hey there all..i've read through the forums..and didn't find much..i heard jeff say that the d16a6 turbo would be faster than a stock b18a...but..my friend already has a 91 crx si...and he wants to buy my b18a for 300 bux and i'll help him swap it in...since i'm basicaly one of the 3 guys that know how to swap motors in my town..anyway..it's gonna cost him over a grand to swap in the LS..so i figured..i'll teach him a lesson on the homemadeturbo set up...he would basicaly set his d16a6 up with a HF manifold,14b,2 1/4inc inter cooler pipes, 1g bov, starion or tyres intercooler, b&m fuel reg and gauge, boost controller, boost gauge,maybe auto dsm injectors,and an afc and set at about 6-7 psi...would that make him believe a turbo d16a6 would be better and faster than a stock b18a?..help me out...sorry so long...thanks!

 

I'd say do the turbo. A turbo D16a6 has the capability to stomp a B18a, as long as he does it right.

 

thanks..thats what i'm thinkin too!..

 

Agreed, if the D16a6 turbo was setup right, it would easily take the B18...

But remember, it wouldnt take much (in mods) for the B18 to whoop the a6 turbos ***.

 

have a 89 civ dx with si conversion along with cam, si camshaft, with t3/4 garret turbo running on stock 3 psi boost and can hang wiht my freinds ls vtec.....don't have intercooler, bov, ignition,, fuel and ecu manage ment....I really need clutch to get the hop on secon gear cuzz I cant full throttle the gas....so recomend u turboing....
