I want to swap something in my eg hatch this spring I just can't decide on what. My original plan was to boost my d16z6 and run that till it blew up. I've been looking at b16's, there cheap and they drop right in, maybe boost it in the summer and next winter build a b18b block for it and run ls vtec next season. Another option is buy a b18 block now and pick up a b16 head and tranny and get a ls vtec this year, but my budget between now and spring is limited and I don't want to half *** an lsvtec I don't want **** going wrong. My budget for engine between now and spring is around 2-3 grand give or take. My buddy has a shop and he said hed get me a b16 with a type r bottom end normal b16 head and lsd tranny installed for 2800-3000(canadian eh). So what I'm asking for is all of your expertism advice.
So here's my options:
- Boost my d16z6
- Buy a b16 run it n/a for this summer maybe boost it before years over and build a ls block for next season
- Piece together a Ls-Vtec now

I'm open to any other ideas and advice.( But I can't afford a h22 or k20)
Leave you .02, thanks in advance. - Ronnie
