My goal is just a 13.99 in the qtr. mile. Not too high of a goal. Also, its a 99 HX 5spd. So keeping that in mind could I just keep my current motor in and turbo it and make that goal? Or would it be better for me to swap a B16 and go all motor and make my goal? Or would I have to turbo the B16 anyways to reach my goal?

So options to reach 13.99:

1. Keep D16 and turbo
2. Swap in B16 and go all motor
3. Swap in B16 and go Turbo

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Justin

what does the d16 motor run at the track as is? cause i am thinking b16 would be cake to break 14s, but im not so sure of the capabilities of the d16

no. with a d series turbo, u can make that. my friend was running 14.5, with 145whp on his stock d16 @ 9 psi. now he has a b18 turbo, 230whp, 10 psi, 13.8 @ 109mph

Hi the D16 can be a great motor to boost, of course the B series make smore power, but it would also cost you more to swap it and then turbo it then it would to keep what you got a boost it, by the way my current project is a D16Z6 I will keep yah posted if you want when i get it on the dyno next week, its a custom cobbled together turbo set up but the goal is around 300 whp on 93 octane with a daily driver street tune.

Sell your car, buy a camaro & save a few grand in the process.

Honestly though, I'd say neither. Go with a K20 (rsx-S engine and tranny) with simple camshaft, intake, exhaust and chip mods. Then put your car on a serious diet. Aim to subtract 300-400lbs from the curb weight. This should give you a 1/4 mi. time in the mid 13s.
