(PANGES
if u only want like a 30-40 hp gain, and u can afford a $3,000 turbo kit, u mite as well just swap your motor for a b18c cuz u got lik 125-127 hp rite now (correct me if i'm worng) so if you get a gsr motor it'll give u like a 40 hp gain and it costs about 3 g's for one and it's alot safer and more reliable.)
A lot safer, to swap in a B18c, I'm imagining nothing could ever go wrong with this motor, its indestructible!!!
I have this thing with dollar to horsepower ratio.
I have to ask, who can really justify spending say $3000.00 for say 40hp gain??? Then gain modest amounts of hp through purchasing bolt ons that include I/H/E creating say a well respected 30hp more for another $1000.00??? (considering you do the swap for $3k and other work yourself)
$3k / 40hp = $75.00 per 1 horsepower --------------------swap
$1k / 30hp = $33.00 per 1 horsepower --------------------bolt ons
Now your out $4,000.00 and gained 70hp @ $57.00 per 1 horsepower -----not really a deal if you think about it.
Then say what everyone says: add a turbo to your B18c and you got mad horsepower.
$3k / 100hp = $30.00 per 1 horsepower -----------------turbo kit for B18c
Now your out $7k and gained 170hp @ $41.00 per 1 horsepower -------still not a deal, but hey you spent $7,000.00 and now have 300 crank horsepower or 255 wheel horsepower.
========================================================================
Or keep your D/B series for example purposes I will use the D. Have 130chp or 105whp.
Spend $3,000.000 on a turbo kit and $1000.00 on an exhaust system, fuel pump, oil pump, water pump, fuel filter, new head bolts, and timing belt. (Considering you do the work yourself also)
Turbo kit gaining RELIABLE hp @ 205whp or an actual gain of 100hp
Exhaust bolt on gaining a respectable 10hp.
$3k / 100hp = $30.00 per 1 horsepower -------------turbo kit
$1k / 10hp = $100.00 per 1 horsepower -------------exhaust
Now your out $4k and gained 110hp @ $36.00 per 1 horsepower ------still no deal for $ to hp ratios. However, you spent $4,000.00 and now have 240chp or 210whp.
Now considering you are 80-100 # lighter with the D engine vs. the B engine this almost makes up for that 45whp that you don't gain saving you $3,000.00.
Or use that $3,000.00 to build your block and btm end and put a complete head job on giving you another 100hp. Making your $7,000.00 investment $33.00 per 1 horsepower still being reliable by adding a dual stage boost controller running 12psi daily and 18-20psi when you need it to kick the s**t out of that modestly modded B series for the same cost factor.
Could someone justify this to me!!!!!!!!

Then you get into the car down time which is a whole other story.
