I was looking at a thread in the All Motor forum and decided to make a new one versus hi-jack.
B16B has an almost perfect R/S ratio, awesome gearing, LSD, no torque but good top end, etc.
I'm saving up for a B16A swap right now with hydro LSD tranny. I'm going to be road racing so I don't need tons of power although it would be nice.
A B16A hydro LSD, CTR linkage, HASport mount kit will be around $3,000 not including shipping or other stuff.
A B16B from HMO is $3,800 not shipped but has the linkage and stock motor mounts. Being that the CTR and my car are pretty much the same chassis, would the CTR motor mounts work in my 96 Civic hatchback?
I am going to remove the entire A/C system from my car so if I go with the B16A, that would be another $100-$200 (or whatever they go for) for the CTR N1 crank pulley.
Plus with the 1.8L deck height, adding more displacment and killing the R/S ratio would be very cheap (Si pistons, Eagle rods, and 89mm crank) if I wanted to in the future.
Opinions (only for this question, no get a xxx engine stuff).
