And if you bought your car with a B series in it, for christs sake, work with it. We're not saying that you should swap out your Ls motor for a D series, we're saying if you have a civic/crx, you can get plenty of streetable horsepower from your D series. I'm building my first D series right now. I might want to build a B someday, but that would only be after I tap out a D series to the point where I would feel it's neccesary. Oh yeah, D series foe lizzife, nekkkka!!!!!

I think for most people it is budget. Not necesarily how rich you are, but how much of your money you are willing to put into your car. You could have a ton of money, but if you don't really care about your car enough to spend it on that, then you won't.

Don't forget to up grade your security when you get or have b's. I heard a guy not from around where i'm from but he lives in the burbs get his type r flat bed from his driveway, and no it wasn't the marshall. If i blow my engine w/ my hmt i have a second engine waiting in storage. And i got it for FREE. I could get d's like flys eat ----. Don't get me wrong b's are nice but to many people want them and to many guys to to little towns to steal them.

60-75 % of my money goes into upgrading my car...I'm a college student and I don't get a lot of money.
I can get ZC here for 100-200 a pop with tranny and everything.....no one wants the ZC's here and a B16 swap is $1500 and up. with that money I can make me a nice HMT kit and kill a B16 or I could get the B16 and have no money left to go faster.
Right now I'm getting my insurance money and I'll be building a ZC....going to boost 20 psi or more at the track. If I would get a B16 I would have enoug money for a half assed HMT turbokit and wouldn't even touch the HP of the build ZC.
