Bakeoff--- Thats exactly what I was thinking. What kind of compression would I need to have to get 300 horses?

300whp is my goal. I'm just trying to find the simplest, and CHEAPEST, way to get there.

I figure $1500 or so to beef the D16, 1500 for the turbo, and some tuning time $.

Motor swap: b18c1 for 3k, beefed up internals 1000, turbo 1500, and some tuning time.

Am I anywhere in the ballpark with those figures? If I do the math, the d16 should be cheaper, plus I'll have the "cool" factor of the stock motor(I'm going OEM/JDM style, so thats a plus for me)!
