Congrat's on the purchase of the new rex.

IMHO I would reccomend getting the second gen B16A just due to the hydro transmission (Hydro transmissions are going to be a tad bit more expensive but at least you will be able to replace it with a newer transmission I.E. Integra LS, GS, GSR, ITR ). Because if you think about it it's much better than getting a S***** transmission that is 10 years old. Especially since you were thinking of going turbo the B16 tranny's do not last nearly as long as the Integra one's.

I personally have had two B16 transmissions go out on me and now i'm trying to save up some cash so I can do a cabe-to-hydro changeover because I got a first gen (I was thinking about putting in a GSR tranny just because those tranny's are pretty damn strong) If I had gotten a second gen in the first place maybe this would not have happend soo soon.

As for the Jackson Racing chargers, Vortech chargers, and the $3k Greddy turbokit they will fit the first and second gen B16A.

Good Luck with the swap and let me know how the finished product turns out.:thumbup:
