30kw???
turbo
^^^lol dude
"Money and performance wise" he should spend the money on his evo6 and keep the eg as a fuel economic daily... like really why spend $4k+ on anything.... 30kw at the wheels or at the fly is still a lot.
If it was me i'd do a B18B/B20... plenty torque/power to weight on a light chassis for cheap as chips engine.. minimal spend for maximum gains in drivability for daily drive use.
if u find me a da1 with rwc and whatnot ill sell u my b18b
you should be the last person to talk about money and performance ron
where have you gone with your b16?
being his daily i'm sure he can't afford much downtime
and its sure going to be tough gaining 30kw through his planned means(pistons, cams, ecu, etc)
more work done, more things to go wrong
i say toss out the stock d16 and slot in a b18c2 and be done with it
fuel economy's not going to go to shit just because you have a slightly bigger motor
my b18c7 seems to use the same as my old b16a2 with similar driving habits
yeah on a budget of less than $5k
i'd still vote for the b18c2 instead of going through the trouble of working the mighty d16
i'm surprised beeza hasn't posted links from the almighty d-series.org.. i've read a few of their techs and i've never come across a big power one in NA form.
If he is willing to spend $5k though then plenty of options with any B18 and upwards as a minimum.... i've spent enough on the b16 and its still crap and i'm sure others will agree.. the only thing to really wake it up is a FD which i can't afford... can't go half-arse on a B16 build IMO
***EDIT***
what i don't understand is how the OP went from a T-Sport to a EG + evo6 then wanting to pour money into an d-series EG???
D series has like 50-60kw atw?
getting it to about 90kw, that's alot of work from a D, without boost
interesting...
i didnt know it would b something this hard to only gain 30kw at the engine, i thought of it as something as easy as ecu tune to 9rev with big cam = 30kw hahaha guess not with the d16a8.
but yeh after all its a daily so when i do have the spare cash mayb a b18 swap like many here would b more of a better idea.
thanks guys for all the info and ideas.
