Lately I've been looking into starting an FI hatch project. I found an internally built (rods/pistons/polished head) ZC (it's for sale in newport news. is it anyone's on here or does anyone know who owns it?) for a decent price. By decent price I mean it would cost me a shitload more to do the building myself. Or I can order a b16 from Osaka for $1100 which is needless to say, more expensive than the ZC. The ZC would drop right in w/o any other modifications, or so I've heard/read. The b16 would take mounts and all the other goodies. Opinions on what to get?

 

B16 all the way.....

 

I don't know john, you keep crying about your b16!!
I've seen john up against a zc turbo, which was pretty damn close, I think you should build a b18 (cause thats what I'm building, type r everything!!)

 

b18 is too expensive and dont they sit at a different angle so they require some fucked up mount positions or something? im tryin to buy the engine first, build it, then buy a car. so if any of you want to sell me a b16 cheap, let me know

 

b16 all the way!!!!

 

where at and how much?

 

NoReverse - check your pm's.

 

b16, in my opinion, but they both can be real fun.

 

If ya aren't going to consider a B18, then B16 for sure. Hell with the ZC, your're just going to wonder later how much better a B16 could've been.

 

WHat is a ZC??
