I have $$$

[CRXkid]

Just recently a lady backed into the front of my car. It hardly did anything, the bumper is pushed back about a half inch, and the turn signal lens broke. I'm pretty sure I should easily be able to fix the bumper myself and I can order a new lens. Heres the cool part, her insurance gave me $1,200. At first I was thinking a body kit. But I'm pretty sure I could just fix the front myself. I'm just curious as to what you all would do with the money. I already have a B16, exhaust, a dc header, an apex v-afc, and rims. and Its lowered. So i was kinda thinking start building a turbo setup, or maybe just build up the engine. But please gimme some suggestions cuz I may not be thinking of some things. Thanks.

I say you start piecing together a nice turbo setup with that money.

Get yourself a B20 block some burley Eagle rods and some Insane EnDyn pistons and a commetic head gasket and some ARP bolts... You will need a few other things and Im sure it will go over $1200... you could probably swing it and do a Nice job for about $2200... If you save $1000 you can slang the B16 block for like $300-400 bucks if its in good condition. You would end up spending only about $1800 or so and I imagine (depending on how hardcore of pistons you get) you could put down about 220-250 WHP IF done right.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention... This is using your B16A head to make an CRVTEC setup. These motors are VERRY reliable when properly done

good call

With this already said and if you arent willing to give up the b16 i would work on some suspension or build up a turbo kit.

I was told that the B20 blocks were very weak, unless you sleeve them.
Is this true?

You wont have any problems with them N/A. If you descide to turbo, you will need to have it sleeved... I am currently not a big fan of sleeves due to there failure rate.
If your gonna turbo, do it right... Dont do a half ass job that wont impress me. To accomplish this I would start with a Dart B18 or B20 which come overbored, use a twin turbo setup with two smaller turbo's 2 Tsuper60's will do the trick just nice Then add a ITB setup and your gonna impress the socks off me :licker: These are my future engine plans for a car I dont have yet...
