Default worth it?

is it worth getting a D15b from hmotorsonline.com? and then maybe even boosting it later on? what do you guys think im confused on a D15b swap then turbo it, or B16a

Depends what your lookin for. You could save a few clams by gettin the D15b, for a nice turbo kit, cause D motors are cheap easy power, and if done right, you can get it to about 200hp with just bolt ons, making it a decent 14 sec car.

On the other hand, B16's are a good start for swapping over to a Dual Cam motor.

In all honesty, ive seen Single-cam turbo's Rip Dual Cam's a new one, so if i had to choose, id go D15b turbo, cause boost is better

you said you could get 200hp with bolt on's. a turbo isnt a bolt on.

I don't know of any reputable shops that will tune for $100, never mind a turbo tune...

N/A well i just dont have the money right now for a B18 then turbo i just whant something better then my 70Hp engine, so the D15b should do it and boosting it would make a fun car once everything is said and done il just buy a B18c and build it up, racing cams,pistons, etc and if money is not an option at the time lol say hello to boost again.

The shops here in KC charge $100 an hour. My tuner says to expect about three hours of dyno time to tune the NepTune system I am using.
