Hey I have a 94 hatchback and iam stuck with the stock d15b8 and I need some advice for what to swap in my budget is around 6000 and my friends tell me to do a b20 vtec but truly I want a type r but I need some help because I want to slap an engine in and feel like a stock ford focus and even touch me lol..give me your thoughts please

i dont wanna sound like an ***, but you have a lot to learn young grasshoppa.

if all you are concerned about is beating a stock Ford Focus, dont even spend your money on a swap, run a few pounds of boost on your stock engine and you should be fine

lol i was just bullshittin i just said that because one has already beat me once but i have slap a bullfrog cam in my d15b8 so far and got a p28 ecu and now a focus cant touch me but..if possible help me out with chossing a bigger and better set-up

acidburn2k2

it all depends on alot of factors my friend, what kinda budget are you working with? what kinda numbers do you wanna put down? is this a DD or a race built car? etc. etc.

longshot

yeahh. boost an 8 valve. whos tha grasshopper? my recommendations, get a gsr swap, thats a good motor, for the price. but if you want to spend 4k on an engine go for the itr swap.

lileghatch

okay this would be a DD and the budget iam wrking with is around 6000 and i would just really wanna be able to beat most cars espically ls vtec's and gsr

lileghatch

uhhh my engine is a 16 vauvle I think but iam the young grasshopper so acid says..I know a lil bit but not much

lcsej1

oh boy what i would do with 6k dollarsssssss

acidburn2k2

are u sure it really is a D15B8? cus those are actual 8valve motors (which can still b boosted, jsut about anything can really be boosted):

but the question about wether its an 8 or 16 valve doesnt help you to get faster. you still havent answered teh question of what kinda numbers you wanna put down

lileghatch

ya your right it was an eight vauve but earlier this week i put a sohc zc head on that had a bullfrog cam init so its a 16 vauvle now idk but thats cool that i can boost a sohc hahaha..if your meaning what kinda numbers and i wanna to put down.idk what you mean..oh maybe this will help i want to run a low 12 in the quartermile and hav about 300 hp and about 250 pounds os tourqe..if possible with 6 grand

acidburn2k2

you 6K is that all going in motor work? or is part of it for misc items like suspension, wheels + tires, etc?

lileghatch

no all that 6000 is going straight to all motor i have about 2000 going to suspension and about 1000 going to rims and proly little money caps here and there ill throw in some new **** for suspension

lileghatch

well what would you do with 6000...

codybb4

mildly built H22 with nitrous and boost!!

damn i wish i had a budget like yours

lileghatch

well that would work but i wanna do b series cause there are more aftermarket parts for them..and my budget is desenct but iam 18 and still live at home so thats why i can have a budget like that and this swap iam planning on doing aint just gona happen over night it proly wont be done till may or some month around there cause i really had to cut alot **** i do to save up this much..you can do too just cut back on some **** and try to save up...before we hit the great deprestion lol
