What Engine should I do for decent power and little money
I'm still trying to do some research on what to do. I'm planning on buying a 92-95 hatchback within the next month, and the first thing that I'm planning to do with it is an engine swap before it hits the streets. I have been asking around on what engine to go with and I have gotten alot of different aspects, but I wanted to see what everyone else thinks. I am hoping to get into maybe the 170ish mark for the next year or two, and them I'm going to park it and put some money into it. But for now I'm trying to keep the money down a little, So what do you guys think. I have been told to go with a SOHC v-tec motor, and I was thinking just to go with a b18b, and then someone told me that for just a couple hundred more I could go with a b16... I know there are hundreds of possibilities, but I wanted to hear from people that I have done the swaps before, and seen how a hatch preforms with theses motors.

my opinion for the best bang for your buck do an ls non v tech swap my friend has that with a dc header greddy cat back act clutch and a 100 zex shot and ran a 13 flat 1/4 mile. ohh ya if you get an ls its about 700 bucks or so.

yeah get a non those are good. haha j/k
bottles are for babies thats IMO. you can put nos and be fast in anything. You would get alot more credit if you took the time to do the work yourself and build the motor. get ls/v not that expensive and then build it. you'll hit 13's with i/h/e chipped ecu trust me.

what you should do first is make a title that is gives a summation of the content.
as far as this thread, it all depends on how much you want to spend... but you havent even bought the car yet....
