Hey I'm planning to sell my current car and get an EF cause I think EFs look sexy .

I really don't know what do to do with it then though. I want close to 200 bhp but I'm on an incredibly tight budget. So I kinda came up with a list of budget setups but then some people say this breaks that cracks so I don't know.

1. B20 + turbo
2. LS + turbo
3. VTEC D series + turbo
4. B16

People tell me B20's are thin walled and crack easy. I also heard that on a VTEC single cam 200 hp is kinda pushing it to the limit. Any ideas?

 

Yeah B20 engines have a weak unisleeve design..But they're good strong motors as long as you dont push them..But I vote for ls turbo..You can get +300whp out out that with t3/t04e with good fuel managment..But you say you only want 200whp so a Turbo d-series may be better for you..And to let you know there is a guy Pushing 300whp on a stock internal D16z6..It was tuned very well and its not blown yet..He posted in the FI forum a while back..It was tuned by the guy at evans-tuning.com

 

wow 300 whps on a stock d series. I thought 300 on a stock b16a was alot.

 

Yeah check it out..It made 308whp,It says more then 90 passes at the track,has well over 100k miles and is daily driven on 250whp..Shows what great tuning can do..

Yeah,,There's a big difference between 10psi on say a t25 then a T3/60-1..

 

like a junkyard rebuilt t3 or a 14g

Indeed, they are sexy cars. Welcome to the board too.

I would suggest B16 for you. And turbo it if you want to.

 

D series turbo can hit 200whp no problem, even the stock D16A6 with good tuning/fuel management can hi 200whp. That's what I'm aiming for in my SOHC ZC.

 

ls vtec + turbo

but if you are on a budget the sohc turbo is always a fun thing to do...
i konw a couple of people that broke the 200whp on a good tune and use them for daily drivers and tehy run find...

200bhp will be no problem on a sohc d-series at all... just get it tuned also

 

Yeah jeff is awesome at tuning just don't do any 5th gear pulls on your stock engine or say good bye

 

good pick 4th gens rule

best on budget would be sohc turbo. Hit up the FAQ and search more info then you'll ever need
