I don't like rubbing anyone's face in it but when you don't listen I kinda do.
I get what I did was dumb. I should of listened but i didn't..lol

low patience has never really benefited me in the past.

I will be tuning it but it want be till this weekend.

Will be putting my old throttle body back on and I'm gonna port and polish my intaake instead of getting another one.

YOu can't tune an automatic, at least not easily, so I don't know how you plan to do that.

Your call. Sell that S2 manifold and throttle body and try to recoup some money.

Save your money and do a 5speed swap and boost, or do a 5 speed swap and swap the motor.

there is a guy in town, owns a shop, james autumotive, longmont co, that has a b18c. Says the 2nd bearing spun. He's agot a guy who wants the ehad and I was thinking it could be a good starting point for me.

Whats a good price and what should I look for when I buy it. He has everything, block, head, manifolds, ecu,harness,etc,etc.

Or hold onto to it, save for a manual swap, get a chipped OBD1 ECU with a basemap for all those add-ons.

So keep the d, build the b and then swap the b with the d, but get a new ecu, chip it and put a baseman on the d?

I have learned from this. Boost or swap is the only way with a d.

No no no. Forget the D. If you're going to swap then sell all of that and just put it toward an LS because it's pretty cheap. Then later put a VTEC head on that.
