H22!! Do a lot of research on hybrids(swapping motors into cars), then make your decision wisely, young grasshopper.

First off Welcome.

This is a huge question. What do you want from the motor? Are you gonna drag it, autox it, daily driver?

I went with a b18c itr motor. lots of power and a great base to do more later. I have buds that went the turbo route with b18b motors.

Its easy to drop 5 grand or more on a motor so just do lots of research, I probably put in over 100 hours in research before making my purchase and I had a turbo set-up just sitting in my office waiting to go in but went with the all motor route.

Once you get a few opinions do some searching (its a great search engine) and figure it out from there.

Good Luck

my "opinion" is b16a2= $2500 complete change over, then boost that bitch from $1200 to $3000......but thats just my choice...money left over buy a hooker

In addition are you gonna do the swap? If so do a check on your experience and figure out how much you can handle.

Most swaps are cake but others require a bit more skill, not loads of skill but you definently have to have some commen sense about you.

The car will be daily driven and I will have to get someone to do the swap.
