I keep having this mental debate over turbo charging my Si engine ( 1988 Crx Si ) or saving up and swaping in a b16/b18c1. Now both are going to cost in the end around 2-2.5k to do it right. This car is not my "race car" its my DD so I'm looking to hit around 160 hp or so. It need to be reliable!I dont think he wants ungodly power from it...just to make it really scoot

put a b18c in it, because in the end it's gonna be more reliable and it'll have more then enough power for a fun daily driver. if it was my car i'd try to lighten it as much as possible and build the a6 a little bit because you may be amazed at how much fun it can be

...plus machine shop costs, new bearings and seals while the motor is apart, piping for the IC, blah blah blah I think id swap it.

With those 2 options, definately go turbo on the d series.
b-series swaps are so fucking overpriced. 2-3k for fucking 160-180hp, wtf.
Another option I would opt for would be maybe a 50 shot of nitrous, cheap and easy. Plus I would think the motor could handle that with no issues as its a small shot.

You make a very good point. The IC piping my "crew" will be doing, but as for installing the rods and what not I will need to pay some one, and it will not be cheep. -

I'm a huge fan of the d-series turbo. Such great potential with excellent gas mileage. Who needs VTEC? Besides, then you get the joy of boost...the sound of the spool and BOV....I vote turbo.VTEC + boost = more power than boost w/out VTEC.
Gas mileage? I got 33 mpg w/ 720cc injectors and a b series.
IMHO if you only want 160 whp do the swap. Down the road you can turbo it and make 300+ whp on a stock block.
