NA on a D is VERY VERY expensive. id hate to see such a nicely built D not see any FI lol.
you are correct in your analysis of boosting a D vs. swapping. but 5psi hitting 200whp is ehh idk.. that must be a really huge turbo that starts spooling at like 5.5k
however on another note, im just about done collecting parts for my D and im shooting for just under 200whp spending just under 2grand when its all said and done.
mid 14's is very doable on a cheap budget D. but if you want lower like mid 13's your gonna have to start doing some decent engine work to prep it for those times... unless you have an insanely light chassis and slicks lol
idk, i would have to say keep the D. rock the underdog. i mean my buddy just spent 4grand to have a 2000 b16a2 installed in his civic.. 4grand!!! and in a few weeks i will DESTROY his car without mercy with a measly 2 grand.
