I'm confused. Why did you type that all out like it was the longest title of a book or something?

As for the motors... I'd go LS/VTEC + boost... but thats me.

Why go through all the trouble of taking the swap out and building an ls/vtec turbo when u have a great engine already in the car? Ur gonna end up spending more money just on the ls/vtec alone.

If I have a decent engine like that in my car, I would allocate my funding onto other things. I am doing that already, even with a SOHC. But you might have upgraded other components on your car. Maybe?

If not, you can focus on those aspects. But in general, I vote for keeping the H

let me revise my previous statement.

If I already had the H in there, I wouldnt be looking for another engine. But if my engine bay was empty, I'd go for the b18b.

i assume that you didn't put the H in right? well if you want to back to a B, you might have to re-weld some mounts back in as well as close up the hole for the shifter cables. might as well boost the H.

keep the H, I have an obsession with LS's, but since you have the H in there already just get it running good, then work from there.

thanks for your advice...and yes i did put the motor in my car but the only reason i think about selling it is because i heard people say that the h doesnt pull like its suppose to..and right now we are having lots of trouble with the motor...
