usually daily driven, not often gagamitin sa track. 150k yung budget ko sir

B16a ako, sir. Medyo magastos din if magturbo ka since either you put a FMIC and modify your bumpers or a hood scoop instead.

with regards sa bumper sir,mugen aeroface kasi yun sir, medyo may space pa para dun. do you think a 150k budget swap na po yun for b16a? engine complete w/ tranny + disk brake + gas tank + suspension?

I'm really not familiar with the prices of the said engines. To make sure, you might want to call up reputable shops who can do engine swaps such as H3 autoworks, kanzai performance and the like.

The disc brake that you will place is coming from an SiR right ?

I know Honda buds who got both, do drag race on weekends, and drive the same cars daily.

I would go for the B16A anytime. It's way more powerful than the D15B especially when VTEC kicks in.

Between the two, I'll go for the one with:

Less modification done, less risk, less hassle ... but still more power.

If you're a fan of VTEC as a psedo-turbo lag effect (which is rarely felt on D15B), you can get the same "VTEC yo" feeling on the B16A since it's got VTEC on both intake and exhaust valves.

I'll go for honda zc vtec, much better specs on d15b, displacement 1.6 for zc vtec while d15b is 1.5, no need to change internals in zc if you are going to put turbo etc. Tip if you change you engine you need to change reinforcements, suspension, and disc brakes, -power/weight ratio, more power more hp stock brakes won't hold

The original question was posted over three years ago. If the guy was going to do something, he's done it, already. And he's probably not around to read the reply since he last logged into tsikot in 2011...
