It all depends on what you're building the car for... Example: I have a street driven car... It will see track time... I have a limited budget.... Therefore, D series motors are easy and cheap to build and parts are EVERYWHERE for them... I'm only lookin for 300hp b/c I want to set my car up for twisties... I'm not lookin for some track monster I can't enjoy on a day to day basis... But yet again, thats just my style of car building... I build clean and conservative project cars/trucks...
B-series is the only way.....cost efficient and reliable. Mini-me's are pointless unless adding a turbo kit and D turbos are expensive if done right and cheap if done wrong... but wont last long making it UNreliable. Your call....
Actually, if you know what you are doing and hunt for the good prices you can still get a cheap and reliable setup. I did my z6 for alot cheaper than most and still had it running as good as stock for more than a year.

well i guess your right on the easy part!; cuz if u do have the motor already in the car and in healthy condition slaping on a cosmetic gasket and turbo sounds the easiest, but then again if the motor isn't built the relaibility will never be there!! but I still say swaping her would be the best,keep in mind the value does go up, this is the reason we buy hondas!! can i get an amen aaaaaaaamennnnn!!lol!!!
