This is the set up I’m thinking of doing, but I’m not sure if this set up will perform well or worth the money and effort. This will all be going into a 94 teg 2 door, daily driver. This is with an si tranny with 7.5lb flywheel. I will be doing most of the work by myself with firends.

Items I have or donated to me:
b18b with 103000 km
b16a2 head
b16a2 cams
b16a2 intake manifold
b18b ls rods with b16a2 pistons
b16a2 ecu
62mm LS throttle Body

Items I will buy
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Head Bolts
ACL Engine Bearings
GSR Girdle

Should I buy Rods also, and put them with the b16a2 pistons? If so, which are the cheapest ones but still good? I heard something like wiesco?

No, I'm not boring or resleeving for the time being.

These items I have already or will be given to me. My friend was going to put a b16a2 head on his gsr, but later decide not too… He went turbo and called it a day (maybe I should do that too).

Well anyways, I was deciding whether or not I should just forget this, and either go
1)crv vtec or 2)turbo . The reason I can’t make up my mind is because doing ls/vtec will be a lot cheaper then the other options, but I believe the other options will provide a whole lot more power right?

I already own the b18b, and I have all the parts needed to do ls vtec, but if I do CRV Vtec or turbo, I’ll need to spend a lot more right? Its like spending 400 (w/o the rods) and have ls/vtec vs $2000+ for the other 2 options…

Well what do you guys think of that set up? Its like an OEM ls/vtec, and I read some guy in the classifieds is running pretty fast.

1)Well enough, rambling but what do you guys think of that set up?
2)How fast in the quartermile will that get me in a 94 teg?
3)Should I get rods and put it with the b16a2 pistons?
4)Do you think I’ll be happy with this set up? (i just want somethign faster then
5)what I have now, I'll be happy if this gets into high 13's, this has to be daily driver)
6)Is there anything that I should add or change to this set up?
7)Will this car work on pump gas?
8)Will this car pass smog (smog only, not visual)?
9)Will my 62 mm ported throttle body work with the b16a2 manifold?
10)I dont need a obdII-obdI harness do I?
11)Will everything plug straight up?

And my budget, isn’t great, because I’m going to a new college in September, and I’m not sure how much more books and tuition will cost, so assume the avg joe saved up money budget…

Thank you for all your time my fellow ht members, and thanks to those who have helped me already…
