thats a hit out of the ball park, b18c1 fo' sho.

can be built to go NA or Turbo without breaking your bank, and still provides a kick while you choose which route to go.

If i was to go the B18C1. what other parts would i need for the swap to be complete.

also how long do engine installs usually take.

engine installs are based on knowledge so i couldnt really tell you how much time itd take you to install a motor.

it says......COMPLETE SWAP.
but you'll need an extension welded onto the exhaust i believe.....or some of it cut off, i forget.

go C1.....c5 + turbo takes a lot of tuning to run nice....a LOT of tuning.
to be honest though......if its not going to take long for you to go turbo, id snatch up a B16A w/ LSD instead.

if you have a friend or 2, all the tools, the swap should be done in about 8 hours. go with the gsr b18c1 motor. a red valve cover and and extra 20 horses isn't worth an extra $3k.
