Would I be crazy?
 

All this talk about D series. Sometimes I wish I had of built the ---- out of my d16y7 and put a y8 head on it and boosted it.

Would I be crazy to sell my b18b with probe forged pistons (8.7:1 cr), eagle h beams, vtec oil pump...etc and turbo kit and build the ---- out of a sohc vtec?

If I ever wreck this b18b again, i'll definately go d series again, but sometime I wonder if I should save myself the trouble and do it now.

ps: a prime example of a kick ass d series.. beerbongkicksass

D series ownes B series, and I think everyone knows this...

I think you're crazy. D --> B is being smart, B --> D is being cheap :P Unless you just want a good ole disposable D, I'd say stay with the B18.

uh...how could a less technicaly advanced engine with less power from factory, weaker rods and pistons be better than an engine with more power, 50% more power as a matter of fact, and stronger rods and pistons. the d series enthusiasm is cause there are more people with ds then with b series. if i had a d series, i wouldn't do a swap, i'd build it first. but i'd never go d series if i have a b installed already.

Re:Would I be crazy?
 

the reason why all of us D-series guys have D-series still is because we don't want to buy a B series initially (the $ spent on a B could be well spent on building the D, or boosting it, or sometimes both) however if you already have a B stick w/ it. I don't think any one of us D -series fanatics would turn down a B series if someone wanted to give it to us for free, we just wouldn't buy one.

stick w/ your B, sleeve it, go to 2.0L put a vtec head on it, and make us all look like little bitches.


BTW if you have forged internals (and decent fuel management), you are dumb to be running at 8psi on a 60trim T3, try 15 on for size. ;D

The money from the b series could build one hell of a d series and a kick ass turbo kit. Also, it seems like the d series can handle more boost than b series with stock sleeves (this is the part that impresses me most).

^ Just get new sleeves for your engine then :P

Re:Would I be crazy?
 

i have a d because i wanted to be different form everyone in my town who has h22s and b16s and ----. you already have a nice setup as it is. throw some more boost at it. then youll realize what your saying is stupid
