hey i say go NA man, having turbo might pull more power and better times then a b16 would but why would you wanna run a D series with a turbo and stock internals? my mate is doing a turbo conversion now its not just a bolt on kit like you think it is plenty of things come into play such as when you get the turbo kit might cost you about 3 - 4 k then you have think about tuning 400 - 700 then does the kit come with an ecu thats like another 1k out the window and the car doesnt always run best based off one tune sometimes you need to go for another tune then you'll most likely need a new clutch if you have a standard clutch it aint gonna last to long cause believe me you'll be thrashing the car with the turbo in it you also have to get a turbotimer 100 - 200 boost controller 300 - 500 for a good one and boost gauges which will set u bak around 100 - 200 in the long run its gonnna end up costing you more then just a b16 swap and think about it think way why not turbo a b16? better results that way u get the best of boths worlds
yeah i have a friend who is doing a d16y8 turbo set up now so i got help with it and if i feel the need for more i might as well get my next car as a b series why avoid a lil extra work and shit .... more rewarding plus not many have a SOHC VTEC turbo ... so yeah id rather be different.... but yeah i am aware of the amount of money needed about 5-7 K....
On the other hand, if you go to a DOHC like a B16, or B18 they are reliable day in day out. No need for turbo time and cool downs. Drive it as is, thrash it and you dont have to think about something going POP
it doesnt matter what engine the turbo is on, it still has to be cooled down. although half the time turbo timing and cool downs arnt really necissary for oil and water cooled turbos. oil and water cooled turbos are designed for people who dont no how to look after a turbo car like older people who drive one and just turn the car off, turbo timing is mainly for oil cooled turbos like mine or for people who are just paranoid.
d series will be reliable as long as it is tuned right and is built to suit. and no im not talking internals, the internals will be fine until u hit around 250hp atw
like i told u, turbo it, for the price u would pay swapping ur engine u would have a mean reliable d.

why not? ps building a SOHC Vtec Turbo myself i think u have kinda over esagerated the budget. mine has around 8000$ under the hood and that included 1000$ in swapping from Y4 to Y8 and mine isnt a kit turbo, was based off an xs power but now has hondata, 550cc injectors, heavy duty clutch, motec map 3 bar sensor, different turbo, guages, turbo timer, short shifter, after market im gasket, hybrid 600x300x76 FMIC, 3" High flow exhuast, not to mention the alloy radiator with the kit. just so long as u research right and u can do the work urself ur fine.
dw mate if u go through with this u no im here to lend a hand like i said urs will be piss easier than mine cuase u dont have to swap engines like i did, urs is just straight bolt on pretty much
we arnt talking about a b18c we are talking about a b16, no way a basic b16 could get you into the 13s... if you wanted to spend the equal money on a dseries turbo as a b18c7 conversion it would be going faster then 13.6 imo
i also believe you can drive a turbo d just as you would drive a b16 provided you look after it and get a good tune
wat he said, the only way u would get times like that is if u stripped the mofo down to nothing and did mods to the B16 and i no for a fact chris wants to keep the whole interior.
yeah just looked at it youd swear i dont go to school aye .... dont think ill be getting my exhuast this week next week for sure though ... but yeah turbo D all the way

Fair enough but the b16 conversion that barefootbonzai is offering is only 4000 which is like abit over half the price of the turbo conversion, but if you want to go turbo its all up to you
