If it's a daily driven car who actually gives a fvck about wheel hop or spin. Unless of course you're going to be racing people on the way to work, in which case... well ya know what I'm sizzle.

thats true, i never looked into that. but still, he has a point, i checked with my mechanic, and without some MAJOR suspention mods, the motor would just be a little to beefy for the car. I still think B18 GSR is probably going to be my swap of choice.

if you have 5 grand...you can get a b18 and a turbo...which would be even more power....i know b18b's can be put together for under 1500 easy and im sure since b18a's are older you can probley get them for way cheaper

Good luck MojoMonkey. I'm planning on doing a GSR swap into a CRX this summer. I'll have 6-7k for everything including the car.

Save some more money, a good motor build is going to run about 5.5k or so. And you need the spare money for other mods.
