Default Fully Built D series or swap to B18a1 in CRX Si???

What would you think is a better choice. I mean i can fully built my D series engine or swap out for a B series engine in my CRX Si. What would be a better choice? I mean i can always fully built the LS motor later on?

Which D series engine? IMHO, unless you're going for over 400 hp a B series swap is a waste of money. It really depends on what you plan to do. If you're going for major power do the B swap, otherwise build a turbo D.

Your budget plays the best part in this one.

I've always been a fan of the B series motors.

---- it, just turbo whatever you got in there already.

i think u could put in an ls motor for real cheap, and turbo that for less then a built turbo D. i just picked up a complete b18a for 200 bucks. granted u would still needs mounts, linkage, tranny... it wouldn't be all the expensive if u kept an eye out for ----.

that was gonna be my plan till it turned into a headache. im now gonna turbo a d-series in another crx.
