there's tons of info and debates about this already. Everyone who likes cheap power is going to say turbo the D series.

Everyone who thinks you have a lot more money than you do is going to say "B series and then turbo it".

Everyone who thinks the D series is lame is going to tell you to go B series. However, the B16 is also very lame.

It's a lame set up either way.
The B series is more radder (IDK why).
Atleast the turbo D series is quick and cheap.
If you have more money and want more power, turbo the B series.

I just answered for everyone.

Someone will also come on and tell you to correct your spelling of VTEC. I have taken care of this also.

Do some research on your own.
