Should i save up for a motor swap or work on my b16 a little bit ??
Got a 00 civic Si and I'm currently saving up to do things to my b16. Not sure if I should save up to buy parts for it (eg. Clutch, intake mani, TB, fuel rail, fuel reg, header, etcetera) or save up for a motor swap like a b18c type r or a k20-k24. Not really sure what I should do. Your input would be appreciated,
Thx.
Thx.

If you have a stock si I would def stick with the b16. IMO there is no reason at all to swap a b18 in there. K20/24 I can see if you want to spend the money. But the money you would put into swap a k-series you could build a killer b16 especially since you already have one in there stock.

U got it boss. Now with that being said that will give the engine more mileage and run longer considering that ur rebuilding it with new and better parts correct, rather than the oem parts which probably have been beaten to shyt?

Blox intake manifold
Ctr cams

That's dope man. Yea I really enjoy my b16. The b16 tranny is much better than GSRs tranny I find. It's quicker to get up there. How were the ctr cams I heard bout them. They're popular from what I've seen

It's torque-less boost it or swap it out. a proper k swap will run you 6-7k+.
Something that's underrated imo is a properly built B20V I have one being pieced together for my integra for spring(84.5mm 11:5:1 C/R) and by properly built i'm talking aftermarket piston/rods and rod bolt etc.

I agree with you, I just got a 88 crx si, I have no plans on modifying anything, you can always pick up a dx etc and do whatever you please

if you really wanted to you could bore it out or machine a lil off the top. go custom. still keep the same motor,be original, and still have fun with the process
