Hello,

recently bought a EJ2 as a project car. I knew when I bought it that it had a D15B7 with a leaky/blown head gasket. I went ahead and ordered some parts to get it running nicely.

My friend hooked me up with a B18A1 with it's mated transmission.

I've researched doing mini-me swaps on it, and it seems mostly simple. That being said, what about the B18A1? What could I do with that to make some nice power (Nothing insane, maybe 300-350whp)? I was thinking a B18C head on it. Just need some advice on feasability and realistic, achievable numbers comparing my options between the engine currently in the car (D15B7) and the engine I currently have dismantled for taking inventory (B18A1).

Thanks in advance.

What's your definition of "nice power"? This will determine the direction of this thread.

 

Updated initial post.

Looking for reasonable numbers, 300-350whp including forced induction.
