THat would be the most economical swap there

You can get a B20 longblock for that much, even entire B18A/B swaps! You need to shop around a little more. $550 for the transaxle is obscene.

(talk about back from the dead, this is five months old...)
There is no hype, the B18A/B is a stronger engine.
90-91 B18A 130hp/121ft-lbs
92-93 B18A 140hp/126ft-lbs
94-01 B18B 138-142hp/126ft-lbs (hp depending on year)
With a turbo, it really depends on what pressure and other mods you run.
Compair that to your stock engine and you will notice the B18A/B is by far stronger.

what about a b20? its 2 liters and ive heard with boost they can be amazing. it has a lot a torque too. its not too harsh on the wallet. what are the cons of this swap? all ive heard is that the sleaves arent very strong...i dunno.
