Drop in Turbo on a d16 (2000 HB) or b16 swap??

[wilseansonCAI]

I was just curious on which would be the best thing to do. I want to upgrade
but i do not want to go full out on this car.. yet. just something to kick around on.
Thanks,
Sean

. but i would do a b16 swap , more reliable in my opinion.

^ Werd! ... Swap a B16 and Turbo it! ...

If its one or the other, I'd personally Swap a B16 in there ... Get rid of that D16Y7 ...

boost ftw.

Either or. It just depends. There is no correct answer. Probably see a little more horsepower with turbo and a bit better gas mileage if you keep your foot of the gas but b16 is a much better platform to build from. I say if you think you will end up sinking a bunch of time and money in your car go b series because you will be able to do more with it overall but if you just want more horse power and don't plan to do a bunch of mods go with the turbo.

i would do a turbo d over just swapping in a b16

 

[bizoneoeh]

boost the D 'till it blows then swap

boost the D 'till it blows then smack yourself for not swapping first cuz now youve got a turbo kit and no motor or money

fixed your typo biz. i got your back

 

[bizoneoeh]

fixed your typo biz. i got your back

but I'm still waiting for mine to blow and it's been over 4yrs now and I had money for a swap the whole time!

I say boosting would be fun but in the long run, id say b16

 

[bizoneoeh]

still going......

Oh, I almost forgot! I do have a b16 in the garage collecting dust waiting for my turbo D to blow.
