Default b16a2 plans???

so should i stick wit my b16??? go turbo? go all motor with it? or just swap the whole thing? im a daily driver.

i guess im looking for plenty of power off the line, and yet can still hang on the freeway.

define upgrade. upgrade to a full swap?? turbo what you have??

all motor is a **** to do, expensive and tedious to get much more power than a turbo alone can do to it

if you have money, swap a K. If you want more torque, swap in a 1.8L block and build the head. or you could boost the b16 if you like that sort of thing.

just turbo the b16 i'd say, K series are way too much at this point and time. Hopefully they will go down in price in a few years cause I'm not paying close to 7 grand for a Stock K20A....

I have a B16a3. Probably boost it when I get the cash and get an AEM ems and play around with it. It'd be a good idea and boost is fun.

just do regular bolt-ons for now, untill you learn a little bit more about your car. I would stay away from boost on a daily driver if you are still new to the scene.

Goodluck

Just do lots of research from reputable sources. You should also post this in F/I. I have a B16A with the Greddy TD05-18G kit. I have it set at 7psi and it is fun.

These posts are pointless
Your best bet is to make a list of goals that you want to accomplish with your car and go from there. Such as how much power you want to accoplish handling and the sky is the limit,
