im all about a B-series swap, but considering your situation, and the fact that you might not even have more than $1k, you should DEFINATELY N/A build the D.

use all OE honda parts (to cut cost) for the longblock itself, and save a little for cam, maybe a FPR, IHE, and a tune...

Y7 longblock + A6/A1 pistons + Y8/Z6 head + Y8/Z6 trans = fun cheap project.

that way, you get the experience of building a motor, you get drastically increased compression (which means decently quick), 100% dead reliable, and WAY more fun than anything else for the money...

then, if u had $2k, you got some suspension money and wheel money left over

+1^ if you want to learn to build start with a cheapie so if anything goes bad it will be cheaper to fix!

Sorry, i hope someone proves me wrong, but you can't swap on that budget.

Just boost the single stick, that's my opinion, but I'm biased!
Yea he's the real sohc master, if anyone knows about a fast sohc its dan

yes, you can swap for 1500 , yep i said it. i just got done with mine for about 1200. b16a2. of couse with a hell of a deal from pieromarr.

u will need at least a y8 or a z6 if you want a good motor to boost. dont you have a ls lying around?? just throw that in and boost that..

Dan who? I hear his car is all RICE!!! fuck him! His wifes car is gonna be faster anyways...

and um... i assumed the orignal poster would do none of the work. I also assumed that he dosn't really have 2k and gave him a healty 1.5k.

He should boost it... ut it on 7-9lbs on a small turbo, use a 12:1 FPR and call it a day. This will keep him within his budget and allow him to pay someone to help.

Besides 1Cam boosted > 2Cams and unless you want to put some $ on it, just let it go...

FC_V8,
So yes, YOU can swap a B in for under 2k, but by the way the original poster worded his post, I ssumed he's not a hustler like you.

and um reps for the avatar!
