Default Some Advice On A better Future Engine...
Sup im new to this forum, and i got a need for some advice i have in my car already a:
d16a6
Tanabe exhuast cat-back
cold air intake
fuel pressure reg.
Msd coil
Msd dizzy cover..

Now i have the d16z6 head and intake
im just missing the
ecu
wireing hardness
and i guess V-tec controllers..


NOW i also have a b18a full engine that i got from the junkyard for 80 bucks..
no tranny
some of the wireing hardness..dont know how much i need
intake and ecu

So, i guess i question is which is the better deal do go with, i got a budget of about 2,500

is it worth it puttin money into the b18a or doing the minime swap a6/z6 building, also i wanna turbo either one sometime inthe future so keep dat in mind

Do you plan to do this work yourself? Are you going to rebuild either of the motors before boost? What are you going to be doing with the car? Does that $2500 include the cost of the turbo and accessories?

A little more info, and a whole lot more grammar/spelling work, and you might head in the right direction.

If you intend to use the B18, then you'll need to source a B-series transmission as well...

You can build a D16 to handle 400whp. If you need more than that, go with a B-Series.

One study at UCLA indicated that up to 93 percent of communication effectiveness is determined by nonverbal cues. Another study indicated that the impact of a performance was determined 7 percent by the words used, 38 percent by voice quality, and 55 percent by the nonverbal communication.

Oddly enough, I go do other things throughout the day...like work and sleep. I would've gotten to this topic, oh right about now, anyway. Next time, try to be a little more patient before you PM.

Like I said in the PM, any D16 will work as long as you put it together correctly.
