[QUOTE="bbka, post: 2139099, member: 570536"] Actually you have that backwards. B20's are worthless. Why you might ask? The mono sleeve design is completely different than the other b-series motors, so any hint of detonation and the sleeves will crack (N/A setups and forced induction setups). Some people get lucky and never have problems, but others including a few of my friends ended up with cracked sleeves. Tuning is everything, but in the case of the B20 it's a design flaw from the factory. Here is an article that will explain... [URL="http://dwolsten.tripod.com/articles/jan96a.html"]http://dwolsten.tripod.com/articles/jan96a.html[/URL] D-series motors on the other hand if tuned well can take 200whp no problem for years. My car (stock d16z6) for example has been boosted for over 2 1/2 years and put down 230whp at 12psi, so with proper tuning you will be perfectly fine. Oh and I beat my car hard! People have made over 300whp on stock d-series motors also, but I wouldn't reccomend that lol, just saying it has been done. B-series motors (B16 or B18) can take 300whp no problem with good tuning, so if you want a lot of power that would be a good platform to start with. For a little fun I'd defintely go with a custom turbo kit on your d-series, it's cheap and when tuned well with traction is a lot of fun. My best time was a 12.6 @ 107mph in a fully loaded 95 ex coupe on slicks, so they can be fast if done right. I'd suggest going with Crome for tuning. I am currently and have always used Uberdata, but nobody really uses or updates that anymore. Crome is much better. Your setup is looking pretty good though so far, just keep it simple.

I can also back up the specs on my car and everything I have said, so don't even think of calling BS, I'd rather not get into a engine/honda/turbo war on a car audio site that I just joined lol...
