I hate to tell ya, but a b18c w/ intake and exhaust isnt anywhere near 200 whp and being fast isnt all about horsepower. The torque (180-200) that you will get out of the turbo is a hell of lot better than just swapping in a b series. Thats what will make it so freaken fun to drive.
I also love it when people say they have beaten boosted d's w/ ease, but i bet most of the time they have no idea what the setup is, what kind of tune, or how much power its making. I mean, you could go throw a greddy kit on and be boosted and only making like 140 whp (maybe less)
Not bashing the b series or anything because they are awesome motors, but there is nothing wrong w/ d series either. I mean, u can run 13s w/ about 200 whp in a civic, so its not that slow. I dont see why you say its goin to blow up either. As long as you have it tuned right, itll last. I know people who have been boosted for multiple years w/ no problems at all. And you will be faster than if you just dropped in a b series, which would then cost even more to boost or watever, and b series stuff tends to be a good bit more expensive than d series stuff. I mean, ok, u screw up and blow your d series motor, hmm, u can get another one for like $400. Try finding a b series for that price if you screw it up.
just thought id add my
