my buddy just got a 91 teg and he asked me what the best swap is i think he wants to keep it in the 3000.00 range. and make good power.

 

For 3000, you could get another ls swap. A GSR swap is going to be a lil more than that. He could drop a b16 in it, but I wouldn't recommend it, because that's the route I went, and I couldn't be more dissatisfied with it. The b16 is gutless. I'd suggest with his 3000, he build a LS-VTEC. He'd make a lot of power with that. If built right, it'll last, and some have made more than 200whp! I'd either do that, or turbo the stock LS.

i was happy with my b16 swap in my DA

it really depends on the tranny you get.

there was a guy on HT from new zealand w/ a completly stock XSI that went 14.7 1/4 mile. so the motor isn't that slow, and it is faster than an LS. its also fun to rev to 8k.

with 3000 you could get a b16 swap and rebuild your LS bottom end so you could mix match some things for a PR3 piston, ls/vtec with an S1 or J1 tranny. that'd be fun. probably make 165ish whp.

 

b16 sounds good to me.

 

Build the LS.

b16 doesnt have enough trq to satisfy me personally.

 

Im going Turbo LS after a ride in my buddies... you cant go wrong and its so easy to do and find parts...

 

b16 and modify the hell outta it.

 

You could buy the b16 and use the pistons and head on the ls block for a nice lsvtec or shop wisely and you could get a pretty nice turbo setup for that ls. then later on save some cash for some forged internals and turn up the boost.
