Am i loosing it???????
Is it just me or am i loosing my head??? OK here goes, I have been thinking about all the shit that i can do to my 91 civic DX, i have decided that i am gunna port and polish my stock d16b2 head and 3 angle valve job to it and slap a 50 or 75 shot of NOS on there, is it just me or am i crazy, i been thinking about getting a d16z6 or d16y8 head and a vtec controller and i think its a waste of money, since i am just going to port and polish and do all that to the new vtec head anyways then why not just leave the sotkc one in there???? But I am deffinetly going to get a b16a1 in a year or so since i am still young, but gimme ur opinion,.......................................... ....Should i swap in the vtec head and port and polish it and then get a vtec controller and then put Nitrous on it? or leave the d15b2 in there and port and polsih it and then get Nitrous??? WHAT WOULD U DO???? as u can see i deffinetly wanna get Nitrous no matter what.............................................. .................................................. .....................THX for all the help

I wouldn't build a 1.5L block. If you want to stay with a SOHC, at least find yourself a D16 block, cuz you'll have the longer piston stroke.
B-series is much more expensive to start with, but obviously you'll have greater potential for power later down the line. Keep in mind that, with a B16 or any other B-series engine, you have to upgrade your sway bars and springs to compensate for significantly increased body roll and nose dive. A B-series swap involves more than just the powertrain. Hence the added expense.

yah i have d15b6 blocks sitting in my garage and i probably couldnt give them away, they are pretty worthless as far as aftermarket performance goes, ur much better off with more displacement to work with

By the way, don't even think about a VTEC controller until you have an aftermarket cam (or, cams in the case of a DOHC.) It will not significantly help, and when misadjusted, will hurt performace.
