well I have had many a car and about 4 honda's and 1 acura I realy love the Ds but also Im not looking to put out the 11s just a nice 14.0 but if I had the money and time to spend I would probibly go H but I dont so I wont and I must say as of this point I love my D16Z6 it has trated me well and may not be producing the numbers keiths car was but I am very happy with it and the avalibilaty of parts and info as well as swap parts from other honda/acura's but yes I know it is harder to put down the same HP as a B but what can I say Ds have been good to me

All I know is that my turbo and other engine mods are worth twice as much if not more than the engine itself. All I know is that for a daily driven car, it loves the extra 7 PSI and does a great job killing rice and rednecks. If I want to get crazy and turn up the boost on occasion, It's always been up to it in the past. No real problems yet. So, let's say I turn the boost up to hell one day and let the turbo realize it's full potential... I may bust a rod or whatever, but no problem.. D-series go all day for around $500 complete

lets face it, if youve got $$$, you go with the B series. We all know the limitations that the D series motors have (that is without sacrificing mucho reliability in the process). I used to research and compare built D series motors vs. B series and came to the conclusion that the amount of $$ put in + reliability sacrificed to make a D series compete wasnt worth it as opposed to starting out with a B series. Correct me if im wrong though, since i havent spent my weekends hanging out, working on cars with gearheads in a long time
