Default D series turbo vs. B series Swap

I'm sure this question has been answered many times, but i need it clarriffied once and for all. I have a 97 DX it is slower than my grampa without viagra.
a) my plan right now is to swap in a B16a2, hondata EMS, 3 inch downpipe and exhaust, new injectors and fuel pump, intake and a 50 shot nitrous and the guys at auto addiction said they could tune the shit outa it and itd be nice and fast.

But I'm not gonna have enough cash for turbo cus i gots to start saving for college.

b) so would rebuilding the D series engine, high compression pistons, full turbo with intercooler, new injectors and fuel pump, EMS, and exhaust be a better rout?

I'm leaning toward the swap just because it has more potential so if i ever did get the cash to turbo it itd be even faster, but I have seen some guys running over 300hp out of the little D series. So I'm very interested. Please leave any feedback, response, or guidance, its all appreciated.

Uhh i duno but ur car is fugly...the wheels are :ghey: the tails are :ghey: the whole look is :ghey:

Turboing a D-series is getting mroe and more popular, but you're right, swapping will give you lots more potential than a D-series...

If you plan to turbo it later, how come your current plan is to have a 3" downpipe? :thinking:

I like your altezzas :goodjob:
