are D's stronger then B's

[Civic_D16Y5]

for turboing, which can handle more boost while they are stock, the d series engines or the b's?

[NerveAgent]

isn't the b18c best for turboing?!
i think that engine has the most potential. for turboing. im not sure.
but are you talking about stock?!

[Beastiek2]

What would you rather turbo a SOHC or a DOHC? Easy answer.

[Ace$nyper]

B motors are stronger granted niether are that boost friendly.

[b18ls]

B18a/b is very boost friendly on stock internals. If you can choose, I'd go with the B-series.

[Civic_D16Y5]

well yes b's are better to turbo for power, but i mean like which can take more boost on stock internals, like will a b blow up on 9, while a d will hold strong

[lkailburn]

don't think of it in terms of pounds, because different turbos will push different power at the same pound.
b's have thicker rods and stronger pistons than a d. general census says that on a good tune, a d will hold 200whp daily. but ther are counts of ppl hitting 250's and even a little higher. how long they lasted at that im not sure but to play it safe DON"T push over 200whp on your stock d internals.

i think for a b-series with stock internals it will comfortably hold 250whp.

if you already have a d, just boost it. boost alone will allow you to RAPE any b-swap with i/h/e and will cost you less than half as much.

not always true I've first hand watch boosted Ds lose to STOCK 99-00SI at the track and seen it on the street.

Kid was probbly a crappy driver but he had dyno sheets showing 150WHP thats only 10 more HP then a stock b16 will put to the ground i'm sure he had bunch more foot lbs but the B has alot better gearing to help it also.

[honda_luvr_2000]

yes, gearing has a LOT to do w/ how quick u r

[lkailburn]

what turbo setup was he running?

i tottally agree with the fact that the tranny is important. kid was prolly not too good of a driver aswell. a boosted d shouldn't have too too much trouble beating an si and for only half the cost. damn i love saving money

if i could, i would swap, but being a college student, money is ALWAYS an issue, so im doing what i can....this actually:

when its all said and done..should prove to be quite a bit of fun

It was a greddy prefab so not thee best bang for the buck either could have done a swap or prefab and forging.

[lkailburn]

tru tru. when i say it costs less than half as much as a bswap im talking about putting together your own setup

yup can make nice kit pretty cheap the one i set up for my D15 cost me around 70 total lol. Never got done cause i didn't want blow my motor with its ass DPI system I wanted my B16 too

[DirtyD777]

hey ace still got that turbo setup by anychance? I'de be interested in buying it off you if so.
