Greddy turbo kit. You won't be able to get a CTR swap for 3k anyway.

Stock. I want a swap or a turbo set up. I would like to find a swap that allready has a turbo and have the best of both worlds.

well, i would tell you to fix that stuff first. but if you want power, you will have a very very very hard time finding a swap with a turbo for that price.

greddy or apexi turbo kit

buy a b16a2 swap from http://www.importautosalvage.com for $2500 shipped with everything needed to bolt it all in...

then, part out your engine, old harness, ecu on ebay and along with your extra $500 use it to get a T3 manifold, a T3 turbo, and a v-afc to start your turbo kit along by getting the big three out of the way....

or get a few big tittied hookers for the weekend

yeah i thaught that would be the case. I like the ITR engine but its goes for 45xx plus another 750 for install. THats too much. The reason why i was considering a swap is because my d16 has 110xxx miles. But i know that miles don't mean anything as long as the compression is good.

I can pass on the hookers. What do you think i could get for my d16y8 with an aem short ram and a dc sports 4-1 ceramic header. I also just had the timing belt changed/water pump and the valves adjusted.

you'd make more parting it out.

sell the head without the distributor but with the harness and ecu and you'll get about $300-350 for it on the bay...

toss the aem up for about $50-75

the dc header will bring about $75-125

pistons/rods will net probably $50

crank will get $100

block if you can ship freight...will be about $200

and the aluminum oil pan will be another $50

the distributor should get you about $100

or try to sell the engine whole locally for $500
