Its fully built well at least the bottom end is built and boosted and im kinda getting tired of the single cams iv been having problels latley and want a reliable steady motor For NOW cause i have to get to and from school. well i cant decide on what kinda of swaps are goos the b16,l/s vtecs,or a gsr, let me tell u my budget isnt that much but im going to make a deal with a shop owner by giving him my whole motor and turbo kit help me out people i want to make good power for now i want to keep it n/a and then who knows maybe boost it again.iv already searched and read around and still cant decide,what do you guys think is a good motor to build and make alot of power with(n/a for now) and i wanna it to be, im not using the word cheap but semi inexpencive u know what i mean.sory if i sound like an idiot like i said im a noob to swaps so help me out people on your experiences all opinions exepted and will be taken into concideration thanks guys

your project all depends on how much dough your willing to spend...if you want something reliable and make good power go b series. a b16 or a gsr motor would be a good platform to start off with. but if anything its all up to you what you want. good luck wid your swap though.

Save you some money and just grab a gsr swap. A b18c5 might be a bit stronger but its not worth the money at all.

bragging rights? ok if you want to be "JDM" get the c5 if you want to win get a b16 and turbo that with the money you would ahve dropped for the c5... you say you want to stay na (for now) seriously grab a B16a from Hmotors (or where ever.. i recomend HMO cause they just straight up rock) and turbo that.. or if you got the extra money get teh B18c1 (gsr) either way you wont go wrong.....

heres what i did/am doing..... i dropped a B16a in my hatch... running na for now untill i can stabilize my money then im getting a precision turbo kit from whipfactory and semi building my b16 IN TOTAL (the build) doing this will cost me about 10k and ill have somewhere around 450whp

why swap in a b16 is you are going to stay n/a for a while? **** get a b18b and a b16 tranny and boost the bitch. b16s are torqueless and imo very unimpressive like a d series unless you boost them.
