Hey guys, as we all know tax returns are coming up and i just got to see how much i getting back and i have about 3,000 -3200 to spend on a new motor and i was wondering which one might you guys do for good power bone stock and relibailty for DD....im thinking about throwing my nitrous on it too like maybe a b16? anyways let me know what you guy would do personally....i honestly think a b16 is way too slow for the money so thats why im asking.....

 

D15b7

Good power
Bone Stock
Reliable as hell
40+ mpg
cheap


Seriously if your gonna spend all the money on a swap check out the H2B swap.
Affordable honda with torque

 

Just Turbo a D..

Sauceja Why am i quoted on your sig? lol

 

Cuz I saw it on a thread that was six years old, its true and it pretty much sums it up. Except right now I have like 4 heads 2 blocks a tranny in my garage and a few more things out in the shed. haha.

 

bummmmmmmmmppp

 

Hope you give her food and water. Don't want a dead body to explain to the police.

As for best swap, you could get a K24 for pretty cheap.

 

a b20z is exactly a b18b,everthing works just fine with an ls swap, the ecu setting runs perfectly,the exhaust & intake manifold interchange too, I would buy an obd1 ls swap(they go for around 900 bucks), then buy a cleaner,newer 01 b20z (500 bucks) and finally sell the ls longblock(-200?) so for 1200 bucks you would have a b20z swap! maybe add a new tune-ep,clutch,t-belt,w-pump too! the b20z comes from a newer car thats not beat on everyday like a b18c therefore your chances of geting a good motor is better with a b20z, its also very potent and can be converted to a crvtec afterwards,thats if its not enough stock, I had one in an eg and loved it! pulls much stronger than any b16 or d-series, the b20z with all the ls stuff like in&ex man,ecu,cams puts down 160hp like the b16 anyway and with more than 25lbs more tq and with more room to play, and can be vteced if not enough, you cant double vtec a b16 for more power hahahah!

 

gsr with bolt ons

 

B20z for stock.. when you want more power get vtec on it ^^.. not expensive at all to get both done

 

hum its tuff to say........ i think ls swap would be best bet.... real cheap parts are easy to find and they are real fun... and if u want next yr with the tax check get a turbo kitt and a good tune and u could have a prety quick car....

 

Man having the same problem, iv been told the B16/B18 combo. Or for a lil more im thinking an h22. can make hell of a lot of torque.

 

B18B1

Good power, reliable, and many options for later.

If you get tired of the 145Hp, you could either do a LS/Vtec or turbo.

 

$3200 hell, do a turbo gsr.

 

An LS without a turbo is like a woman without a vagina. Worthless.
