If money is not that big an issue, go B18c5.
If money is an issue got w/ the B16A2.

You will not be rebuilding the bottom end and the head in one weekend.

hmmm, that sounds like a challenge.

 

if you just want a fun motor for cheap get a B20z. nuff said.

 

i had that same deal with rebuilding my engine in a short time, though i said a week. turned out to be 3 weeks, mainly cuz i had sooo many damn things get in the way like graduation grr, my grandfathers eye surgery, missing tools, half a week at the beach, stupid people telling me what to do...small things pop up and there is nothing you can do, you gotta be totally prepared, i honestly think i could rebuild my motor again in half a week now, but thats 10-12 hour days. which i don't mind. just realize if its the first engine you've rebuilt well...its gunna take a while

ohh go b18c for fun, go h222 for a challenge go b16 if you want it to feel like your old motor with a bit more pep

 

i have a buddy that could do it in a weekend...starting friday night and going to sunday...he worked as a tech for honda for 1.5 years...he know exactly what he's doin'......btw i've seen him do it

 

hey i am the only one that has voted and i say you stay sohc and build it up.

that's what i've been leaning towards...cuz i'd love to build a b series eater.....

you can do it if you have the cash

man... do whatever you want, it seems kinda stupid for us to tell you what to do when we have no idea of how much money you really want to put into it, or were you really want to go with it.

i voted GSR swap just because thats what i did to my EG, and i love it. i wouldent waste the time doing a swap just to a B16, not enough of an upgrade for the same amount of work, i would rather stick SOHC, or go all the way to a B18 or B20.

if your friend can rebuild in a weekend... that would be tight. i mean, you would have a compleatly rebuilt motor that would be perfect to start modifying.

so i say b18 or better swap... or rebuild.

 

dont ask us what u wanna do, ask yourself what u wanna do.

Oh yeah, get an h22
