Well if you are planning on a motor swap there is alot of different options out there, if not you can just throw a cold air intake, header, exhaust, ect... but it all comes down to money!

It has a d16y8 in it right now. When i do the swap which engine is the strongest. ive been told to go with a b16 or a b20 but i am trying to do my research before i spend that much money.

I think you should choose an engine that best suits what you intend to use the car for, if your building it for street/strip you'll need to figure out your budget, and see what engine best falls into the parameters of your power goals, also consider if your going to build naturally aspirated or forced induction, this will fall into play of the power plant you choose also. But if you choose he daily driver route and reliability, you can't go wrong with b18b or b16a with standard after market bolt ons, any of which will be more than enough spunk for ocassional spirited driving sessions. The choice is yours, and knowing is half the battle!
