Not simple as that. Try this for example.
Car already has D16Y8 engine in it.
B16 Swap= Avg price of $2500
Alternate route:
Used Zex nitrous kit $300
Walbro 255lph $80
Run a 75 shot and I guarantee it will make 75wtq and 30whp more than the B16 you would've paid $2500 for. You can keep going round and round with this argument, but since you are already out the money for the swap it will be more expensive than modding your SOHC.
