Which of the following do you think i should swap?
b18b1
b18c1
b18c5
h22a
b16a2

Im leaning towards b18b1 because its cheap and great for boost.

How much money do you have to play with is the real question.

momatt82

I have about $3000 ....but getting more or spending less is not a problem...thats how much I have budgeted for it.

I would suggest the B18C5...can't go wrong with a Type R. It's light, pretty durable, and you got most stuff that people with B16's and other B18's want already: intake manifold, throttle body, cams, etc.

momatt82

id go with the type r but i def. wanna go turbo and im scared to turbo one.

Seems tough to tune correctly???....

pdiggitydogg

3K go with the b18b then save the rest for your boost...which could be had soon after w/ proper savings

momatt82

type r is awesome but i def. want to go turbo and im scared to turbo a b18c5

high compression/vtec/tough tuning.....

momatt82

I also gotta find the best place to get my mota

feel free to give suggestions

for $3000 you could get way more power out of that d16 than you could out of swapping a stock b18c1 in there.

hehe i'm not hating on b18c's , but i'm just saying calling the y8 shitty is stupid when it can be built to make decent power.

Thanks for searching dumb ***. Lets see what else would help? Oh yeah that little thing called a price range.

I agree with turbo y8/z6 though.

just do some kind of cheap junkyard turbo setup. It wouldn't cost that much and with $3000 you could have a fairly nice setup on the y8.

Yeah but what about potential? A better starting point is almost always going to give you more potential. Most, if not all, of the motors he listed have a lot more potential than anything that the D series has to offer.

As for the actual question. If I were in your situation, and had you kind of budget, it looks like the LS is the best choice. Cheap, and you can throw a sizeable amount of boost at it before you have to upgrade the internals.

jumpmann23

what about b20 with b16a tranny? also consider the b16a its not a bad motor its fun and later on its good for boost too.

Eyes Only

yo man get that b16 and turbo it

HXvtec

this is one of the best threads if ever been in. ok the y8 can be boosted for under 1000 using a custom kit. then u have 2000+ to build internals or get a better tranny or both. b series are a good starting point. if u really want a b series i would go with b18b1 b16a head then go turbo. but there's nothin better then seeing a little d running 12's.

Stick with the lil D homey. 3 main reasons why:
1.) Cheap
2.) More reliable
3.) Easily modded to handle boost to spank most B-series
