wtf is this business?
 

everybody I talk to local (including my dad who doesn't really like Hondas and some guys who have fast Hondas) say I should go B-series.

Everybody I have talked to on here says to stay with my D series and build it for turbo.

hit me with some discussion on this issue.

Re:wtf is this business?
 

D series motors are cheap to build and cheap to rebuild. They are also lighter than B series motors.

B series motors are a bit more expensive to build and rebuild. They have more potential and are stronger from the factory.

This is just a basic description to describe the difference as simple as possible without getting into bore/stroke ratios and sleeve designs. :P

If you have a pocket ful of money and want to build a crazy race Honda, buy a B series and follow the rest of the import world. ;) If you are on a budget, but still want a raced out Honda, buy a D series and build the ---- out of it with the money you saved and be original.

yep D series is for pepoel who dont wanna drop mad loot into the engine.

if you have lots of money go B for sure. but if your just doing it for kicks try out a D series, or build a D series to beat your friends B series lol.

;D

I don't have alot of money, but I've pretty much decided to get the B16A, I'll keep my D15B2 and if I blow the B I'll Si my D15B2 and build that.

thanks for the input

see....even the weakest B series motor (B18A1) is stronger than your strongest D series motor (ZC or D16Z6). i bought my complete swap for around 1300 including my mounts and shift linkage for a B18A1...but i just got good deals on the mounts (thanks BoostedBseries ;D) and a custom shiftlinkage. personally i would say get a B series and just slowly build it for awhile...keep it in ur garage and have fun with it like i did...i build mine for 6 months and im about to drop it in my car in a couple weeks. i dont have alot of money either but im getting there, and the motor is finished and i even put a LSD in my tranny too...nothing like spinning both tires...yes a D series can be fast but a B series can WHOOP some ASS. Personally if i were you, buy a B series and just use what you have now til you get what you want built.
