I need some advice on my future mods.

I know that there are enough info on OH but not much of them explains

what I want.

Any car can be tuned to any power desired, only money is in the way.

If i had another car then I wouldnt have any problem but since its my only car, I need a car that is VERY drivable.

since some extra weight on boot + future sound deadening plan, I want some more power, but nothing too serious.

All i want is enough power to have time to time traffic light dash +

track 1~2 times a year.

I still want around 3~50 kg sound deadening...

option 1. build d16y

y8 head + crower stage 2 + cam gear + pm6 piston + pnp + basic ihe

Expect around 2~3k

option 2. b18c

doesnt have to be type r as cost jumps up to high.
still expect 3~4k ???

ecu upgrade for both...

Now... I have been thinking about this for long time and thought of few cons...

option 1-------------------------------------------------------

- as I am willing to keep audio so building d16y may be off track?
I am guessing it will still be too heavy.
- will not sound as good as tuned dohc vtec... READ my signature...
- need extra work for 8k redline... b18c starts off from there...
---------------------------------------------------------------

option 2-------------------------------------------------------

-having stock b series for few grand is bit off....
---------------------------------------------------------------



As looks and sound (audio and engine note) is my best interest, I dont

want my car to have just those too. need little more power.

hoping for around 100~120kw@wheels.

basically i want mild tuned type r power for as cheap as possible.

Or maybe neither of them will do what I need?

what really concerns me is low-mid range performance.

Not expecting for v8 torque, I just hope I dont end up having a car

that will eat type r's and gets eaten by 2+ liter sedans on streets.
(lack of torque makes my right foot go deeper just to match speed with
other sedans. NOT talking about street racing....)

I really dont believe in highest power figures, I see many lower powered but high potential track cars.

any alternative ways? cheaper the better.

any advice is my gain.
