Swap out my old b18b for all b16a1. Sold the turbo kit to a friend for a really good deal of $1300 with everything. I finish the B16a swap, now the car is just an N/A B16a VTEC. Still pulling hard with the setup, but I still miss the turbo power.
One of the reasons I choose to swap with the B16A1 motor is that it's very reliable for the money. Anyone can purchase a full B16A swap for their Honda for around $1500(with tranny, linkage, ecu etc..). As far as how the motor compares to the B18B non-VTEC, it's does however lack the "get up and go" torque. Especially for the DC chassis. That's all for now. Will try to updates with more info soon.

Ran the LS/T for the first time in Houston.
Best time out of 4 runs was 12.9 @106mph. After the 3rd run, the 3rd piston melted and my car was a goner.
Could of done better if I didn't have engine trouble.
That is racing and I' offcially re-tiring the car.

Started on my Turbo installs.I'll be installing the kit myself(welding, fittings, oil lines etc..). The kit will only set me back a total about $1200 including a misc parts. I acquired a Tubonetics t3/t4 turbo with Drag II manifold. Currently I'm working on the install in my garage. I Should be done in about a week and 1/2. I'll posted the setup process pix as soon as I develope the film.
