#1. just got the car and it just has intake and exaust. kinda slugish! it's a 97 ex 5 speed coupe. don't want too much under the hood, just a little more power. don't know too much about honda swaps so i'm gonna need some help! i need something kinda cheap and that will go in with out cuttin' it up. b16-b18? whats the difference? what will i need besides a b series motor to get goin'?? mounts, axels, anything?

#2. will a b series motor pickup a respectable amount of hp with a few bolt ons? are they dohc vtec?

any info will help
thanks
 
the b series will bolt in with out cutting and you just need a few things, but if i was you just turbo what you have and it will have more tork and hp than a b series with bolt ons
 
well how much do you wont to spend tops
 
and in the event u end up buying the motor and tranny separate, try to get a 99-2000 si tranny. nice gear ratio
