best B series for n/a?

By vtec veezy
- Tue Oct 07, 2008 2:28 am #73049 hey guys, i made my decision and wanted to go all motor, but still haven't decided which b series engine to get. I wanna make decent numbers (in the 200's range) and even better when more money comes in, so which would you guys recommend? thanks in advance

Would say the same and also the B16B has similar numbers but harder to get your hands on

ITB's feel incredible but you sacrifice a lot of driveability. To do it right you really need to do some serious fabrication; not just the ITB's themselves, but also for vacuum control and a plenum. That's right, to do ITB's correctly on a street car you need to build a type of plenum.
