Default b16a or b18c5

So, i currently have a 95 si hb with complete 98 itr motor.
I just recentley purchases a jdm b16a motor for a good price and was planning on flipping it.

In the process of trying to find a buyer, i began to think. Should i stick with the itr motor or should i sell it, and use the left over money to boost the b16a?

This is going to be a DD car. My goals are low 13 or high 12's in a EG chassis.

What would you do and why. Thanks

Keep your ITR motor.

I guarantee that if you swap in your B16 you'll be disappointed.

A stock ITR motor would be a sweet DD. I mean, it's quick, quite reliable, and probably fun as hell to drive around. That's what I plan to swap into my DD.

Sell the B16.

Well like i said, im trying to reach the low 13's goal. Im sure that can easily be done with a boosted b16.

That is achievable with the ITR motor. If I'm not mistaken, an ITR hatch runs about mid 13's. Depending if you can drive or not.

if you take a look in the drag and ITR section, guys have posted A LOT of timeslips with relatively stock ITR's, maybe just I/H/E, running 13.8's i think one was completely stock and all were full interior w/ ac & ps.

My 92 CX with a GSR motor (few bolts ons - IM, TB, I/H/E) ran a 13.9 on street tires and 13.4 on drag radials my first time down the strip with it. I have no doubt you could hit much better times with the ITR as my car is setup for road racing not drag racing.
