dseries turbO vs ausdm b16a?

[iwantvtec]

well i've got bout 3.5 k 2 play with. On my eg. i was wondering whether to drop a sohc 1.6l vtec engine in my eg n turbo it or go with the b16a? just gimme some feed back pros n cons on both etc. LOL i was gonna turbo my b16a in the long run, jus for the wank factor of saying VTEC TURBO~!~!~!

turbo $$ > B16a $$

[tRipitaka]

turbo > b16a

power wise, and wank factor wise..

turbo > b16a

power wise, and wank factor wise..

but if you get a dodgy d16 that is on its way out and turbo it your gonna have heaps more headaches

$3.5k is not enough for Sohc vtec+turbo.. unless u wanna get a shit turbo kit.. and labour is not free.. reali reliable turbo setup requires at least $5k... and also shit happens when u turbo a car.. need spare cash.. if u dun have at least $7k in total.. dun do it... you gonna lose sleep as ur car wil be stuck at home..

Jus get b16a for now.. instead power gain from 1.5non vtec.. den turbo it as ur christmas present.. den u fly..

pfft..
some peeps are running 130kw+ atw with their turbo'd d-series..
a lot of peope underestimate a d series.. heh

[B147ch]

dude, and an engine swap is cheaper??
d series engines are dirrrrt cheap
b16 swap will set u back around 6 g's anyway! i got quoted like 3.5 grand for a b16 half cut. labour etc etc your looking at that final figure.

lol... a turbo D series has more possibilities to go wrong and spend more $$ den having swapping a b16a which is straight forward..

B147ch.. go to some real honda engines sale ppl... 3.5 b16 half cut is crazy.. some ppl onli selling it for $2k+.. and 6k in total including labour.. come on.. u have been quoted a b18c jap spec price at least..

b16a swap with labour in eastern states can be done for $3.5-$4k.. i guess..

dude i called up a local n he quoted me that price. it may have been a jap spec B16a but still at that price.. reason being is cos theyre rare to find nowadays. i was thinking bout swapping a B16 as well, but found it more feasable to just turbo my SOHC VTEC.. dont get me wrong, i'd love to do a swap.. but it just seems like a real headache... (ran an eg b16.. heh.. not an awful lot of difference i tells ya!)

[B147ch]

B16a half cut: $3600
LSD, gearbox, spoon vtec controller, ECU, headers, and CAI.

Ya think!!

I'm at 160wh at the fly for just under $4000 with my Turbo D on stock exhaust, with be 173wk at the fly with bigger…

Would been even cheaper if I did all my shit first and tuned all at once..
