Thanks Lost. I think I will go with the B16 because I plan on boosting it. How much psi could I run on it?Could I run 10 - 15 psi?

Also with the B16, what car and year would I use to buy parts?

Lame^

Compression test on the z6, if it checks out okay, boost it till it blows. Then swap out of necessity. Thats how real men roll

boost the D until it blows

then go for either the k20 or the b16

Dude, what? K20 or B16... that's like comparing a bottle rocket to a space shuttle...

I had this same question of whether to swap or turbo mine, i have a D16Y8 which from what i've heard are pretty solid? It has 43k original miles. thinking about a b18 with a b16 head. a buddy told me the b16 head has better flow and obviously higher compression. any comments?
