Whatever you decide on don't waste your money on a B16 unless you are planning on turbocharging it.

Re: turbo or all motor
how many miles is on the motor, the b16 is good to start and then you could turbo that in the past, your still have power with that lite car, the turbos a positive but then you still have those miles, i think motor than turbo
