I agree with sexc. In regards to the cost of doing the b18 turbo it would be close to 10k give or take depending on who you know. I think you need to work out how much you want to spend, and whether or not your willing to part with.

One scenario is outlined above doing the b18 turbo convert = $10k

Second scenario is putting the 6k from the b18 motor into the d16; forging the internals, head studs, etc. Then re-tune of course.

Would you be happy with a car thats just a little bit faster than current (b18)? Or would you want to own a Honda that most other turbo cars can't touch (forge d16)?

Something to think about
