what do you guys think 900 on a B16A2 or on a turbo for my ZC Vtec which i spent a little time on and is already set up for a turbo to go in?

other suggestions welcome.

 

turbo the zc. unless you want to lets say "give me" the zc, then go b16a2 lol. but im a fan of sohc.

 

oh god. This will turn into another turbo D vs. NA B vs. Turbo B vs. H22 argument.

It's gonna be a bloodbath.

I will say this: The BEST possible mod for a D series is a B series swap.

lol it always is.

 

Theres no point to spend the same amount to swap a B16 (which is my least favorite B series other than the B20) when you could have a turbo D instead. Rather than making 220-240whp with the D, you'd rather have 145whp with the B16? To me, that just doesn't make sense.

A stock B16A would be more reliable than the boosted D. The 220whp version of a D series may be pseudo reliable....but not OEM reliable.

If you're drag racing as your only form of motorsports, the turbo D would be great.

 

b16a sucks ***, not enough torque. if ur seriously thinking about swapping a b-series, make it worth it, go type r or gsr.

 

thanks for the input i dont want this to be a bashing bloodbath though guys please keep it clean. just what you guys have said have the little mouse wheel crankin away with ideas, ill let the poll go for a week

 

bump

 

more votes and input anyone?

 

A d-series motor is also extremely cheap to replace. A b-series motor -- not so much.

 

Id boost the D. If you already built it for boost then boost it. Thats like renovating a car and leaving the seats out. Finish it off with that turbo. The hp will be way more than the n/a B16. The B16 has very low torque too, and thats no fun.

 

I vote turbo the D

That's what I'm doing. Also if you haven't make sure to check out turbod16.com they have tons of info there.

 

i say turbo the d cuz its alot more fun and faster but will cost alot of maintinece....but hey take the good with the bad rite....i was thinking of going allmotor dseries but probaly too expensive ....

 

well thnx guys and thanx for the link civicjoe

 

I beat a boosted eg hatch in my eg coupe with a slightly modified swapped b16a2 if that helps u...

 

yeah im sure you did but the set up i have now this puppy pulls hard and anything stock or slightly modified DOHC and SOHC iv won by 2 and 3 car lengths i think im staying SOHC.....its F-ing hilarious to see the faces when i pop the hood and they see they got spanked by a SOHC

 

I agree -- I've went against Mitusbishi 3000GT's, civic hatchs with b16s in them, a boosted eg coupe @ 7psi, an accord with a JDM h22 swap with the I/H/E bolt-ons, and a dodge srt-4.. Only car I lost to is the dodge srt-4 and it wasn't by much.. He was just slowly creeping by me.

3000GT's are SLUGS, a EJ, not an EG Coupe and you didn't say what motor it had, Accords are fat pigs, and SRT-4's are nasty with very little mods *Ala you lost*

And a key point in your statement is that you left out WHAT ALL IS DONE TO YOUR D16 aside from its turbo assuming that is what you drive *Let alone what kind of D16 it is*

i dont think it matters alls that matters is that those cars got spanked by the "supposed"underdog SOHC aside from the SRT 4

LOL

 

Turbo D.

I was debating with the same thing then I finally just said "F it. I'm going to college in the fall and don't feel like sinking all my time and money in a B16 swap. Turbo what I have for cheaper and make more power. End of story!"

I think you should do the same

 

My Turbo D16Z6 beat my friends 89 hatch with B16 and S2 S2 cams, but it blew up cause D16 are beat stock and my tune was ***, when you say built for boost what do you mean.


Also my friend was running a Turbo b16 in his rex with 500 whp daily no problems.

Now i have an LS with GSR trans and that is a comfy setup, t-minus 6 months till boost on that

you never made mention of 'spanking' any of them, you said you 'beat' them.

which still means nothing, Driver mod &gt; motor swap.
