i would like right around the 300hp range sooner or later. I dont want to have to spend a lot on tuning the thing all the time. I just want it to run good and be quick. i would be satisfied if i hit 13 with it in a year or so. summer of 06 i would prolly just do little miner mods like the intake, full exhuast, plugs, wires fuel stuff, ignition and what not.

BUT... bottom line is if you want over 300whp........ you'll either need to b-series turbo, or a well built d-series.I completely agree. The fact of the matter is that you can have as many d-series motors as you are willing to pick up out of people's driveways....b-series are still expensive to replace. Blow up a d-series?!?!?....who cares. In a turbo app there isn't many up's to have the b-motor.

agreed. however it also depends on the person, if you decide to test the limits of the stock d-series make sure that you are willing to put in the time to swap motors/trannies/clutches... if you're not willing to do that, this may not be the route for you.

what i was saying was, simple bolt ons ie: headers, exhaust, cai doesn't increase hp very much on any B, D, H, F series honda engine.
as far as going D or B if he plans on going with around 300 hp. i have this feeling its going to end up costing him more in parts and labor with a D series in the end, because 300 hp is about as much as you can push out of the D and thats built. now if you blow that up you have to buy another have it built and put in again. 300 hp out of a B series is relatively descent power for a B. your not pushing it to its limits so parts breaking isn't quite as much of a problem.
just out of curiosity what has tufte all replaced on his D? and what has gsr all replaced on his B?

to make any power with a turbed honda u MUST sleeve the block then it wouldnt matter what motor u went with because u could push 25+ psi and if u want more just go with a bigger turbo..
b16-2000$
sleeves-1000$
supporting mods- lets just say 1000$
huge turbo-1000$
labor and shit- idk ask somebody that knows -

that would move a hatch pretty good wouldnt it. I mean yait should move it a lot better then the d15 91 hp moves it. What do you think i could run in the 1/4 with the b18c1?
