What engine do you think I should swap that has the best bang for the buck? I was thinking about swapping a GSR. (Note: This is just a tentative plan)

Why not fix up the engine that you have? A GSR would not be the best bang for the buck by no means.

you think a SOHC vtec 1.6 is worth tuning?

Personally I think so. If you put the same amount of money into your SOHC VTEC as you would a Swap you will beat that car you have with a Swap. Tune it right and that shit will be fast. Also when you beat a DOHC you can rub it in :D

true that my boy has a vtec head on his hatch som its basically an EX motor, with 6 puck clutch/flywheel, shortshifter, throttlebody, intake manifold, i/h/e and Apexi VAFC. And with the lighter hatch body, hes about as fast as i am

true ...but if he were to swap a dohc vtec and then build that up he would be even faster

get anything but the B16. IMO it's kind of a crappy motor. the head itself is nice but the block sucks anal. get a B20 motor and slap a B18c1 tranny on. you'll be way faster doing that then trying to build your sohc motor up. you'll also run into less hassles and have less maintainece:sun:
