Woah woah woah people ease up, I realise i dont have much pull in this forum as i dont have that many posts but ill throw in my 2 cents anyways.
Cheapest way to go fast is D-series turbo, say what you want but if you dont want/need more than 300whp, d-series turbo will work on the cheap. Forged internals can be bought cheaper than it would be to swap a b-series in, by then you have a motor which is ready for practically any beating you can throw at it. 300whp in a civic is plenty and to be quite honest no one needs more than that, in the end it all depends on your power goals, but for power goals which are reasonable, go d-series turbo, save your self a ton of hassles and money more importantly. I wish after blowing up a built ls-vtec, and having to swap in a b16 that I had of just rebuilt my d15b7 with forged components slapped a turbo on, and i would have been thousands ahead and had alot more power. Now im stuck with a b16 which has pep but its not nearly enough, time for forced induction I would suppose anyone selling a JRSC kit ? haha

wtf happened in this thread...some useful information from the older guys but other then that geez. I've been on this forum for awhile..not a big contributor but I've been on here. Frankly all I can tell you is RESEARCH! I remember when Brutal and Celerity always used to tell me that and with a couple different cars, mechanical jobs and swaps all I can tell you is before you do anything research for a long time unless you are a genius. There's so many bumps and hiccups along the way that you can avoid by proper planning. My two cents? Personally a d series is affordable, cheap and cool to do because there is so many options. That being said so is there with a b series. Frankly it's what you want to do and invest in. Although possible H series swaps are a pain in the a**, there just not meant to be thats my opinion and mechanical experience.

Calm down chica....these boys know their shit. They are just trying to help! Show some respect and you will receive some respect. Until then, they will continue to tear you apart... but, you have already been told that in another thread.

The engine was built fine, I didnt run a timing cover, something got lodged inbetween the belt and the cam gears and voila 12.6 mm lift cams and itr pistons with a timing misshap does not mix.
