(Unless you are a show car where that would gain you some points)  Seriously you pay all that money to be able to say you have a DOHC VTEC engine but really it isn't that fucking special?</p>

<p dir="auto">For instance for that swap it would cost around $6k for everything even if you did everything yourself.  And look at the dynograph all that money for just 190 hp?</p>
<p dir="auto">Am I missing something here?  When I had my EX I wanted a b18c1 swap but for $3k to only get maybe 145 whp I really had to take a step back and think about what the hell I was doing.  But then I got the Talon. (Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.) <img src="https://fargostreet.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=40430adaedb" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" /></p>

Yeah that was one hell of a shitty driver with that car.  He was missing something from the fuel system.  I think it was a fuel pump but the car didn't make power after 5500 rpms.</p>

<p dir="auto">my car came with a b series also. all i have been saying from the beginning is people can make there car fast how ever they want. if they want to use a b series fine if they want to use a d series fine. in the end i don't really care, as long as they're happy with their car and i'm happy with my car.</p>

People can do whatever they want with their engines, I am just saying that there isn't a reason to do a B swap when a D can do the same or more for the same ammount of money. Oh yea, and if you are talking about their 9 sec n/a RSX that they just recently unveiled, guess what they built the K that came with the car which has NOTHING to do with swapping engines.</p>

<p dir="auto">Building a honda engine is the same no matter what engine it is.</p>
<p dir="auto">eg: forged internals, upgraded cam, upgraded valvetrain, sleeves.</p>
<p dir="auto">Once a D or B is built they will pretty much take anything that you can throw at them. <img src="https://fargostreet.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=40430adaedb" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" /></p>
<p dir="auto">The only real difference is the B can flow more CFMs.  Which will be able to make it produce more horsepower overall, but every day someone builds a stronger D.  Plus D's generally come in lighter cars which makes up for the small ammount of difference with the weight to power ratio.</p>

<p dir="auto">And just because someone is going to be bitchin about proof.  Here is a quote from another forum, this is just one 500 hp D series that took me about 2 min. of searching to find:</p>
<p dir="auto">"I'm selling my 1989 CRX Si with a built and turbo'd D16Y8 in it. The setup is TurbodCX's (on honda-tech) old setup. It made 502whp and 370ft lbs of torque on 33psi with race gas. Right now it's running off of the 20psi wastegate spring, and is tuned on 93 oct. pump gas. The car runs great, I've barely driven it since it's been finished, but now I'm heading off to school and just don't have the time or money to put into it any more. I'm looking for trades or money, I spent over 7,000 dollars on the engine and turbo setup alone. PM me with reasonable offers, serious inquiries only</p>
