well i've got bout 3.5 k 2 play with. On my eg. i was wondering whether to drop a sohc 1.6l vtec engine in my eg n turbo it or go with the b16a? just gimme some feed back pros n cons on both etc. LOL i was gonna turbo my b16a in the long run, jus for the wank factor of saying VTEC TURBO~!~!~!

but if you get a dodgy d16 that is on its way out and turbo it your gonna have heaps more headaches

$3.5k is not enough for Sohc vtec+turbo.. unless u wanna get a shit turbo kit.. and labour is not free.. reali reliable turbo setup requires at least $5k... and also shit happens when u turbo a car.. need spare cash.. if u dun have at least $7k in total.. dun do it... you gonna lose sleep as ur car wil be stuck at home..

Jus get b16a for now.. instead power gain from 1.5non vtec.. den turbo it as ur christmas present.. den u fly..

some peeps are running 130kw+ atw with their turbo'd d-series..
a lot of peope underestimate a d series.. heh

29-04-2008, 12:24 PM
dude, and an engine swap is cheaper??
d series engines are dirrrrt cheap
b16 swap will set u back around 6 g's anyway! i got quoted like 3.5 grand for a b16 half cut. labour etc etc your looking at that final figure.

29-04-2008, 01:14 PM
lol... a turbo D series has more possibilities to go wrong and spend more $$ den having swapping a b16a which is straight forward..

B147ch.. go to some real honda engines sale ppl... 3.5 b16 half cut is crazy.. some ppl onli selling it for $2k+.. and 6k in total including labour.. come on.. u have been quoted a b18c jap spec price at least..

b16a swap with labour in eastern states can be done for $3.5-$4k.. i guess..

Ya think!!

I'm at 160wh at the fly for just under $4000 with my Turbo D on stock exhaust, with be 173wk at the fly with bigger…

Would been even cheaper if I did all my shit first and tuned all at once..

hmm perhaps i could bolt on a turbo whilst in installing the headers!! muahahaha

err no. You need a turbo manifold.

Just save your money and boost it. You will love it.
It will beat pretty much most NAs, and a B series does not have the torque or power of a boosted car.

turbo D need to get engineered to be legal. To much shit needs to get done to get a turbo D to be road legal.

Better with a b16a 1.6L, swaps can be had for around 3k-4k. A half decent turbo setup will set you back 4-5k.

B147ch
29-04-2008, 02:13 PM
hmmmz true..
i'm already in love with my NA SOHC VTEC, so you can imagine how id feel once its boosted! lol
may need to rebuild tho. engines clocked 140 but been fastidiously maintained.
what ya think?

he has a gli motor so he needs to swap to a d series 1st
that will set him back 1-1.5k
then he has 2 k left over for a turbo kit
ebay ftw turbo kit
i would doubt that this d series turbo will be quick as some of u are saying
better off saving your money mate so u will have a better budget

160hp at the fly is same as b16a at the fly.. so no issues on that.. so we prove that turbo D is as gd as b16a stock..

but for $4000 turbo.. u did most of the work urself? 4000 include tuning cost?

also.. for $7000 he nid to swap in D series SOHC vtec+labour.. put in a turbo+labour... i tink 7000 is a reasonable estimate.. in real world.. shit goes wrong.. maybe u are jus lucky..

Thats true... some ppl think its just so easy jus to whack on a turbo jus for that wank factor.. so much hidden cost involved.. dun do it till you have enough $$, in this case, this guy has $$3500!!!.. If going down turbo path will give him more headaches and he will have no extra $$ to solve it straightaway coz i assume he is a student...a straight B swap will give lesser problem while feeling a gd jump in power over 1.5 sohc no vtec.. Seriously, he can turbo the B series later on as well...

jdm b16a isnt even rare.. and u can easily find them for 2.5k .... imo thers no use boosting any standard motor cause it just dont last unless ur hittin the internals.

and this guy here onli has $3.5k to start with to do a swap for sohc vtec and turbo.. its proven that d series turbo is not a good choice for him.. b16a swap with 3.5k is more realistic.. unless his financials get better..

Yeah I kooked it lol

160kw at the fly is what I'm running on close to stock exhaust..

173kw at the fly with 2.5" exhaust

Thats far more power than even a heavily moded B16?

