swap or worth the turbo?
i have a 95 dx coupe with SOHC non vtec (not sure the engine code sorry)
i want some more power but i read the "turboing a D series motor sticky" and i think i want some more power. so my question is should i keep my engine now and just go turbo or should i swap it out for something bigger and better?
and if you think i should go swap route then what engine should be used? thanks in advance

Check out Project Car Magazine this month then ask what you should do - if there isn't a BUTTLOAD of answers in that magazine this month for your question I don't think there is any answer we can give you. The only reason I reference that magazine is because they show a build up of a d16a6 single cam - ALL STOCK just boosted on 6 psi then 8 psi vs a b16. The results will have you smiling whichever way you wanna go with your build. Good luck and keep us posted.
