Default IS A JDM D15 SOHC VTEC SWAP IN A HATCH WORTH A DAMN???!!!!!

LOOKING HERE TO GET A D15 SOHC VTEC AND I KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEM. ITS A JDM SPEC D15B - SAYS 130 HP 110 LBS OF TORQUE. JUST CURIOUS THE MOTOR FULL SWAP (NOT LABOR) IS LOOKING AT 850 SHIPPED. GOOD DEAL?? I HAVENT DEALT WITH ONE OF THESE MOTORS BEFORE. IF THATS A GOOD PRICE IF WE THROW A 35/50 SHOT, BOLT ONS AND MAYBE A SC OR TURBO IS IT ALL WORTH SPENDING $2000 OR MORE ALL THAT THEN PUT IT IN OR NOT. WE ARE TRYING TO STAY WITH THE WHOLE JDM THEME AND SEEMS TO BE A COOL AND DIFFERENT WAY TO GO. NOT A LOT OF THESE I HAVE SEEN BUT AGAIN WONDERING IF ITS WORTH A DAMN TO DO THAT OR NOT - B16 IS $2000 ALONE FOR THE JDM SPEC PLUS THEN YOU HAVE TO DO THOSE MODS ON TOP THAT PRICE. THANKS A TON FOR THE HELP

Wow Caps owns you fool.

You could FI any motor, how long it last depends on how well you BUILD it. Now that should tell you what to do.

in my opinion, no! but its up to u. i'm buying an ls block and head for $100 and that leaves alot of money for tranny and other stuff.
