What would be faster, cheaper, and more reilable after spending cash? D16 or B18

The only reason why I want to rebuild the engine first is because that it will be more reilable that way. my engine done 181K kms at the moment and I save my money up until it hits 210K kms or whenever it starts to loose its power haha.

lmao this is def/ best engine

btw 4k for mods or 4k whole budget for b18+sc
and what b18c2 or c7

For $4g your best bet is a b18C2 swap or a cheap/basic turbo setup on the D. Go turbo IMO. Use standard internals and just keep the power output relatively low (120kw or less atw) and the block should be fine. Any more and it might shit itself.

for the price of a b18c stock block with super charger, u could rebuilt ur d16 with pistons, rods, slight head work an aim for a good 300hp and with good tune u be lasting for along time before anything breaks

300 HORSES?????? :O Ok I am 100% positive for going this idea now :D I better go buy the SAVE THE SOHC sticker after doing it :P haha! But seriously! 300HORSES???

Don't let the blood drain too much from your head to your pants bro, keep it real ;)

Would it change if I said 500hp?

Forget eBay turbo kits, my initial thoughts was to turbo it the "cheap" way, but I learnt quick that forced induction isn't cheap.

Build your own kit using good quality 2nd hand or brand new.

I have no knowledge on D16's but I'm slowly acquiring parts for my B18A1, and hope to see 150-160fwkw on a safe tune (7ish psi).

I basically googled B18A1 turbo kits, got a general idea of what people were using for what power outputs, and started writing a list and sourcing parts.

Hope this helps :)
