|  5000 to make it look HOT? And you still have a d16y7 in it, well then since your so caked out you must be able to put another $10,000 under the hood. But anyway those swaps should run you from 2 to 5 G's complete. Should be worth more than the 5 you spent on looks. |

| mini-me swap is putting a vtec head onto a non-vtec block, SOHC that is. The B16 or B18 is a much better idea, the swap boys here will tell you. |

| b16 + turbo = 5000 easy.. 7000 if you want it to be built. its not cheap to go boost. all those "kits" come with bullshit parts that simply suck ass. keep that in mind. if you budget is under 5g's, i say do a gsr b18c1 swap, and do some itr cams |
