semi quick means youll be happy with a quicker setup for like 2 months and then youll want to go faster. if you stay with the sohc youll be wishing youd gone dohc vtec. whether thats a b16 or b18 youll have more potential. my suggestion is to find a gsr motor or del sol vtec and go from there.

I friggin wish.
Ive been shopping around for parts now for about 3months. No matter what way you look at it its going to end up around 3grand or more (depending on parts quality). Factor in the axles the tranny the mounts IM EM ECU etc etc and youre better off just going with a complete swap. Only time Id recommend piecing it together would be if youre already in the B-series family.

dude like i said it can take time I see b20s go from as low as $450 to $900. An ls tranny is gonna run 350-400. Like I said if you shop around you can have a b20 and tranny for less than a grand. If you spend more than a grand for axles/ecu/shift linkages/mounts then youre dumb.
