bro just turbo ur D15B...it'll cost about the same as parts and labor for a swap

RE: acura swap
 

why do you guys like the d motors they are no fun go with a b18 then turbo that

RE: acura swap
 

^ yeah, because everybody has $4000 to throw down;)

but when you feel how much faster it is you will be happy

ok, but the point is cost...If u have a D15b now, then u put in a turbo, ur gonna be pretty quick and u only put in $1000. This kid isn't gonna have $4000 to make his car fly.

hahahaha damn these d vs b ****! it all comes down to what kind of power and what kinda of budget you have/want. my $400 hmt kit on my old d15b7 civic hatch ran circles around gsr swapped crx's......turbo the d till it blows up:D.......and to the origional poster.......get yoruself a cable b series transmission, flywheel and clutch kit along with the mount kit, axles and shift linkages.
