Hi and welcome...Nice car. If it's know "run of the mill" D16Y" then why don't you look at turboing your current engine instead of an engine conversion?

neither are any other honda engines..
yet people have built proven reliable setups for their cars..

if you want bang for buck, go for a turbo kit..
if not, don't do a b16.. atleast go for b18

Yes and there are many of them running around these days STOCK with a nice turbo setup and the owner's are very happy as you will make a safe 120-140kw at the wheels all day everyday with the correct setup.

i do not like turbos im into naturaly aspired cars. it cost more to turbo it then to do the conversion and the place im getting the conversion done at said its not worth putting a turbo onto a d16y and that i want to put turbo i should get a b16y and turbo it.

**Benson** · 02-04-2007 04:36 PM

how much is the conversion costing you? cant be that much cheaper than going turbo

**blabla** · 03-04-2007 01:27 PM

i have been really considering putting in a jdm b18c but i have been told to go for the b18c. Now this whole conversion is costing me 7600 aus this what i have been quoted. it includes f&r discs, pc motor radiator cv joints evrything can anyone tell me if this is a good deal. i got told by one of my mates that it was a very good price. WHAT DO U THINK?
