That is not a greddy kit, the auction may say it iis but it aint. Greddy does not offer a t3/t4 kit for the d series and on top of that the turbo in the pics is not even a greddy unit.

it says Greddy-S...meaning greddy style. its not a greddy kit. a good greddy kit will cost you between 1500 and 2000 unless you happen upon a really good deal like pete did.

b16 and b18 swaps are very overrated. I had my b18 swap a while ago (my last car) and it was just a pain in the ass.

AS far as a daily driver with reliability... if you can go with a turbo setup and not be tempted to push your boost to the max then definately go the turbo route. 6-7 psi will give you really good power gains (about 160-170whp) on a D-series and still be very reliable.

It is not worth it to swap in a sohc f series when there are plenty of dohc vtec f series and h series that will give so much better results for the money. I do not hate on any swap, if it is what you want and you have the means to do so then by all means more power to ya but I am here to give an objective point of veiw and that is what I do.
