Hey guys,

Im planning do a engine coversion to my EG, atm it has a d16y.. Just need some advice on what to put in it..

Thinking between

b16a
b18c7
k20a


Is there any way to work up a b16 to have power like the b18 without forced induction? would it cost cheaper than buying the b18?


thanks guys

b16 doesnt have enough torque... and the k20 is abit on the expensive side atm...

end of the day, it all depends how deep are ur pockets...

why not rebuild and turbo th d16 =D

Hey mate. b20 is your answer. It might not be cheaper but wont cost too much more than a b18c and the gains are really worth it. :thumbsup:
