since you asked for "easy", a b16 all motor will fit this profile. Wiring is easy, with the proper mounts it is a straight drop in and it is already all motor.

d16z6---> lot of wiring if you're going to convert to obd1 unless you get a conversion harness. AND you still need to put the turbo on which can vary depending if it is a do it yourself or a kit.

I'd still say a b16 would be "easier" between the two.

b16 for the ease of the install itself.
why i would choose? turbo is a reliability thing for me.and you need the best fuel management to tune it right.

i would love to turbo mine but sooooooo much money for it to run the right way.

dont get me wrong i like the d series but throwing a turbo on a non turbo car is not worth the hassle.
unless you have an umlimited supply of funds!
