Default Single cam question

Hey guys quick question . I currently have a 93 ej with a d15b7 , and I was planning on putting on a d16z6 head for vtec and also thinking about putting turbo. I'm planning on swapping for a GSR later down the road when I actually save that much money up.

Do you guys feel like it's something worth doing? Decent amount of power gains? What would be a good amount to run boost on ?

As for my last knowledge these are the parts I need for the mini me swap. Let me know if I'm missing any.

D16Z6 Distributor
Spark plug wires (NGK)
Spark plugs
D16Y8 head gasket
P28 ECU
Exhaust manifold
Intake manifold
D16Z6 timing belt

Thank you so much !

If you are going to B swap, save your time and money to do that sooner...

Yeah you do make a point but I'm tired of how slow the d15b7 is . But it looks like that's the best choice

I already have the head picked it up for $20 about 2 months ago but it needs everything only think it came with was the vtec selonoid . Needs to be taken to the machine shop too .

So that's why I'm thinking about doing the swap.

Haw a friend selling me the si tranny in good workin condition for $75.

Doubt I can get it going for under $100. Need everything pretty much and a pressure test is $60 . Plus need to find someone to do the head swap for me so doubt I can get it going for $100.

just forget it then, if you have to pay someone to do the work it's even less worth it
