Yea Its really what you want you can go any way..... Like most people go for the 92-95 Hatchback just because they are so light any just about any motor will fit.

 

if i turbo a motor is it best for it to be vtec or not?

 

Honestly many people will argue that but It really doesnt matter as long as u dont try to build it high REVs
Go Vtec A real good motor to start will be The B16

 

Yeah what they said and welcome to the forum.

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome and enjoy your stay.

 

welcome to the forum. As was stated, the b16a (found in 99-00 Si's / Canadian SiR's) would be the best "off the lot" engine to boost. Well, bang for buck wise anyway. Other than that the LS/Vtec (b18b w/GSr head) ...something with low compression [:-]

 

Thanks guys that really helps a lot
