Default ?for those who have swapped or gone turbo?

I have a 95 Civic Si. My question is for those of you who have a CIVIC Si or Ex(D16z) and went the turbo route and for those in any CIVIC who did a b16 or b18 swap. Tell me why you chose one over the other. Please also let me know of any reliability problems that you have had. I have been debating the greddy turbo kit (with stronger internals as needed) or a b16 swap. I am not looking for an all out race car just something reliable but quick enough to have some fun. If you do have a crazy setup I would love to hear about that also. Oh and MPG would be a great help if you know how much you have been getting since I will be using this as a daily driver.
thanks

From some of my searches that I have read in the past, a turbo with 5-7 psi can get around 165-180HP at the wheels on a D16Z. I was amazed to see those #'s, + the TQ was amazing for a 1.6. Anyone heard of reliablity problems?

This has been covered HUNDREDS of times. Why don't you do some searching instead of asking us to spoon feed you decisions...

greddy turboed z6 i got about 30-33 miles per gallon
on my b18c1 get between 25-30 miles per gallon

If i were you I would go with a greddy kit. You can make decent power pretty reliably and it will only cost you around 1100 bucks.

thanks for the help all!! Where can I find a new greddy turbo kit that cheap ($1,100). I am guessing that that price was for a used kit

I was thinking that going turbo would be the better route as long as it was at low boost with I/C. So no one that has replyed has had any problems with there turbo D16.
thanks again

Here man. This is why I posted it, because it's not that easy to SEE real results from a boosted D-series motor.
