"Why should I swap my D series out?"

your making a bunch of assumptions, like why do you assume you have to go to a low compression with a dseries motor? why do you assume boost wont come on until 4800? why do you assume one engine is "working harder" than another? why do you assume that if you turbocharge a dseries engine its not streetable?

and i did bring up reliability in my first post.

also if 2 civics are at the track making exactly 300hp(one a d other a b); ones gonna have money left over in thier over all budget(they gotta be the same right?) for about 3 grand worth of suspension/tires/drivetrain/valvetrain/nitrous/resleeving etc, not all them obviously.

The d series will have to have a low comp bigger laggier turbo setup to make the same power as a B with a normal sized quick spooling turbo.

Thats why - yes the D would be cheeper to make, but, its quality before quantity.

Like i said earlier - i'd rather have a nice car with a lil more money into it than a gutted car with no interior and a D just to save some money.
