i will continue with my swap as planned. d16a aftermarket support is not worth it. b16a is what i'm after. a very rev happy engine.
beeza you say you haven't driven a b. i am all for turbo d's but get out and drive a b or get in a car with someone who has DOHC vtec. i have driven my brother's jdm h22a and i would get that engine anyday of the week over my d. you'll find out why there is such a big fan base for vtec. i haven't been in a sohc vtec tho so maybe that will be very similar tho it is only on the induction valves that have the longer duration lift during vtec engagement. the change of engine note to a strong roar as the revs build faster like a second wind not stopping till over 7500rpm. its funny cos its like where other cars power dies off your car pulls harder leaving others changing gear and you pulling away.
i am not saying get a b but to have a go driving a b before you pour your money into a turbo d. research heavily. make sure your not wasting that hard earned for what might be a more enjoyable ride for you. na means less cops attention too.
i love me d16a. it has a pretty fat torque band down low for daily but once revs climb over 5k rpm it does well. i would turbo it i just don't wanna deal with the headaches turbo's do to a +250 000km engine like mine plus the small aftermarket support. rather swap it out for a newer engine with less k's more aftermarket support and is a stong base to start off with.

Is this the end of my car modding days? Buying a house says so...

Yeah i've considered turbo'ing but the thing is my engine has done 200,000km so I reckon that's gonna be a bit of a problem. Has anyone here turbo'd a 200,000km D16Y1 engine?
