Unfortunately Im too broke to afford a swap, but I just wanted to inform you the ZC isn't a Bseries. I couldnt tell from your post if you knew that so I figured Id tell. Sorry if you did, I wasnt trying to be a dick, just informing

I honestly like the b16. Not just because I have one in my CRX but I honestly like the motor. It's rod ratio is better than any other b series so it has the ability to overrev a little safer then the rest. It's cheap, reliable, easy to mod, and can make incredible power. It's the 350 Chevy of the import world.

I've got about five grand into the car as it is...total. that's including the car itself, motor, wheels, some body work, labor, etc. I'm probably looking at around another 3500 for the turbo the way I want it and a couple Gs for the motor work and maybe a G and a half for the chassis.

I like hybrid engines... LSVTEC and CRVTEC.... But only if built right...

If not those, I like B16's...

The best times I have had with a B16 was a 14.54 with the B16 on drag radials.

On the Dyno with no wheel spin I had 14.44.



Now so far on the dyno I have had a 13.6 with the new LSVTEC built for turbo but no turbo on it.

No track times yet.
