What it all comes down to is how deep your pockets are.

If you're well off enough to be able to fix anything if it breaks, then go turbo D. If money is a lil tight go with the reliability of the B16.

i hardly drive the civic, but of course i still want it to be reliable, which is why i gave the B a thought. but with a turbo i get so much more bang for the buck.

thanks for the input guys.

Agreed. If you do good mods to the B16 youll have just a few ponies short of a turbo D setup, but you can smash the throttle as much as you want without fear. If I was on a "budget" id go B16 for the long run. If you dont care what happens, slap that snail on.
