I would do a b18 or b20 with a b16 of gsr trans, it's a cheap setup that you can build up later and add vtec and or boost

Did you do anything to your bottom end? I heard the b20 bottom end is weak. Or not as strong as the b18 b16 bottom end.

I got the Gentex mirror all wired up and ready to go in, these things are cool and easy to find, most Lincolns had em, as well as a lot of Chrysler products, no flipping the mirror between night and day. The wires were too short to go up into the headliner, so I used some mil spec wires to extend them, as well as be small enough to fit in the wire guide. the plastic wire guide attaches to the windshield between the mirror mount and headliner, then the wires loop up over the headliner and into the console where they plug in. I need to . get all this wiring done now, as I'm not pulling this headliner again.

one power wire switched ignition, it comes on automatically at dusk, one ground, and one positive wire to the back up light circuit, the mirror goes light when you put it in reverse. when it gets dark and the mirror is switched to high or low, it automatically darkens, when it detects lights behind you it gets darker. the mirror will say gentex on the back and it should have a three pin plug. you need the mirror, and the plug and pigtail, also grab the plastic wire guide on the windshield, it makes the wires look neater. most 90's Lincolns will have these, they will also have an automatic light dimmer on a bunch of them, ignore it and it's extra wires, it comes off of the mirror. You need the mirror and pigtail. these fit a standard mirror shoe. you will need a very small hex key to remove the mirror.

@dmef9: the b20vtec is/was great in the sedan. all i had was intake, fpr and itr header. the car went 13.8 best time in my sedan. (the motor was dyno'd in my brothers crx making 191/157 on a complete ctr head) i have a b16 on it after that. on the streets of course i was using 2.5in piping from header back to a vibrant black stealth box with a 3' outlet. the piping was done at a local shop with me bringing in the muffler. generic resonator to silence the raspy noise and nothing is better than that.

the b20vtec went to my wagon and heres a video of it with my lsvtec.

edm rear fog. we get pulled over out here for it sometimes because its too bright. but it works in fog and **** when driving through hills or back roads through open roads. besides that, it doesnt benefit too much.

ef9 isnt a sedan. ef2 if you wanna call it. ef9 are hatches. ef2 are sedans ef8 are crx ee2 are wagons.

and yes that is my car and channel
