If you're on a tighter budget a boosted D is a better option. Think of the cost, how much will a B16 cost to buy? How much will it cost for the conversion including installing? At the end of the day, like i say if you want to go NA then go B series but if you feel it's not worth the hassle then stay with the D and boost it. D can be boosted without requiring any internal work anyway.

Funnily, i use to sneeze at D series. I have a JDM 98 spec ITR with mild tune pulling high 13s and also an 01 S2K. The funny thing is my close friend's D15 Turbo keeps up with me on the straight once his turbo is done. Specs are basic. Home made exhaust manifold with T3/T4 turbo, Hondata ECU, Evolution injectors, exhaust etc. His car runs consistent 14.0 on street tires on drags. With semi slicks, he's as quick ITR.

Good point! And also, if you turbo your D you can get yourself some Suzuki Vitara pistons and a Vitara Kit = pawnage.
