How much money do you have? do you have something else to drive while you do this project? and how dependable do you want it? ha ha.
if it were me I would just do the swap. and then maybe eventually go turbo from there.

werd.

Cliffs: I agreed with ProjeKt that the OP should go buy a Kia and thus, I have told the OP to go buy a Kia. Or turbo the D...it might have some power in the mid-range.

 

you'll get bored of the b16 in like a week.

i say go boost...more potential to make faster.

(unless you're talking about boosting the b16 later on, then i say go straight to the swap)

 

I've got a thing for nicely set up dseries turbos. The whole B swap would cost more than a decent kit and some tuning, and be slower.

boost is better than 111 tq And besides, if he goes turbo, he won't really have the desire to individually index the intake and exhaust lobes.

 

turbo b16s are fun

boost the d15b. If for some reason you want to change to a b-series. Remember that a d-series turbo kit is only an exhaust manifold away from being a b-series turbo kit

aside from a turbo f-series in a civic, the most bang for the buck is either a turbo ls or a turbo d-series w/ rods + pistons.

which btw, to the OP, if you're looking into beefing up the d15b, take a look into the later pages of my build https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1670633

 

turbo the 1.5 depending on how far you want to push the singlecam . you d take a b16 in the same car as you any day of the week at 7 to 8 psi ..aslong as you dont have a super big turbo ..plus the girls love the soudn of the BOV

 

buy an ls motor and turbo it for the same price it would cost you to swap in a b16

gets my vote.

If you dont have that much money then, i would turbo the singleslamer. I know a few people with some nice good hp setups.

 

get a b16 and boost that.

I love how every person defending the shitty D automatically points to the torque number of the B16 like the D is a torque monster. The B16 is a better overall motor than the D in EVERY way. So what if you boost the D, I'd still take a NA b16.

they're what, 20% better and 300% more expensive. valve springs + cam = better investment.

I prefer the B series tranny also and "options" down the road and aftermarket potential make the B a much better choice hands down.

In the end people will do what they want.
