My wife drives a 97 EX 5spd. & we can't deside to go the turbo route or do the B swap & just run N/A for quite a while. Turbo would be an easier way to take but the B swap can be a bit more time consuming. Opinions?

 

B series.

 

worng turbo will be alot more time consuming swaping in a B series motor can be an done in 4-6 hours, very easy. turbo requirs droping the oil pan welding a bung, all kinds of fun stuff.

as far as what to go, id go b series NA, unless you and your wife want to spend alot of time reading info about turbo setups. i wouldn't suggest turbo route unless you have alot of knoledge because there is alot of **** that can and will go wrong.


the the B series its NA and its honda OE reliablity can't **** with that ****

 

yeah, what he said, i just didnt want to explain why to go B series.

 

I drive a 99 coupe with a B16,

go D series turbo.

 

get a USDM or JDM B18C5/B18C-R swap and call it a day. You will be happy and headache free cause it'll be reliable and fast.

 

Turbo d. No question.

 

turbo d, this thread has been covered over and over and over.. LOOK

 

NA THE B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know its not an option but..

TURBO B-SERIES

 

there are tons of threads already about this. it depents on what you want and how much you know about turbos. since i have some extra time and interest, im turboing my d series.

 

OK I was wrong on that issue. I forgot about the oil pan line. DUH!!! Tha's what I get for posting when I'm half asleep. Thanks guy!

 

Reported to a mod? OK so tell me what crime I commited by asking a question. There's aolt more things to report than something as trivial as this.

 

It really depends on what you want there guy. If you want the most reliability you can get and not having to work on it constantly to every so often, then B series is by far the way to go. However, if you want power, a NICELY tuned turbo setup on a D will slap around most B series motors. This once agian, will cost you a hefty price. Me personally, I'd turbo the D . . . .

Search next time. 5 mins of searching and i get 4 threads in resent. I dont want to even look through Archives because that showed up over 800 different threads.

This question, no matter how answered is always personal opinion. Nothing more nothing less. Thats why it as reported.

 

last time i checked this wasnt first grade and we didnt tattle tattle anymore, anyhow i'd turbo charge the D, thats what im doing

 

swap in a b18c1 (gsr), c5 is a waste of money--its a gsr bottom end with a b16 head. gsr has most potential IMO for NA, or forced induction...i have a friend with a 96 ex turbo and hes under the hood all the time and if you want hes sellin his turbo kit message me and lemme know if you want it.

 

it really depends on your final goals. if you want a pretty quick street car then go turbo d series. If you want serious speed, go for a swap and then turbo.

 

Ps a swap alone will cost you more than a turbo kit. and you'll get more power if you run 4 or more psi

 

I say go B series... i really dont want to start a 20 page argument but I'd say theres more potential.

 

its gonna take a built b series to hang with a turbo D...

 

If your not a mod don't tell me what I should or should't post. You may know more about conputers & the internet while this stuff is still fairly new to me. So before you start casting stones think a bit. I clicked in all of those threads & you were in one of them with post saying don't turn this into a B vs. D disscussion again. If you don't like what you read or see, skip over it. It's not hurting you to do that @ all. If you want a prefect Forum then start one yourself. There are far worse things THAT SHOULD be reported than something of this nature. For all others in here please forgive me for this long post. I really appreciate those who gave me striaght answers without giving me a bunch of sensless hassle. I will make mention of this NO MORE. Thanks guys.
