KEEP THE NEGATIVE STUFF OUT
just trying to get some positive input

okay i have a 92 ferio with a stock lx motor in in, the mielage is 218,xxx right now but runs healthy because the previous owners took good care of the car.

what im looking to do is a swap but nothing flashy just a lil more power than i got right now, ive had cars with v-tec and i would like this car to have that lil kick to it.

Could i do a mini me swap and switch out heads and replace ecu and wire up for v-tec or should i just do a full swap?

also if anyone knows how much roughly around the price range of the mini me or complete swap would be just post it up plz

you can get a single cam vtec for a couple hundred bucks...you'll see more power with the whole swap than the mini me

is the couple hundred bucks just for the motor only? any recommendations on a motor also? i was thinking about the d16y8 but then i would need to change out the ecu, wires for v-tec and iono if i could use the stock tranny i got.

i think its like 800 for a y8 with trans and ecu...i not 100 percent on that cause i never bought one but its gotta be in that area...you dont want to go b series?

well i was thinking about going b series but its more expensive and i figured that the SOHC v-tec would be cheaper.

but if i can get a good price on a b16 that would be okay
