ok...i know most of you here have like b series, so it might be a bit bias, but...

ok... Around March first i will have close to $1300... as soem of u know it took me 454325435 years to save that up as my job wage sucks phatty *****... but ever since i got my CRX i have been in debate with myself....

here are my two options...

1.) ZC swap, with new clutch, new eveything (maintenance wise) Si tranny, 89 teg ecu ro ZC ecu, and the works... and later on (before the meet) a greddy turbo for 1500 brand spankin new with no IC. (future: completely built internals)

PROS: easy swap, no need new for motor mounts, shift linkages, throttle cables, axles, etc. straight forward swap, cheap.

CONS: Cant boost too high on stock internals, low aftermarket support, weak d series trannies, etc.


2.) b16 swap, order engine first, then go getting all the necessary item such as motor mounts, axles, shift linkage, throttle cable and the endless list...

PROS: HUGE! aftermaket support, endless possiblty, can make very fast, stong b series trannies, with optional lsd, and most of all 8200 redline and VTEC.

CONS: expensive, wiring is so complcated, and will take alot longer than any swap just to get everything, and if my parents find out around how much i spent on the swap, theyll probably kick me out of the house!

so im in a bind here....
i jsutdont know if ill be happy with either... i know ill be happy with the b16, but i know ill be happy with the zc turbo....

i guess what i need is some reimbursment so that i can feel secure about myself when i do order the engine next month...

what would u do if you were in my size 13 shoes?!?

Stop cursing......pistons/rods/rings in your stock motor turbo @ 12psi.

 

i'd say d16z6 over the zc, it's just as easy to swap, more aftermarket goodies, still have vtec without the price of a b16 swap, and you can do the whole swap for around 600-700, and the power is pretty impressive...that with a turbo, very nice...i have a z6 in my 91 dx, and none of my friends with zc's can beat me

 

Hate to say it, but Blown90Hatch has the answer. ...most bang for your bucks, least hastle. I'd have done the same if I started with a Si.

 

Turbo the stock motor like everyone else is saying.
