Re: Swap or build
Bolt-ons will not do much for a D-series so it's either forced induction or swap to a B-series.

Alright so basically I’m currently just trying to get to about 200-250 horses I’ll be putting a turbo on either way I go obviously a b series I won’t have to do as much to make that power but which way would be cheaper because that’s also a big factor

Re: Swap or build
I say cheap but obviously dealing with any of this isn’t cheap but I guess better worded is less expensive

Re: Swap or build
Turbo charging a D series would probably be less expensive then swapping in a B and then adding a turbo to that. Now you could swap in a K series and get 200hp naturally aspirated.

Lots of info on the internet about building a turbo D series. People have been doing it for a very long time.
