Default recommendations for my situation

I have a civic si 00' but I am thinking about selling it. Want to buy 93-95 ex or 92-newer hatch. The problem is I have a clutch, flywheel, lsd, and misc. parts I haven't installed yet for a b16. What would be the best way to handle this: b20 or b18 with a b16 tranny or just buy a b16 engine and tranny. Planing on doing a turbo motor.

Hybrid-wise, if you're planning to go with a turbo application, a B16 tranny isn't where you want to head. Look into an LS tranny from an Integra with longer gearing.

You're in quite a bind. I guess your best option is to stick with your Si and turbocharge it like hybrider93 says.

The clutch and flywheel will both work with any b18 engine. I'm not sure what brand your lsd is, but I know the Quaife lsd is the same part number as the B18B piece. The B18C1 & 5 have a different part number though... I'm not sure why though, I thought they were basically the same tranny. Guess not...

I'm not sure what your "misc. parts" consist of, but it looks like you could use some of what you have. You might be able to sell the rest without losing too much money if that's the route you wanted to go.

SELL THE SI and get a 92-95 SI and get a B16A plus turbo and those left over parts can still go on the 92 hatch and u save more money after selling ur 00si
