to B, or not to B? that is the question
 

i am about to assemble a vitara TT block and i have a very large turbo that i plan to mount on it. i would love to see between 400-450 whp, which i dont think will be all that difficult, since the turbo i have is capable of so much more. i am trying to decide to sleeve a z6 or go the B series route. there are so many 400whp single cams out there now that i feel that i will need to go bigger very soon. i have an LS that has been sitting in my garage for over a year but i cant bring myself to put it in my car. everyone and their brother does that. would a 500whp z6 be more amazing than a 600hp ls? no matter the direction, the next block will be sleeved, revving to the moon, and breaking axles quicker than noobs get flamed. if it was purely for myself, it would be a sleeved D, but a shop is in the works and i need to show my abilities. i have changed lots of things on my car due to this but i just dont know if i can let go of the little D. thanks for reading my bullshit rambling and hopefully some of you can give me some insight and help me in making the decision that i really want. cause in the end i have to be happy, its my car.

it dosent hurt to run a nice b every once in a while, sepecially if its just an ls. your good in my book as long as its not an h22, k series, or bsuxteen

Re: to B, or not to B? that is the question
 

honestly, i think a high horsepower, badass d would better show your skills. Like you were saying, everyone and their mother has a b-swap, and it will take more work and expertise to get impressive power out of the d than it will the b, so to showcase your sKiLlz and have a fun car, stick with the d. Then again, b builds give me boners, so to each his own I suppose? Agree to disagree?

Re: to B, or not to B? that is the question
 

how hard could it be to get as much power out of a d?

to get high horsepower out of any honda engine you still have to do a bit of work... except maybe f22 but... w/e

Re: to B, or not to B? that is the question
 

the H and K have never even crossed my mind. the b16 almost has cause of its high revving abilities, but its not hard to build an LS to rev to 9k so i might as well have mroe torque. maybe i need a shop car and my own personal car. that may be the only way to settle this within myself

not to bash you, but i think everyone else will think the same thing and that is what is making me consider the B.

Re: to B, or not to B? that is the question
 

I say stick with the D. nothing like a single slammer kicking out 500 ponies. Are you just gonna run a stock tranny or atleast toss in a LSD to get the most out of all that power?

Re: to B, or not to B? that is the question
 

it will get an LSD for sure, then see what breaks. any D2B kits out there yet? lol

Re: to B, or not to B? that is the question
 

I say stick with the D, but if you are starting a shop and you want to show your skills for the future...concentrate on a K setup...thats the future.
