Default Zc turbo Vs. B16 + simple bolt-ons

Well, as the thread states, which route would you take? This will be going into a 90 or 91 Crx, I'm looking for simplicity and cheapness. this will most likey be a daily driven car. Remember: Im trying to go low budget.

thanks!

anything with the words "turbo" in it is not compatable with the words "low budget"...PERIOD, so go with the B16 if u want soemthing cheap, and u can always boost that down the road...good luck

Simplicity would be the N/A B16. Cheapness isn't good in either case and definitely not with a turbo setup.

I think they will cost the same but i would do the B16 i dont know what you mean by "Simplicity" cause if you mean which is easier to swap it would probably be the ZC...wouldnt it??

thanks for all the replies..

How much am I looking at for a b16? will most tuner shops do the swap? are b16 rare to find? are they reliable? what kind of bolt ons will get me big numbers without burnin a whole in my pocket?

thanks!

for a basic b16 swap in an 88-91 chassis you are looking at 1900.00-2300.00 depending on model. this is due to different wiring harnesses front hubs might need to be changed (hf or 4 speed) ect. if you are doing the swap yourself i carry bolt in motor mount kits (lifetime warranty) as well as convertsion harnesses dx/2/si or b16 we also carry shift linkage, ecu,s full conversions ect .

so thats 1900-2300 installed? or is that 1900-2300 for all the parts needed? If i were to take all the parts needed to a shop, how much would they charge for a swap?
