Default What would u do

Well i have a 94 cx hatch and its all stock and i was wondering if it would b beater 2 put a z6 head on it and boost. I was wondering if it would b worth the time and money? Would it even make any good power or would it just blow up? Should i just swap a b20 vtec and boost it? Let me know what u think good or bad. Sorry if u cant read it 2 well cause im really wore out from skateboarding all day

some people sy doing mini me swaps is pointless.. gives you the extra 10 hp... with a vtec u can barely feel... never drove in a b20 vtec. but u can find a b16 for cheap and boost that... or an b18b1 ls..

You might as well find and pick up a whole d16z6 and turbo that. That would be worth the time and money depending on how much you're willing to spend. A d16z6 + turbo is cheaper than getting any B-series motor and adding turbo to that. I guess it just depends on what route you're planning to take.

get the full d16z6 motor and swap that then boost it. the swap and the turbo will cost you the same as just a b-swap by its self
