B16A.. is it worth it?
Is it worth it to swap a B16A? The B18c is only 500 more and my EX has almost just as much torque as the b16 anyway so it doesnt seem like the B16 is that much better. I'm not trying to start any problems or say its not a good engine im just thinking about getting a swap this summer and want to know what people have to say. What kind of times could i expect with a b16 with just bolt ons in a 95 EX?

I just want to be in the low low 14's with only a swap and i/h/e.. I didnt think a B16 could power a car to be that quick in the 1/4 without gutting

well im running mid-high 14's right now with i/e/h and itr cams/valvetrain. trust me, 500 more for a b18c1 is not a lot when it takes about 1000 to be just as fast as a b18c1 stock. go b18c1, if you dont have the funds yet, wait and save your money

Re: B16A.. is it worth it? (Spoon Hybrid)
is it really a good idea to turbo a sohc with 125,000 miles? wouldnt i need to build then engine and on top of the turbo spend more money than a swap?
