Or dark grey, if you don't use the new color scheme. Which sucks, BTW.

I disagree, d series engines can be quick. For quite a bit less than a b16 swap I swapped a d16z6 and have a home made turbo kit waiting to go on. More than likely I will be quicker than the b16 swap on a d. So you do the math is it pointless?, should I not have done it?

ok but what if I slap that same turbo on my b16? well mine will make more power....the question wasnt about if a d16 could make power, it was about the d15...which is a peice of shit...if he is gonna swap it, I would do a b series swap and then turbo which will yeild you way more than any d series turbo combo

You are correct, but figure in b swap plus turbo costs, and you have spent a shit load more money than me with a good d swap and a turbo. Will you be faster, yes. Will you be more broke or in debt, yes. Just giving this guy viable options is all.

A swap is more work, but neither are very difficult.

not to mention the fact that d series engines only run a couple hundred, and B series can run a couple thousand thats a HUGE difference if you ask me.
