change of plans

well, some of you already know this but recently my 92 dx went from 4 cylinders to 3 leaving me with one option- MOTOR SWAP! I had planned on doing a swap when I bought this, but not this soon, but hell, now I have a reason

Anyway, to make a long story short, Saturday night I got bored ( there is never anything to do in STL ) and stripped everything out of the beast from behind the front seats.

I'm not 100% sure where I am going from here. Me and Eric (my boyfriend) are talking about me just getting a newer car and both dumping money into the hatch and just building the hell out of it. Orginal plans were for a d16 turbo charged, but now that we are both working on it we are thinking H22. Anybody has any sugesstions, let me know!

what I WOULD DO... personally.. gut the shit outta the car... put a built b18b with a turbo kit and RUN RUN RUN... H22.. eh.. not my fav unless ur going 100% drag racing and never wanna street the car... now if your keeping the car for urself as a daily driver.. gut the back... and b18b with a mild turbo setup.. if you dont have much money to build it that is.. b18b holds lots of boost.. strong engine.. and has good torque #'s. As you can tell I am a boost junkie.. and I like the b18b for boost.. why use VTEC when you have BOOSTEC... hehe..

And as far as b18 vs. h22... the only reason I was planning on going h22 is the fact that this car is no longer going to be a daily driven car what so ever. I am buying a new car and this one is becoming my "race car" if you will. Don't get me wrong, I don't have mega bucks or anything like that, but I want to do it right, the first time. I figure it might take a while to get it where I want it, but no matter when I get it done if it is next month or 5 years from now I will be one damn proud eg owner...
