I love my D series motors, but they don't have the potential of a B. I've recently came to this realization.

He better go LS Vtec, B18b heads flow like turd. A ported D16a6 or B7 head will flow great. Since this swap is so cheap you should go B, but if it wasn't, D is where its at.

The way I see it is, if you have money to spend go B. If you are poor or responsible for a mortgage and car payments,and a baby on the way, like me, stay D.

So you know...LS motors are cheap as hell. I can get one installed for $500. Thats nothing for a B series.

Defintely go B over D. way more potential in B series.

If your poor like me go D.
If you medium poor then get B, LS.
If your not feeling poor at all then go B, VTEC.

Re:Stay D or go B?

That k24 TSX motor has a electronic throttle control and would be a PITA. Just get a b and gimme the d! I love my d series engine and I'm stockpiling em in my garage and have 3 sohc's sitting in my garage right now with different plans for each one.
