I got a hold of an Ef and im thinking of dropping a b16a1 from hmotorsonline.com in it. sound good? worth it?

 

Save the SOHC.

Boosted SOHC>Stock B16. And cost's the same if u know what ur doing.

A B does have more potential though I guess. If ur even gonna dump alot of $ into it.

 

I'd turbocharge the single cam as well, if it were an A6 at least. B16's suck, they just make a lot of noise N/A.

 

i just dont know about this d15b1 thats in there right know. it doesnt sound the best.

 

Try to get ahold of an A6 if you can, then boost it. Or get the B16, with mounts, linkage, axles, etc. They will probably end up costing around the same. A turbo SOHC will get you more power from the start, but a B16 is also a good engine to turbo down the line.

It is really a matter of preference and what you want to do down the line. I always end up pushing my turbo agenda on people, forgive me.

 

I actually wanted to have internals/ boost in the b16 by march and just use it as a daily driver for now but it prolly wont make it lol

 

Honestly, with a good tune a boosted engine can be as reliable as stock. I'd convert it to OBD-I and use Hondata, you should have no worries from there. Just don't do any 3 mile long highway pulls or anything.

 

any good sites to buy b16's? i found it for about 2300 shipped with hasport motor-mounts

 

Dang that is way too expensive... You can get a full SiR-I swap on here in the classifieds for around a grand or less. Used hasport mounts, I have seen those go for like $250-300.
