Re: engine swap

Your friend doesn't know what he's talking about. The B16a is a DOHC engine, not SOHC. And the GS-R engine (as well as the Type R engine) are more powerful than the b16a. And they don't break down easy, as long as you do the regular maintenance on them, just like any other engine. Skip the Type R engine because it has high compression and won't be as reliable with boost. But whatever engine you go with, make sure to get it professionally tuned if you're going to really boost it.
