    Thats a bold statement to make. So if i have an ls integra and i spend 2500 on it and you spend 2500 on your d series youll whoop me? no way because for 2500 i could have a cheap turbo b series peak boost kit and i doubt a d series will touch that. UNless you have a fully built bottom end and a hella turbo on a d series itll be hard to keeop up with a b16 swap. seen it firsthand very very hard and d series run out of potential way to quick.

    he means take a stock civic you both get to spend 2500 and thats it he would whipyou every time and i agree you spend your 2500 on a swap and get 140hp put 2500 in to a d-seris and make 250hp at least if you know what your doing and probaly with money left over.

    Ok buddy... Read a little harder... Its obvious that the info I posted was correct....

    Civic A:$ 2500... b16a... 160Hp 111Tq

    Civic B:$ 2500... Turbo, mini-me, etc... 200hp 200Tq

    Civic B will win everytime... Make sense to you now??

    Now... About D running out of potential... How much are you trying to put out?? 600HP??? Unless your trying to put out godly numbers... The little D series is way more than enough. 200WHP on stock internals not enough for you? 300+WHP on built internals not enough for you? Now.... If your an all motor type of guy... I would skip the B all together and go K..... Cus it'll take just as much money to get a B to put out that much HP all motor...
