What is the better option.....?
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!

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

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
