver :D

 

i wanna dump my b16 for a d/turbo

z6 w/ a6 or zc pistons and rods + a good tune, doesnt sound expensive to me unless one is looking to go for some numbers anywhere larger than 130-150whp.. but i agree, that is going for the underdog (however making stock B-series #'s, give or take a few), turbocharging will make it cheaper to make more power out of a SOHC...
