lookin to get max of like 230+ hp

 

No i was saying the boosted D will be faster than the N/A gsr for cheaper than the GSR swap.

 

Leave the d in there. Build and boost. You have the money for it if you spend it wisely. Hope you can hadle all that power when you get it

 

whats the max power you can get from a B18c w/o boost?

 

fully built N/A engines are soooo costly, N/A GSR fully built maybe 210-225whp and 5-6 grand later. A built B20vtec will give you like 10-15+ more tq then the same built GSR. Ya man just boost the D for 230whp thats no big deal there, wont cost that much. I just cant have a D series in my car, I love the look of 2 cam gears spinning

 

but will it stil be reliable?
my first decision or thought was to get a b18c gsr h.e.i and then later if i wanna boost it then i will.

but if my d series will be reliable ill keep it

 

Well any engine built right is going to be reliable so it all depends. Id get the GSR, its just a better base to work off of later on.

 

^2nd.

 

Just do a compression test on your d engine first, make sure it's healthy enough for boost. They can blow

 

ima just stick with the gsr lol my d series also has over 200k miles
