Why you would sink $15-20,000 into building an engine that's going to be installed in a $1000 car is beyond me, but why you would spend that much money on an inferior engine is the worst idea ever. B-series are obsolete, K-series is the . If you say otherwise, then you don't know what you're talking about.

b16a2 is a good choice i reccommend getting the hydraulic transmission because of its strength awesome tranny and decent motor set up would be your best bang for the buck...

i say from my own experience for fun and such

4.785 FD LSD ITR TRANSMISSION
B18B Engine
ITR flywheel
Stage 1 clutchmasters clutch or equivalent
I/H/E
and with the hasport transmission mount kit it'll all bolt in with ease
use either a p28 p30 ecu and save your money from the chips and get to know uberdata its easy to use and alot better performance since you can adjust and tune at your own levels of modification once you learn what your doing you'll love it 150ish hp plenty of torque and gearing to put it down you'll out perform most b16 swaps and others
