Tell him to turbo his D-series and eat a hatch with a B16 swap. YEAH BABY!h:

The new SOHC kit from Greddy can (per phone call with Greddy) put out 300hp. On a built and tuned D-series, he would come out cheaper with a lot more power. If he insists on the swap, throw a B18 in there and quit screwing around already.
