Icon3 Help me decide on my new motor...

Well right now i have a few cars (look in sig).. i pretty much drive my purple one daily with a b16a3 in it.. this is wat i have done to the car so far

These pics are about a month old and some of the parts/stuff done (wire tuck) isnt shown in the pics

Exterior
- original purple paint
- "mugen" front lip
- 99-00 fog lights
- front tow hook
- DIY black housing headlights
- EK side skirts
- "spoon" mirrors
- side markers
- 15" black rota gt3's


-Interior
- jdm cluster (black faced)
- momo steering wheel/hub
- sony explode deck with ipod hook up
- JDM ITR red RECAROS
- Gutted rear interior
- Apexi vafc
- skunk 2 shift ****
- dual bend short shifter


-Engine
- B16a3
- 00 si tranny
- 10lb fidanza flywheel
- hasport motor mounts
- stage 3 exedy 3 puck clutch
- JDM ITR cams
- Short ram intake
- Egay header (lookin for a dc)

- Semi wire tuck


-Suspension

- stock struts
- ground control coil overs
- front uper strut bar
- rear disc brake conversion
- ASR subframe brace
- front and rear camber kit











well anyways im thinkin about puttin another motor in it.. the b16 just isnt cutting it anymore and i wana do something a little different.. ive kinda got my mind set on a b20 vtec/ ls vtec/ or a H2B... im really thinkin about the h2b because they make a lot of power and there not that common of a swap..

only reason im leaning toward a ls/b20 vtec is that i already have a ITR head thats completly rebuilt with zero miles and a few other things laying around for it (head studs etc.)

if i do the ls/b20 vtec then i would like to build that block but its def. guna get a little pricey..


anyways someone help me out here.. i cant make up my mind


also one other option is keep the b16 in it and just throw some itb's and a few other things (ssr header etc) ??

If your gonna drag race it H2B, but daily and "spirited" driving, I would go poor man type R. If you use an LS block make sure to get the GSR main cap girdle.

thanks everyone.. i do daily drive it and run it on the weekends.. the motor actually takes a lot of abuse.. i can never stay out of vtec lol.. i think im a go with a ls V...if i did a b20 i would def. sleeve it because there blocks are garbage!

y should i get the gsr main cap/girdle? is there a big difference?
