I'm STILL trying to work this one out!!!! after 6+ months of thinking, I finally came round to going turbo d when a friend said to me

"200bhp B series engine will be fast, but to get that power you will have to screw the sh*t out of it, also there is not a lot of torque so hill climing is difficult. Turbo however will have hp and torque, and it's the torque that'll get you going fast."

He is of course refering to highend hp vs low end torque.

Now i've got to decide on fwd Turbo D or a rwd 200SX, 'line GTS, or maybe a awd GTFour, GTO or other turbo'd from factory.

remember, fast cheap reliable. pick two and u wont have one of them. even a all motor needs to be built in a extent. think about it. u might not make 200whp with i/h/e. plus y waste money on ctr cam and pistons? just buy aftermarket cuz they will mostly likely perform better imo. and while u got the motor apart just put some rods in there to be on the safe side. but again i think u will want to go turbo if u go the all motor bseries route cuz with 4k. i guarantee u a turbo D will spank that all motor all day long. lol depending on driver and turbo of course. just a stock D with a good turbo will keep up and beat a all motor bseries only at 200whp.then after that. a build D will own 200whp Bseries all motor all day. Think long term. will u really get into the car? if so then go turbo D or turbo B and build the motor. if not then go for the swap and all motor with minor mods to get 200whp. but again if u want long term u will get tired of 200whp and not much room to keep it streetable and reliable. u might be redlining when u want to go to 7eleven lol i have seen it myself and its sad.

turbo d = roughly $1500 high side
b swap = roughly $3000

b costs more.... turbo d cheaper
turbo d faster than b swap

bragging rights when your d beats the retard ricers b swapped car

sounds like turboing the d is the smart thing to do

i agree, go with turbo D, B16 isnt talked up to what it sounds like it is, nevertheless its still a decent motor though, save up a bit more and maybe go turbo B16 =)
