B16 guy whoops d16 guys ass and they've both spent the same amount of money.
If you wanna compare budgets go to financial aid. We're comparing engines & performance man.
My first turbo setup was 3k. Tuned to 11psi.Quote:

Sexc86 shouldnt even talk, he's got the most riced up car in the world. his turbo makes him slower cus it adds more weight....everyones talking about how they can win rolling blah blha WHO CARESS do u go to the drag strip and ask for a rolling start? i dont think so....any engine has some kind of potential.....but dont talk the D series up.....it aint that great...

need to compare 2 STOCK gen 2 crx's both with d16a8... Path A owner swaps out and converts with a Bseries.... Path B Owner spens the same amount of money on a turbo conversion.. hence more power and faster car...
however you are correct if someone with a bseries SIR were to spend the same amount of money as a turbo conversion cost on a D16a8 it would be in the clear by far..
but we ahve allready covered this earlier.... if you have a Bseries we are not saying swap it out for the D.. we are saying if you have a Dseries dont swap it out for a B over a turbo conversion... as its less value
The reason i blew engines was because of dodgy engine builders. Im not going to name names though.
lol weq your a man of mystery

the whole reason why there is such a classic argument with the turbo D vs B16 is because they are within the same budget ! Bolt on Turbo kit D vs Stock B16 (Not B16 with I/H/E)
ok budget vs budget then.
stock car with b16 vs stock car with d16.
Give each person 3 or 4 grand to spend and see who can make the most out of it...D16 person buys turbo kit and b16 person buys turbo kit.
B16 guy whoops d16 guys ass and they've both spent the same amount of money.
