well its a tough choice, but dont forget, the b16 is alot more reliable and has higher re-sale value (unless you part out the turbo kit) its a toughie

for more reliability... of course a N/A motor.. so the b16...

But if you wish to have the overrated glory of telling an owner of a DOHC motor what you have after you beat them... then the SOHC-T

I'd say go for it but eventually you will go back to B-series

as do most d-series owners (except those die hard enthusiasts on here that just get a kick out of smashing on $4000 swapped vehicles with their $200 motors with boost)
