what is a good motor for the 89 hatch si?

sohc zc foced induction

dohc zc foced induction

d16z6 foced induction

or just do the B16a1 ? i had a b16 swaped into my 91 dx and it ran 14.2's all day every day i beat semi built gsr's and two b20 vtec crx's past 120mph all by 3+ cars. i tell my friend to get the b16 but he thiks it will be to hard to wire up like for v-tec he says !! im like dude its like a power and a ground !! anyway i got a 90 tsi talon a few moths ago and like boost alot so i told him he wont be able to hang if he doesnt get the b16 or a turbo for the zc. i think the turbo zc if realiable enough for daily driving would be beter if it could be had for under $2500 or so . could this be done??

 

let me put it this way
i enjoy my turbo Z6 every time i drive it
great powerband

 

Take the step and get the B16a! Its a bigger hit on the funds at the begining but a much better starting point over the zc's and z6. Eventually you can boost that. A b16 swap should cost no more than 1500 if it is a do it yourself type deal!
