Hi guys, I just registered here. This seems like a really good tech-rich site, so I hope to learn a lot, as well as share what little info I have acquired.

I have a 2000 Si. When I bought the car, there was no motor, trans, computer or interior in the car (it was a theft recovery). I thought I go with somthing different since a good friend of mine had a wrecked Ex. I bought his car, running, and am putting the motor, trans and computer into the Si. (Sacriledge, I know, but...) I know the motor has to be lighter, since it is a SOHC motor, but I know it is way down on power compared to the B16.

(I know it seems backwards to go that way, but I bought the car running perfectly for $1500, so it seemed too cheap to pass up.)

What would be the best way to make up for the power lost?

Also, please bear in mind, I am a total Noob when it comes to sport compacts, i.e. I don't know the difference in the D16's (Y,Z,A, etc) but I am learning more every day.

I just really need some suggestions to get this thing back up to and beyond the power it had from the factory.

Thanks in advance!

enjoy it like it is and save up for a b18c swap in the meantime. If you find a good deal, you can get a type R motor for around 4000 bucks and youll have an Si with a 195hp power plant for around 6000
