Casper1316 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hey guys. New to this whole site and wanted some opinions. I just bought a 93 Del Sol and wanted to some advice. It's completely stock with some miles on it. I was looking to swap out the engine for something with a bit more power. At first I was considering a B16 but, now I have my eyes on some sort of a B18. I'm thinking of leaving it just completely stock besides and engine swap. Any tips or advice? Also I'd like it to be smog legal considering I'm in California and we all know how dam strict the smog laws are here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi87 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Both are really good swaps honestly...but if you still might be thinking to go with a b16.....just do a mini me swap with the b18 bottom end and b16 head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B18B with B16A head is a LSvtec aka frankenstine id go with the b18, they respond to mods alot better and have a little more power/torque stock.. as for cali emissions.. you're going to have to get barred to make it legal sooo you'll need everything either stock or carb legal on the engine and it has to look like it came stock in the car, no misc wires or anything.. has to look factory.. you'll more than likely get turned around a few times by the ref but just keep fixing the faults the ref finds and keep going back and you'll eventually get barred.. OOORRR you can have a shop do it to where itll get barred first time but thatll cost you some money.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided I'm going B18C1. Anyone know of any smog legal engine swap shops in Cali??? Found one but not so sure of it. Looking to spend nothin over 5k. B series = win Definitely.
