Default Need good Ideas

I have a 95 EX coupe stock (D16z6). Bought the car 4 months ago knowing I wanted to do something, but I am having a bit of a problem makeing the desicion of Swapping in a B18 , B16 SIR, putting a turbo on the D16. Just looking for ideas right now been reading about FI and its starting to make sense. I have always (I am gonna catch heat for this) looked at FI as cheating, but I cant argue with the results. would love to put in a B18c5 ( who wouldnt) or a H22 but for different reasons both are not likely. Well thats it I guess thanks in adv

ANY ideas no matter of cost right now would be apprec.

I went with a B18B swap into my 95 EX. I also looked into FI for my D16z6, but came to the conclusion that since my car was considerably heavier than all the 92-95 hatches, and yes even the Sedans, that a little more torque was in order. I figured that with the b18b i'm starting with more base TQ and Horses, and everyone i talked to said it was great for FI applications (Which i plan on doing in the future). It also fit very well into my budget (Which is'nt very big....lol). All together i spent about $1000 out of pocket for the swap (Sold my D16 to get the rest) and did the labor myself to save some cash...........
Good luck.........

FI is definitly not cheating. Turboing a honda is probably the most difficult and expensive thing you can do!

Go with a b18c or b18b swap first, then think about FI later. If you want to go all motor get the b18c, not the b18b.
