you could drop a D16Z6 head right on there and plug in a P28 ECU. Or, you could swap in a CRX Si Cam shaft, bolt ons, and some tuning and push about 120 whp

Or you could save up and just swap to a bigger motor. The Si motor only goes for 2500 these days. Of course that's usually without shipping or installation.

just build up your sohc. just do a mini me swap and a nice greddy kit and you should net some nice times and with all the money you saved by not getting a b series you can build the motor. just stay with the sohc the dohc cam is for the people that have the money. on a budget or just every day a sohc kicks ***

Thank you guys.. What about droping a turbo in it? Because all the money I will be expending buiding it up I problably could get like a T3 or something and push couple of PSI on it. I do not Know you now I am just asking because I heard that the Hondas run better all motor than with a turbo. Like for example I am originally from Puerto Rico and I have seen couple of street Hondas in street tires with what we call over there (The Frankeinstein) GSR Short Block and SI Head doing 13.8 at 200-210HP, But I also saw and CRX with an 1.5 L engine that he brought from Dominican Republic running 13.2 in street tire. What you guys think about that? Please give me some tips and recomendations. Bye

No good. Mini Me swaps still have 1.5 rods which will break with turbo. Cheapest way is a D16Z6 swap. Easy to find a full conversion for $700 w/ low miles. Then slap a GReddy kit on that. Just over $2500 out the door with a few extra parts and all labor. Not bad for a great motor w/ turbo.
