B swap!

[DanR]

I think the amount of benefit you get out of CHEAP bolt on engine mods to a D-series is not that high per dollar spent.

If you want the car to sound better just take the resonator box out, run a piece of heat poof pipe from the front bar to the bottom of the stock airbox, and just change the panel filter to something like a K&N. As I said before though this won't really do much for power but at least this will minimise heat soak from a poorly designed short RAM intake.

I think your money is better spent on improving the handling of the car with an upgraded pair of springs/shocks or coilovers, A light weight pair of rims and tyres to reduce rotational mass, and a lightweight flywheel and clutch combination.

If power is your sole aim then as above swap a B16a/B18c in

rather then a another B swap go K swap.

the B series although good does not measure up to the K series engine. its like starting behind the go line rather than at it.

True... I can't not agree with that considering my car has a K20z1 haha... I was just thinking of the cheaper options for more power

[Daveho1]

read through the build threads there are ALOT of people who seem to agree that although the K is awsome its not all that and besides the amount of added supporting mods needed to get the most out of the k is crazy when u start doing the maths, unless max power is your goal the b18c is an awsome powerplant and plenty of get up and go for the real world

[GU357]

nah, but if you want the most power possible no point starting at B then having to part it all just to go K.
But yeh B swap is your more economical.
