Just run a good solid turbo setup- it's more power for your money, and you'll smoke all the guys who spent $4000 on their B16 swaps and quit. Built well and watched over diligently, a turbo on your D16 will last a very long time.

But the tranny wont. A turbo LS will beat a turboed d16 or b16
Maybe not- but it's the D16 transmissions in the 92-95 that are really weak, not the 96-00... they're a bit stronger. I just read now though that he has a 96 hatch, which means no SOHC VTEC, which means he might not get that much out of a turbo setup. Either way, I really don't think you can do a B18 swap AND a turbo for $4000, unless you get all the parts really cheap and do all the labor yourself.[/quote]But the tranny wont.
