USE THE SEARCH BUTTON...... polls like this are a dime-a-dozen. No one wants to answer anymore, you are much better off searching for the info yourself.

LS, with b16, or GSR tranny, and then turbo... or instead of turbo you can do some good suspension...

You should take some time to look at an h22 swap also. It's a bit more involved of a swap, but it could be beneficial depending on what you want to do with it.

Man, some of those choices are just .

Also, you said to keep it within the $3500 range.... the Type R swaps cost at least $4000+ so you can rule those out. And why choose a 99 LS swap for your EG? Except for the fact that it's a newer motor than a 94-95 B18B swap, it'll cost more and be more rare to find, not to mention that it's OBD-2 but that's such a big deal. OBD-1 B18B complete change overs go anywhere from $1500-$2500, depending on what you get and from where.

The H20 thing... I hope/assume you meant H22A complete change over (w/mounts & axles and such), as that can now be done for under $3500 these days. If you have a budget, you should evaluate how much you really have to spend, and think about what you really want for your car (something good, something fast, something for racing, something to "look cool," whatever...) and go from there.

no i think he meant take the head off his d15 and pour in some quality H2O, then rev that badboy up and see what happens. Its a budget build...