You gotta compare apples with apples, a heavily modified B16 will make that much power, but add a turbo + maybe even B18C = 500+ HP done by Top Secret Japan years ago.

lol lukezen's kit means he could potentially have it running at over 180kw at the fly.. given that he does 2.5 inch exhaust lol. i dunno about you, but thats some huuge balls to me. EK's dyno in with little mods HP@ wheels: 126.2 HP - 94.1 kw.
besides.. i'd be up for $3,600 just for the b16a half cut.

erm... 160kw at the flywheel equates to roughly 25% lost at wheels.. so u are looking at 120kw at the wheels... I think you are using a rather high reading dyno.. a heavy modded b16 can hit 120kw as well bro.. Jus real gd I/h/e IM,TB, Cams package, port polish ECU+ tuning.. etc..

Its wrong to say far more power a turbo D has over a heavy modded b16.. its just a trade off between bottom torque and top end..

i'd go a b16a for now, later on if you want to boost it, you'll have a very good platform to go from. if you go D series turbo for 3-4k, if you want more power, you will find you need to replace alot of parts (bigger or stronger)

also prob best to find another eg or other honda with a b16a already, saves alota hassle and sell your car.

u also cant calculate how much power is lost once it reaches the wheels..

you can sort of guage/estimate a certain % of drive train power lost and derive at an estimate of power at the wheels bro..

Since you're so knowledgeable could you explain why the jap spec makes more power?


Its like saying 118kw at flywheel for b16a is about 80kw atw..

^And by your estimate here my integra non vtec that made 80kw atw should be making about 118kw to the flywheel?Awesome!

Drivetrain loss is all dependant on the car. ALso don't forget you have Dyno differences also.

I beleive the Jap spec b16 was slightly higher compression than the AU version. I had a comparision table somewhere but i dunno where i misplced it

erm... 160kw at the flywheel equates to roughly 25% lost at wheels.. so u are looking at 120kw at the wheels... I think you are using a rather high reading dyno.. a heavy modded b16 can hit 120kw as well bro.. Jus real gd I/h/e IM,TB, Cams package, port polish ECU+ tuning.. etc..

Its wrong to say far more power a turbo D has over a heavy modded b16.. its just a trade off between bottom torque and top end..

and any dyno sheets to prove ur claim?

Here's the latest dyno sheet bro

Lol.. I didnt say i am so knowledgeable.. I jus know that jap spec b16a makes more power than Audm b16a.. Did i mention i noe alot?

Also, the estimate about a stock b16a makes is a rough guage proven by many ppl who dyno their car.. I have a friend stock b16a who said he dyno 82kw atw stock.. So i am jus stating an example..

Nobody gives a shit about how ur shithouse non vtec got 80kw atw after u spending $10k on it..

lol.. what bullshit have i posted? by saying jap spec b16a is faster than Audm b16a?

Is estimating a fact that a stock b16a makes about 80+kw at the wheels wrong?

If i am in the wrong i admit, but for u to lash out like a dick at me for just trying to help, thats not cool.. lol..

Example of a b16a civic dyno result with only an intake shows 92kw(124hp) atw.. So stock unmodded, b16a with a dyno should make mid-high 80kw atw.. What i say may not be 100% correct, its not bullshit at least..

I was joking b4 but my last post was serious.I've never driven a b-series engine but I love the d and a d Turbo would just be mad fun haven't driven one either but I was a member on d-series.org and for a year I read thier stories about the Turbo d.My d16y4 just loves to be wound out to the 6.5k rev limiter,increase the power and rev limiter = PHOOOOOOAARRRRR Yeh :)

Wouldn't there be a fair bit of lag on such a big turbo though? I would ultimately want the car to be very responsive and fun.Big high end power would be cool but I just wouldn't get to use it often and I would be tempted to use it where I shouldn't be...

If you P&P and 3 angle valve job etc etc on the head would that sacrifice low end power for top end?

d feel of vtec and the feel of vtec + turbo is 2 different things.
no doubt if i had the cash i would go b16+turbo but unfortunately im POOR.

Seems like ur on a tight budget, go for the boost.

or u could go for d b series + extra cash from whereever. You can then pay off the cash u borrowed over time and then boost your b series.

or u could have more fun with your d series and save up money for your b later on.

obviosly everyone on here has their own opinions. n personally at the end whoe opinion u going to follow? sum guy who thinks that d series r the best and u should boost it. or sum guy who hasa b and thinks that d-turbos are for try hards and wankers? If sum1 has a b, they gon think the b is better, cause if they thaught the d was better theyd get a d. and the chances of dat is pretty low.
where as sum1 wid a d, usually cant afford a b so they boost their d and go faster than the b.

thats what i did n im luving it.

so what do u wanna do? go faster than a b? or dun want "ppl" to think your a try hard n get a b and be slower than the d turbos, which u could have had? lol

i think the answer is obvious.

OR get a b and save up for sum boost. short term or long term? up2 u
