[8D]Yes its exactly as the title states.  I have a friend that I used to live beside in an apartment last year that so happens to do swaps/tunes nissans and hondas.  Anyways he has a ek hatch he is selling and is offering to help me swap the motor out of it into my eg hatch.  It is a b16a2 with lsd tranny, and a real authentic mugen 4-1 header (this guy travels to japan to pick out his engines/trans andeven a few cars once in a while) on the engine.  He has a exedy stage 1 clutch and fidanza flywheel that he will throw on.  I would get this at no more then the cost of a b18b (which is cheap here, mabey $1300?   I know they say a b16a is over rated and that but is it worth it too pick this up at such a lower cost then say the h22a swap i was gonna do?  And this guy is not an average swapper, he does this out of his garage as a full time job, has about 10 yrs exp. and I posted it before in a thread but he has a thread where he made a duel engine h22a powered delsol on hondatechforum.  He's a friend as well so the engine will be in good cond. and it does have low milage.  I could always boost it later anyways[8D]  Its gonna beat the d15b7 anyways.  What do you guys think, get it for a good price while I can, or pass it by and spend more on something else?  (one reason I consider this is I could use the saved dough for some body work and a nice set of wheels/tires along with i/h/e and I could buy my old pickup I need by August as well!)  Ive already got the suspension done on my car too (or it will be done soon, lol Ive got the parts just waiting lol)
