What is the better option.....?

[waypastfast]

i currently own a 1992 civic si and i am looking at doing an engine swap. I have two options 1) put the standard B16a JDM into it or 2)D15B VTEC JDM with a turbo kit. which will produce the best HP rating and value?? THanks!

I'd have to go with the B16.
Or you could just go with the D15 turbo...

But I think the car would rather have the B16 too.

B series all the way.

id definetley get the b16. It might not be quite as quick, but it will last alot longer. and if you put on i/h/e you'll be jus tas fast.

The d15b turbo will have about the same whp as the b16 but alot more torque. my friend has one w/dsm turbo 8psi boost and he can beat stock gsr's all day. he cant kill um but he would win by around atleast a good 2 cars in 1/4

A turbo D15B would rape the hell out of an N/A B16A.

You always see b16 in a EG I would go for the d15b Turbo IMO

turbo'd my friend is gonna be faster if tuned correctly, but if you have extreme goals later on, such as 300+whp, the b16 is gonna be the best route at this point in time
