alright im gonna be doing my swap hopefully next summer if the bank gives me the loan. here is my question should i build myself a b16b or b18c-r all motor monster or build up a b16a with boost and push crazy hp amounts? im still not certain what i wanna do.

i think ill get a lil more respect if i build an all motor monster. then again i could always lower the compression in a few years and boost the jdm motor. but thats kinda poinltess depends on how speed crazy i get.

comments welcome. please 8)

All motor B16a build the head. And then buy a b18b block and CTR pistons. And your set, just swap out the block and tune. :2:

Make me horney just thinking about it.

Turbo for RWD

n/a for FWD


Go N/A, it shows so much technical skill if you can build up a b-series engine and run low 1/4 times

dude if your gonna go all motor... your gonna have to spend much more then a nicely done turbo setup and you probably wont achieve the same results.. sure a much flatter torque curve... but not as much hp as with the all mighty snail., personally I am a boost fanatic... nothing like hearing that wastegate.. hmmm brings chills down my spine.

Haha damn boost junkies. Remind me of crackheads in the car world, running fast. :P

If you wanna ball on a budget sohc-t is a good alternative though.
