What should I do to my hatch with $4500?
 
Should I...
(A) Finish assembling my LS block and finish my LS/vtec swap for ungodly n/a slowness but reliable driving, or...
(B) Do a budget boost build on my b16a with some cheepo forged rods and pistons and some ching chang turbo parts and cut down my reliability but raise my fun level to driver's license losing heights? ;D


My fiance ok'd me taking out a loan to "fix" up my hatch and said it would be a shame for me to sell the car when I have so much work into it. Maybe I'll finally buy that gay-dm SiR nose swap I always wanted for it and some decent 15" wheels. 8)

Either way both motors need work, the b16 burns oil and has lower compression than it should, the LS needs to be finished off and should be over-bored but I basically have most of the n/a parts for it and my ITB setup I've been working on. :-\

Seeing that I've already explored the limits of stock motors over and over again, I think a built one would be in order if I did do another boost setup. Besides, I know me when it comes to that boost controller. :l

Word, don't spend $4500 on a 10+ year old car.
