D or B series? Which do you prefer?
Alright, I know there are some strongly oppinionated people on here regarding single or double cam motors. Obviously if you're driving a civic, the D will stay in for a lot of you, but how many of you run, plan on running, or would prefer a B series motor.
As for me, I'm still running my D16Z6, but I just picked up an LS short block so that I can build an LSVTEC for my summer project. If you're able to run a B series, I don't see any reason to try and build the D (other than that parts are dirt cheap)
Whaddaya guys think?

id say ls/vtec. it just has more potential to go faster. without having to spend lots of money to make it go fast. but u pay a lot more if u blow of a b series. but if i had the money id have a built ls.

B series motors can go real fast for real cheap
D series motors are cheap and abundent. If you blow one up, you can get another for $10. There really is no advantage to a D-series, I think they're worthless

Re:D or B series? Which do you prefer?
The price difference between the two are not that much different. Rods and pistons are the same between the two and thats the most important part of a turbo car. Yeah head work might be slightly more on a B series cause you have to buy one more cam but the B series head will flow a shitload more. As for Quaife's they're pretty much the same price between the two.
I think the main advantage for the D is so that people can say they're single cam is faster than a dual cam. Its always fun to be the underdog.
