250hp atw, whats the best way to go?

**dauno** · 22-09-2008 05:58 PM

I've got a 95 EG5 VTi, with the d16 SOHC. Its getting a bit tired tho, after 275 xxx on the clock.
My target is to get 250hp out of it, but i dont know if its worth rebuilding this motor and going turbo? or maybe get a B series, work it and keep it na?

I know its probably more a matter of personal preference, but im just trying to find out the best way to do it?

thanks heaps

ok thanks, what sort of $$$ you reckon for the bottom end kit and turbo?

You can acheive that with a stock B18C (ITR) or B18C (VTIR), even a B16A2, with a decent turbo setup.

ah ok nice. B16 turbo sounds nice haha
is it worth trying to get this sort of power out of a D16?

Depend if you think it is worthy. Most would think not.

you would have difficulty getting 250hp from an NA b16...and the money you spend on a front cut + labour would cover a turbo kit and bottom end build for a d-series. otherwiese b18c ftmfw
