I want All Motor.
I have a busted B16A2, the stock motor in my '99 Si.
My question(s) is:
What would I need to do to get around 14sec time slips?
I know a lot about Hondas (I don't consider myself a noob), and I know that a JRSC puts a b16 in the low 14 ballpark, but I need to make a decision about what I am going to do about my busted motor (hydrolocked).
Should I swap it? Should I build it?
I would love to swap in a B16B because then I could transfer my headers (too short for the Integra's block) and it's just my kind of motor. But, if its possible to build my motor for a little bit cheaper, and get better performance than a B16B, then I'll sign up for that. I just don't know what the build up would entail.
Please help me out (websites, info on their own cars, friend's cars, whatever).
Oh yeah:
ACT Clutch, Comptech Flywheel and Headers, AEM CAI and Cam Gears, Thermal R&D Exhaust

Personally, I'd investigate exactly what type of damage you're dealing with from the hydrolock. If you have to replace a significant number of parts already, then it may make more sense to go all motor, as the cost of using the extremely high-end parts necessary for all motor won't be a huge pile more than what you need on stock replacement parts anyway.
Likewise, if there's not major damage, and it just needs a small bit of work, then going with a supercharged or turbo setup may make more financial sense.

I'm pretty sure it's so they could just make one Type R block, and swap in a different bottom end to make it Civic or Integra.

Yep. Which is why the Spoon and Toda stoker kits specifically say that they are for the B16B block instead of B16 in general.
