which motor swap to go with?

By Axix23
- Sat Apr 12, 2014 3:15 pm #344453 What motor swap should I go with? It's going into an eg sedan DX. I will be did and also occasion mtn runs and road courses. I plan on keeping it Na. Whp target range would be around 140-160whp.

But if I find a deal on a jrsc, I just may get one. Lol

And any good sites to order my swap from?
I would really like to spend under $4k if possible. Prefer around $2500-$3k range.

I know itr/b16b is prolly pushing the price limit.

the thought has crossed my mind but with a complete stock non vtec jdm d15b, just how much whp will i squeeze out of it? LOL I couldn't find one person with this setup anywhere.

But I agree on the jrsc.

- Mon Apr 14, 2014 7:56 am #344521 i voted for the jrsc, buts that because im biased lol.
finding one is tough though. i lucked out.

seriously though, i rarely see a b16b in egs, especially the sedans.
its like a b16a, that already has half the valvetrain upgrades done for you, plus a pnp.

as far as sites to order from go, hmotors is probably the best. i've used tigerjapanese out of canada, but i got lucky. alot of the feedback they get is really bad.
