you can easily do a b16 swap for under $2,000 then that leaves you with anthor $1,000 for suspension, rims or whatever else you want

i did a b18a1 swap in mine for well under 2000, but mine alrdy wired for mpfi and i didnt have to get different hubs. My buddies doin a b18a1 swap in his crx right now and im not sure hes even spent more than a 1000 on his. He got the motor and tranny for like 400 and the hubs and axles from the same guy that he practically stole the motor from and baught some cheap mounts and shift linkage off of ebay

i was looking at the b16 specs wouldn't the b18a outrun a the b16 i mean the b16 has more hp but less tq and the b18 has less hp but more tq and it takes the b16 to reach that power by hiting 7k rpm unlike the b18 which is a lower rpm

one i said be reasonable read before posting the c1 would cost me the 3k including shipping so mounts and everything else goes to **** and as far as the b18 and b16 theory i just figured the b18 would pick up speed quicker since it doesn't have to rev as hard
