Wow man! I totally feel honored! Lol, yours will be nicer than mine when you get back and start turning wrenches.
nahh....its all based off of personel like but i actually beleive that they are going to be on the same level of cosmetic eye candy......i will have a little more pull on the engine until you swap..lol

im still mind boggled about what to do with performance i have so many ideas...none for the near future but still have them..

i dont see anyone running a built b18b1 motor i was reading up on it i would like to build a 13.1 motor with fully built head and crower 404 cams......200hp with b16 ttrans.......hope fully i can make this come true like two years from now

That sounds completely possible! I may get a b18b and do bolt ons and crower cams my self. It seems to be more in my price range.. But ideally want a b16 for the fact that it belongs in this chassis..
If I already had an ls swap, I'd look into building a 200+ horsepower all motor monster ls/v lol

there's nothing really hard about it i have done it about three times before all you need is the mounts if you are going with the h or f transmission....innovative sells the mounts for the swap for about $300 on ebay.......the only hard part well not really hard just annoying is that when you do the shifter you have to do some triming on the actual shister assembly and the inside of the plastics around the shifter on eg chassis you have to cut the cup holders completely out depending on how you run the wires ......as for wiring i used ex civic wiring harneses and just had my boy tune on chrome with p28's or use the phereable.net ecus with basemaps for stock h....but i will look it up and try to find one for you

Kool man thank you! I'm toying with the ideas of different swaps and trying to research while I save money. Saving is boring lol.

Think of all the work that goes into a B16 to reach 200whp NA....a LS all motor that powerful is going to need even more with it's worse platform. It may not be impossible, but it's a pretty far fetched task.

Yeah. It would problably be he same price range as a full plug n' play k swap like your doing. I would problably go k if I had he money to throw at it.

I think I'm looking at either a b18b or b16 in reality. Ilit depends how long I can save before my y7 decides to take a dump.

I'd say B16. I've had both of those and I honestly liked the b16 better. Though I did miss the earlier shifts in traffic, the LS still wasn't as fun to drive around.

on the cheaper side id say go with the B16. i enjoy it in my hatch, but if i would have had to buy a motor for a swap i woulda went with the ITR. none the less the B16 in a car that weighs just over 300 lbs less than my old one did is still fun.
