Default Ok I missed out on the gsr at the auction but I got some other questions

Needless to say my donor car went to high for my tastes. After looking at some on-line dealers I think I'll go that way. I was dead set on a b18c swap but All I want the car to do is run high 13's and get 30mpg. I have the Camaro for anything faster than that. After checking prices the b16 might be the way to go. With the b16 and header,exhaust,cams, and intake will I be able to get into the 13's (chassis tuning and normal weight w/street tires)? I would even think about putting the bottle to it (a small kit 60hp?) because I would have an extra from the camaro. I just want something reasonably quick (to upset the ricer's) and good mileage. Any comments and thanks guys/girls

my friend has an 89 crx....and we threw in a first gen b16....bone stock....no mods at all...and it ran 13.8 on slicks....the interior was somewhat gutted though....so with a bottle you definitely will be seeing 13's all day long on street tires with some tuning....he doesn't get 30mpg but somewhere in the vicinity of 20-25mpg

Well, with a 13 second car you won't be driving like a grandma thats for sure. You'd have to baby it pretty darn well to get 30 mpg.
