ATTN:abaz your opinion needed
i dont wanna flame the person cause there a friend and i know whats its like to be flamed.
1991 crx si.
he wants to rebuild the motor and tranny for some boost. do a ghetto kit. and have 250 hp. i told him with that amount of cash about 3G he can do a swap b16a and have about 1400 left to do a custom kit on the crx.
now am i wrong or right for saying that a b16 thats unbuilt would make at least 250 or higher with 10psi that a sohc no vtec would make at 18-19psi. wouldn't he not hit a wall for tuning and solutions to get that sohc no vtec crap motor to hit 12's.
what im saying is. the b16 with boost gives him so many more options, ---- a b18a for that matter.
he wants to rebuild his si motor. just a non vtec 140K motor.
in your opinion. wouldn't you do the swap and boost
rather than build and boost??

Defintely talk him into doing the engine swap. You will have way more potential with the B16.

I heard that vtec was bad turboed.. is this true? I mean the high lift/duration vtec cammode was bad combined with a turbo.. I can't rember why.
I know theres a ton of b16a turbos out there though.
Im going with a built zc turbo b/c its cheap and easy to swap.

honestly, some people love their single cams, and want to build the ---- out of them.. and thats fine and all, but bottom line a B-series motor as a base platform is better to start off with. You will have way more options later down the road.
Trust me, I spent tons of money on my ZC.. which will be fast, but not nearly as fast as if I was to do it to a B-series and do the exact same ----.
Turbo - VTEC, its true, that they dont work well together, but it is a very easy fix, its called dialing out overlap caused by the vtec engaugement. You can do this with a set of adjustable camshaft sproket.
