Default Finally a H Y B R I D

I've waited two months for my swap and I finally got my motor in. With my income I decided to go with the 2nd gen B16. I know a lot of people say the b16's don't have much power or torque but compared to my crappy DX motor this thing rocks! All I have to say is that vtec screams like crazy... I love it. Can't wait to take it to the track... June 9th... Judgement day.

Getting the ACT clutch was a good idea... that thing grabs so damn hard. Chirps in 4th gear... I love it almost as much as the motor.

Anyways, my motor is basically stock now but I'm deciding to just save up more cash and either go all motor or possibly go turbo. Any suggestions from experienced B16 people? What have u done w/ your B16's.

I guess my goal would probably be low 14's maybe 13's... daily driven of course.

I actually had a shop do it... I should have probably took the time to do it myself but honestly I don't have the know-how to do it. I'm not exactly sure which clutch i got but its not a 4puck or 6 puck... its a disk. I'm still in the break in period but its so hard to keep the foot off the gas... the motor just wants to accelerate. I've probably put over 200 miles on it since I got it three days ago. Driving is a whole new experience

With a DRAG turbo kit you'll be able to hit mid 13's.
I know 2 people with this setup, one has a 00 SI and the other has a 2G integra w/1st gen B16 (ran a 13.6 on street tires)
Of coarse NA is fun with B16's too, get some JUN3's upgraded valvetrain and some other goodies and it'll be fun.
