    b18a woot woot...

    actually i am only getting a b16a1 this june with turbo. i will be spending 1200 for the complete swap and a couple hundred on the turbo.

    b18a i think will run around 2000+ or something like that

    save your money and put a ZC and use the price difference (b18) for a turbo kit or nitrous

    im bout to get my 88 dx back this fri swap didnt take that long at all i was stuck on that same question i went b18a for the torque I was going turbo but i think im leaning more towards a 75 shot of the good stuff because its just way cheaper i think a turbo is going to run round 5 g's for everything thats out my ball park 4 me i paid 2750 for my swap an the b16 was 3150 an that parts an labor
