Turbo charging my d16a6
-
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.

Yes for most things my "crew" does our own work.Speaking of we fixed a double wish bone suspension on a 1992 JDM swaped Prelude yesterday. The only reason I bring this up is becuse Tires Plus told us that it was un-fixable, and that we would have to bring it to a suspension specialist. Teaches Tone to go to Tires Plus.

Yep we can do a swap, even got a cherry picker.btleier wrote:
I'd say definitely turbo it.... you will never find a b18c1 swap for 2000-2500 anywhere, and the b16 is a waste of money imo. turbo it, turbo it, turbo it....
This is what has been decided.I'm going to turbo it, and run a nice small amout of boost.
Thanks for all the advice!
