So yes im new to the honda world and this may be a stupid question... Im planning on building my car and am at a brick wall... Original plan was to use the SOHC D16y8 rebuild with the goodies and boost.. While reasearching all i needed to do my friend unfortunalty crashed his car and has now offered me his complete B16 swap with everything with around 100k on it for 900 bucks including the uninstalled boost setup minus the intercooler.... Question is do i stick with the SOHC or dive into the swap???

 

DOHC! You also get the boost setup minus the intercooler for 900??? Thats a great deal.

 

Yea its a really good deal.. He just wants rid of it so he can fit his new jackson racing S/C teggy in the garage

 

get the b16/turbo setup

sell b16, keep turbo stuff

build your y8 and boost

 

If you got the cash then get the b16 but please if you are gonna boost build your bottom end.

 

Exactly what I was going to say.

 

id say do the swap sell the y8 build up the b16 and boost it

 

X2

With the extra money made from the swap, get another y8 and build it while you have the one in the car already. When its done swap the built one in and sell the old y8.

 

sohc ftw for sure boost that instead of a b-series

 

Think I may build the B series and boost it since my cars an auto now and i need to do an auto to manual swap and the b series swap comes with the tranny and linkage and lines. Sell the Y8 and build the B

 

dont listen to these eggs...

Get the B16 and turbo kit... Once its yours for sure sell your Y8...

 

if the B16comes with the trans, that would be your best bet. although i always liked a nice D series.

 

B16

gotta love a Dirty D ...

 

x2

 

What's with people and their infatuation with the D-series motors? Sure they're great but if you had to pick between a B16A or a D16Z6 that are both reasonably priced...honestly...

Go B16 and boost it!

 

id rather a z6 over pretty much any b16

 

having driven the same car with a z6 and a b16, i'd go with the b16 anyday. especially for the price.

and you don't have to worry about building the block unless you plan on more then 300whp. do your homework and get a good tuner.

 

since the price for the b16 is a steal!!! id go with that but i love sohc

 

you're high if you don't ****** that B up.

keep the D in your car for now and just drive it while you build the B.

 

I agree that a turbo B16 for that price is a steal and i'd do it to, but im roccin out my D series EX all the way lol.

 

If you're not on a budget, just get the B16, you'll have lots of fun and get the 5 speed right away! You can boost it when you're ready since you already have the parts, and you won't have to build anything. I'm a huge fan of SOHC-T, but you're getting a killer deal here and it will be plenty fast.

 

X2 hahaha...

 

OK thanks for all the help guys!!! Boosted B16 it is!! Any ideas on where to start?? Id like to see around 300WHP and keep it on somewhat of a budget...

 

Ill have to apoligize for my ignorance im used to building chevy 350's but just finished my last one and want to jump into the honda world a little .. thanks again
