yea, i suppose. also i'd like to take the car to college in a year so it would be good to have an engine with less wear. i can also always turbo the b16 in the future, which would be more expensive to do than the d16, but a hell of alot nicer. i just wish i could boost sooner  . anyone else have opinions?

i think that if u turbo the D16 u will b fine for a while...but then after a year or two u will want more then realize the D16 has very little aftermarket, and be beating yourself over the head like 'why didnt i get the damn engine?!'. on the other side of it... say you get the B16. ur gunna notice the power difference, but it wont b as much as turboing ur D16, and again u will want more after a while. fortunately this time you will be very happy that you got the B16 because it has a (practically) infinate aftermarket (in comparison).
i guess what im sayin is...in the long run u'll b happier gettin the b16

I would have to suggest skipping the bolt ons and tossing in a gs-r instead of the b16. Youll get more power and way more potential then the b16 or the turbo single slammer

Mossy i would boost it............it would cost u say 2,000 to boost it........and u can some of the other money to give the motor some more strength...........say u swap a b16 and did I/H/E and some other crap........i bet the D16 boosted would be faster. If ur engine has 125 on it but u take care of it.......it should last........just do a leakdown and compression test on it and see how it is doing.............i vote for boost.
