any d-series engine is not worth turbocharging. they weren't really meant for power. like that guy that said he turbocharged his d16, and at 8 psi or something, he was running 190 whp. that's not that good for a turbocharged engine.

Contrary to what 99% of people say on here, a VTEC head is an excellent choice for a turbo car. Yes, the secondary lobes on vtec cams do have a lot more duration and lift than those in an LS head, but they work just fine with turbo. Think about it, if overlap was such a huge issue with the "massive" vtec cams, your naturally aspirated low-ish compression motors like 10:1 GSR's, 10.2:1 B16's, and 10.6:1 ITR's would have problems with a big drop in power when vtec kicks in, because it would be bleeding off all the cylinder pressure. If you can afford a vtec head and take the time to do the conversion properly, the motor will make a lot more power.
