yes its worth it

 

im doing a vitara build on my Z6 right now.. pay for my dyno tune and i'll let you know if its worth it

 

get a B if you can afford it ive owned both a turbo d and a turbo b and would much rather have the B series ya a turbo D is way fun but if you have the money B series then build off of that you would probably be much happier also less maintanice if all you want is a low horsepower reliable ride leave it na ........

please feel free to flame away and let me know how the d series is total ownage over the b

 

boost the d and learn from it. my original goal was to boost the d16y7 for a bit and blow it and learn from my mistakes.

that was over 3 years ago and it still makes over 200whp/200wtq. i was going to drop a stock b-series after i blew it up, but it hasn't happened. now i'm building another y7 because it's so much cheaper. i'll have a built y7 installed for less than i could've bought a b-series swap not installed and it'll make way more hp/tq.

it's in the setup, tune, maintenance, and common sense/listening to your engine.

oh yeah...my y7 has over 115k miles on it now. i boosted it at 62.5k.

 

turbo the d.
it's cheap, easy, and the knowledge is priceless.
if you get a decent size turbo, you can use everything minus the manifold for a B-series later on.

 

I decided a few days ago that I'm just going to do it.I'm just going to take my time and put together a kit and get a really good tune.If the motor blows,then I can get another d for a few hundred bucks.I will also get to learn and see if I'm able to maintain a turbo car.This is not a project car,just a daily...If I am able to handle and maintain a turbo car,then I'm going to build my b series motor for boost.If I can't handle it,then I will build for all motor.Regardless of its its worth it or not,I'm going to do it,unless I come across a low mileage LS swap for the same price.Thanks everyone for your 2 cents,I really appriciate it.

 

b16s swap=trendy 20 year old kid who thinks jdm is like tiite yo. Also admires Katman and jacks off to super street intake installs

 

Jacking off to Katman is disgusting.

 

quilty

 

all you need is a good tune for reliablity. tunning is everything when you run boost.
i bet you could even get some tt rods, bearings, pistons, headstuds and still break even over getting a b16 or b18
