It seems that I can't make my mind up. I've priced a few b16 swaps for around 1500 plus a couple of hundred to put in. I've priced a complete ls swap for about 1400 plus i can just turbo it later. What about the stock crx si engine boosted? Or even build it for boost? I'm only aiming at a little above 200 wheel horsepower. Any opinions on price, dependability? I'm all ears

dohc vtec owns you.

for the money though, id throw internals in the d series.

Id put internals in the D16 and boost it.CRX is light and you can get more than enough power from a D16.

You wouldn't really need internals on a D16 to make 200whp, but it might be a time bomb at 200whp depending on how well it's been taken care of.

For only 200whp go with the D series, but if you want more than 200whp B series is the only way to go.

Yes I'm a tard for this post, i know. I have around 2500 bucks to ---- around with. I'm just worried that once i buy that b16 swap I wont have enough for the little things. Hell for the money I save I could put internals in the stock engine. What's a good build up for a d16? Block guard, pistons, headwork?

Block posts, rods, pistons, have the block done proffesionaly, no head work. 300whp is attainable on this setup. Just ask me :P I know.

my stock b16 in my gutted hatch feels as fast as my ghetto as ---- turbo D that I put together for about $500-
ive never ran my civic in the 1/4 so I dont know exactly.
on the other hand, my boosted D was more fun to drive than the stock B16.

did you just say you are paying someone to put it in? wtf, why? do it yourself, don't be a -----. the only way you will learn is by doing it. have a friend help you or something, but don't pay anybody to do ----. unless its like wheel alignment or something you seriously can't do yourself like head work ( i.e. port and polish)
