good thing about a D is if you blow it up they are about $300-400 an engine!
my b series swap cost me $7200 with a 30,000kms motor from Japan about 5 years ago.. Only if i knew back then what i knew now :(
im running rb20 turbo @ 10psi with a d16A8 (stock internals, but rebuilt) @ the moment, def cheap thrills, esp past 4000rpm :)
RB20 cheap to replace, already broke one :) get a good exhaust manifold, i've got a cheap ebay crap @ the moment, most of the probs are with my mani now, cant take the heat and cracks, had a friend weld up for now, i shouldn't suggest other forums, but www.turbod16.com (US site) has a ton of info. The yanks have used and abused the D16's
I guess it comes down to funds, i've done all of the replacing myself (except rebuild) so not paying labor costs (broke at the moment) i've learned a s**t load from messing with the car, easy engine to work on
Hope this helps a bit

hi bro! 4 yrs ago i had a D16 turbocharged back in singapore and what i can give an advise is DON'T DO IT! I had lots of problems coming after that the Engine was giving me more Than i spent for the TC . And the power u are getting is not that u expect For sure... Think twice bro Turbocharging is not about doing up a Simple job.. those that really TC their cars They should know the Price to pay. As for honda is make NA thats why till now honda Is still Not Switching to TC Cos for many years their engine is make to Be NA Thats why is high com. Unless u wanna make ur engine to low com and that will cost u heaps , Get a b18 Front cut With Their Gearing 4.785 U should be happy on Hills And streets.. The Following Link is my Mates EK4 Turbocharged That Won A R35 In singapore Yes its fast But he spent A lot too ... d16 has its limits bro! Tuning also makes a very big diff!
