Default Thinking about trading my b18c1 swap for a ....................

I am thinking about trading my B18c1 complete swap that I just go about two weeks ago and still has 2 and half month warrenty on it.
It is a complete swap.
Looking for a 99 or 00 b16a swap with turbo, or a 96+ B18b swap with turbo.
Needs to be in the North Texas area

Engine is clean, just the engine bay is dirty

Most would say you're going the wrong way. Why are you thinking about this if the swap is already done?

You have the best motor for turbo(out of those three). The B16 is a 1.6, your GSR motor is a 1.8. The LS is a 1.8, but yours has VtEc Yo!

OK, I want a bigger engine, and you want a smaller one. lol

You should just save up and turbo your B18. You would be happier in the long run.
