jerrodh Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 ^ Thats a pretty good deciding factor. But if your talking about like a b-series swap vs. rebuilt dseries+ turbo, which would be faster then the d-series turbo would be. Hit up project car magazines latest issue on that fight.

Tubbith Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Rebuild or swap?... depends on how much you have/want to spend. If you have the budget, swap and build.. Best way to go. If your limited in funds, it really just depends on what you want to do. If you swap, say a B series, you can always build later on down the road.

cartel214 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Miles and condition of motor?? the miles on the motor is 109k and the condition of it is very good im the second owner of it and the people that had it before me took very good care of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNooPYjdm Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 you could straight boost it if you want just dont boost to much..or you could yank it build it for boost and boost the hell out of it..and then theres always the swap which like stated before if you do that you can always build down the road..i guess it all depends on how much power you want to gain...throw a turbo on now will be a fun quick DD but wont last forever...build it for turbo and boost the shiit out of it will make you good power..and a b/h/k series swap will be a fun dd and has alot of potential down the road for N/A or Boost..IMO i say just swap it for a b series and go from there but thats only my opinion...What are yor goals for ur car??

cartel214 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 well if your tight on money and looking for a b series swap u can look into the b18b/b20/or b16 all relatively cheap...b16 will cost more than the other 2..but if your interested in boosting i say find a ls motor (b18b) great motor to boost and always has the potential to throw a vtec head on later down the road as well...also there pretty damnn cheap okay but isnt there more than one version of the b16?

jerrodh Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 hmotorsonline.com has good motors probably one of if not the best JDM motor distributor around. I'm getting the SIR II swap which is more or less something you might want to look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNooPYjdm Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 okay but isnt there more than one version of the b16? yea they do but like stated above you would probably want to pay more attention to the SIR II swap ot the b18b swap those would be your 2 best options for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
