+1, unless you just want to be different and show off a quick d series. It's whatever you want. Depends on what your looking for.

 

Boost the D, anybody that chooses to run a stock B16a2 over a boosted D is a ricer .

With a B16 you get what, 140, 145 tops hp?

Not that much more than a stock D series, with like 10 more ft-lbs of torque (which is just pathetic). Use a D, on stock internals it could double your HP. Using the HP equation you can calculate an estimated flywheel torque for the B16A2 and the D16Z6 respectively:

(5250 * 160) / 8300 = 101ft-lbs tq.
(5250 * 125) / 7200 = 91ft-lbs tq.

55superbeetle's stock D16Z6 on boost - bone stock with ARP headstuds
Using about a 7000 RPM peak torque redline, he's running 245hp @ 185ft-lbs tq. - not only that, but those numbers are at THE WHEELS. The B16a2 produces 160 hp at the crank, giving it like 130-145 hp at the wheels. This is about 100hp over that.

Boosted D &gt; B16a2...

 

that depends upon the situation though. If he just wants to go faster, then just boost the D. Ive seen built d's go up to 400+. If you wanted some power/ wanted a reliable DD with lower miles than the motor already in there, i would swap it. It would also depend on your budget/time frame.

 

Boost the D. I'm in the process of doin it now. Should be lot's of fun.

 

Sell the D and swap a B18b1 into your car.

You are in so cal and I know of plenty of people selling their complete B18b1 swaps for $700 or so. Save some cash and turbo that bish or just enjoy a comfortable DD.

Im currently in the process of each. I have two blocks... one for a stock build and one for a turbo build. The stock will be in to get that BAR sticker and to swap back in if I happen to receive a REF ticket. There is no way my B18b1-T is going to pass smog, but its always good to have a back up

 

turbo D.
