i would get either a b18c5 or c1 and swap the head out with a b16 to lower compression and then slap a turbo kit on there and that should get you moving pretty quick for around 5000 grand depending on were you get the motor and turbo kit, if you looked around you could probably get everything for around 3500....just takes a little looking and patience

 

5000 grand is a bit high of an estimate, but he doesn't really have that much money to throw around...

 

Yeah, I have very little money to do this with. I make just over 1000 a month and I have bills that need paid too, so I'm lookin at maybe 500 to play with a month. The H22 is cheap enough for me to get but would I need a different tranny or will mine do? Its an auto so I'm guessin its a 5 speed auto, but I don't know since I haven't driven the car or even looked it over that much yet.

 

Also the B18B sounds good, what are your thoughts on that?

 

at one point i jacked your 'swap cheap for wholesale and take all three' quote too

aaaaaaahahahaha

no vtec [&o] i still say the B18C1 would be your best bet...but how much money do you have for an engine swap?

 

I still say LS for the amount of money you can spend.

 

Yeah I really like the LS too. Thanks for all of your help everyone. I'll have some pics up in the future some time after I get the motor and a few much needed body mods.
