the ex weighs like 1000 lbs more than the si.

it has power everything where the si is all manual.

Get a GSR or a type R they're the highest hp figures... jdm motors are a rated a little hight but it's mostly becasue of higher octane in japan making it possible to run higher compression safely and advanced timing. Sometimes don't work out so well on pump gas here not tuned right.

I wouldn't bother building the d16 turbo... ya you could get respectable numbers and all but if you do the same work to a B series block you have more tranny options (lsd) and more head possibilities... as well as more available parts and in some cases cheaper parts.... Also you'd end up putting the same if not more money into a d series yielding lower end results..

If you have the money to start with a b series swap then definatly do that... if your poor build a d16...

other than doing something different (not so different anymore) and maybe saving like $-2k (if your spending money on rods and pistons and sleeving then you have the money to start off with the superior B series block) there are NO advantages to a d series build instead of a B series.
