Well, see the thing is, you're like everyone else. You want a quick fix for what you got now, down the road you'll want more, and if u do get a B, you'd have to just get new stuff anyway like manifold, fuel system gadgets, piping, just think ahead and what would be more practical.

if i had a B, i'd skip turbo all together, and juss go all motor.

and yes, i do want a quick fix, because i don't make the money to buy the stuff i really want. making the best out of a shitty situation. it's an S, and i make very little money.

i would never buy a pre assembled kit. piecing a kit together is the way to go. u get toi haev everyuthing you want and its cheaper. people think its difficult to piece together a kit, it isnt. in short, you could build a turbo kit for less then a grand. its not gonna make huge power, but it will be a hell of alot faster then stock, so keep that in mind.

i built a turbo kit for my d-series, and its fun. right now im boosting 10 pounds and its deffinitely fun. but, i want more. i was gonna build the d with forged internals, but i know sooner or later i would hit a wall, so im gonna sell the turbo, manifold, injectors and hopefully the motor and transmission so i can get a b series and boost that. when i get more money, ill throw in tuner tioys rods, wiseco pistons, 1000cc injectors and probably TIG in a golden eagle block guard. if i get bored with that, i can always get a bigger turbo and have the block sleeeved and maybe even spray some nitrous.

with a d, it takes alot to make power, its fun and great if ur on a budget, but i dotn have to many responsibilities right now. college is payed for, and im commuting, so my money is divided amongst my car, gf, and any lil things here and there.

thew highest i have ever seen out of a d series was 574whp, which is absolutely insane, but it had to run alot of boost and had been sleeved. ive seen dynos of b series motors putting out 500+whp with just a block guard.

if your gonna go all motor, get somethign worth while, an all motor d is just retarded. peopel have built all motor h22's and with a stock bottom end run in thwe 11's, they just build the head and run some crazy intake setups.ITB's, big plenums, etc

wait to decide if you want to go all motor or boost first cause once you start your build its going to be built on whether you want to go n/a or not dont waste your money just save up and do an ls turbo if thats what you really want thats what i have in my ek and i love it i just got use to it and want to build mine up more

it's between that... and an all motor H22. i juss can't find a decent price for a full swap. otherwise, i'd already have thrown my b7 away

yes and no it will be enough for a little while but then you get to a dead end where you will just want to go up ... aka b series an endless oportunity of tuning ...but if your not worried about making huge numbers i've heard of alot of people that are pleased with a boosted d16 ... just a personal preference but then again ive heard of huge numbers with d16's just insane amounts of money...
