ok, should i do a d16z6 swap and a turbo kit, or a stock b18c1? WHat are advantages between both of these?
thanks

 

ugh here we go again

b18c swap.

 

SLAY SLAY !!!

 

Advantage......torque. No lag. Factory engine made to run the way it is. Not too much of an attention getter when cop asks to pop hood.

Disadvantage: Less time under the hood figuring out why "it no worky" Turbo's are nice but, you may get boost happy and destroy your Z6.

 

Should I get a b16 or a b18? My friend said he'd sell me his hooked up b16 for cheap plus he said vtech kicks in louder. What should I do?

 

You will get more power for your dollar with the turbo, but the B18C is MUCH more reliable

 

MWHAHAHAHAHA.

Been there, done that.

BTW, why is this a "disadvantage"?

cant u run a **** load of boost on these, just stock though?

 

I have a turbo d16 right now and I am wanting to get a B18C1 and build that up.

Here are the problems you more than likely will have with a turbo:
--Oil blowby(very common with turbonetics turbos BTW)
--After a while you will need to get it rebuilt doe to seals or rod play. This may not be in the first year, but take a look and see how many turbo Honda owners are selling their turbos(the majority do this because they don't want to screw with it anymore).
--Fuel will need to be tuned or your car will be slower than it was w/o turbo
--Overboosting due to a faulty WG, gauge etc may cause you to blow the engine
--One misshift can cause you to blow the engine.(yes this can happen with N/A, but is even more critical being boosted)
--you wil get boost happy no matter what you say now. This is the primary reason our little boosted engines get blown, most newbies do not practice control.
