ok guys here is my situationi bought my 93 civic si in january wit a blown motor for 600 bukks.....fresh besides the motor im so confused on what to do i do want to go sohc trbo cuz not many people in my area have it and it would stikk out more but on the other hand i have somone giving me a b16 (legit) for free i jus need to switch it to obd1 and put my old mount points on? any advice???

 

Take the free b16, build it and boost that.

How could you not take a free b16.

I'm usually one to bach b16's but if you get it for less than $600 I'm all good with it. Just boost it.

 

"IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME"

 

take the b16 and either boost it or sell it and build the d series for lots of boost

 

It's up to you, I loved my sohc and it was simplistic. If your in it for rarity also, I say stick to a D-series turbo.

 

+1 for boosting the single cam!!

 

stick the b16 in there and boost it

 

donate the b16 to less fortunate people (i.e. ME) youll be really fast...to win my thanks

 

There's many ways you can attack this. I'd put the b16 in there, build a b18b1 bottom, then swap that in there w/a turbo.

Or you could take & sell the b16, build a d16, put together your own kit, get it tuned, and have 2x the power of any NA b-series for the same price.

Word, and again he does want something that isnt seen often. Beastie D's

 

sell the b16 swap for sure, and do a crazy d16 build, i bet with jist the cash of a b16 (probalby doesnt have everything you need) and the extra money you're going to spend with a b16a youd be in the 400horse range more if you get it sleeved

b16- 160hp &lt;400 horse turbo d

 

If he's giving you a motor, take the b16 and turbo it.

End of story, you're taking the motor anyway.

get the motor in your garage/shed/house and then ask us.

How the hell would it stick out unless your driving around showing it off?

 

grab the b16, leave it in your garage. boost the single cam!!! SAVE THE SOHC! and if you get bored of it or it blows... you have that b16 chillin in your garage
