ok so i'v got a 2000 Si with the normal **** on it (intake header ect.) and my problem is that i am a builder on a budget. i got someone that wants to swap their 98+ ITR motor W/ tranny for my B16A2 and $1000. should i get the swap and build on it a lil bit or should i keep the B16A2 and build that? and for wich ever you choose how should i spent my money to get the most out of it?

thanks

 

what are you waiting for man...i wish i can find a deal for my b16 like that...in my opinion its a great deal..!!

 

That's a great deal if the b18c5 is in good shape.

Def go with the b18c5.

 

is the itr in a car running that u can test???? sounds like to good of a deal for me a more expensive motor plus cash for your motor great deal for you so if the itr is good id do the deal

 

if you plan on staying NA go through with the deal, but if you want go boost then stay with the b16.

 

i agree go for it

 

you can spend $1000 going all motor on your b16 and still not be faster thant an ITR motor..

 

do it dont even think twice about it

 

yeah the motor is in a 95 EG right now it runs awesome! so i will still have 3500 any suggestions on how to spend it(wisely)? thanks so far

 

$3500 to spend on a b18c5?

pro1 or m22x cams
smsp or hytech header
intake
exhaust
tune

 

i see 220-230 whp with that kind of money....search before you start buying part you dont need..!!

 

so yea if that motor is running storng deff get it

 

make sure you do a leakdown, compression test anything you can do to make sure it runs well. Dont just drive the car and say "it pulls hard must be good." Shift through all the gears at higher rpm to make sure there are no grinds. If you can take the valve cover offer and look to see how the internals look. You have to wonder why someone would get rid of their R motor for a b16. Even if you are still putting a grand on top. Also make sure the motor and tranny have the vin tags if they do make sure you have them run and they are not stolen.

 

booooooooost

 

make sure the vin's are their so that way you dont get nailed!
