im screwed ma engine is done timeing belt broke n now i dont know what to do dun really have that much money im covered 750 for 3 years and they tell me ma stock engine be 2000 to get n put in which is bullshit. should i juss get the stock ls engine n later go LS/VTEC or b16a2 which would be cheaper?

whoa whoa whoa there
explain this one when your chilled out i can't understand this gibberish at all

basically need engine want to take the cheapest route to get most power do i A) go wit stock ls engine n go Ls/vtec or B) get b16a engine.

cheapest find ls in junkyard
if you know what your doign an lsvtec will be best.
first hand speaking b16s are overhyped.

His engine is gone, because his t-belt broke. He's got $750 to work with, to get a new motor. He wants to know if he should get another b18a and put the vtec head on it or get a b16a, and which of those 2 choices would be cheaper to do.

BTW - The b16a2 is a '99-'00 Civic Si motor. Do you mean the jdm b16a SiR2?

I would imagine he meant usdm b16a. If he has $750 to work with..you conclude that. Anyway, wanting to build something from cheap instantly with lots of power needs a little rewording. Personally, I would just go with the LS to get me by. You can find a complete LS longblock for $300. Maybe I'm being biased all of a sudden because now that I have two extra LS longblocks in my garage, I am about to dump one into an EF. Shouldn't cost much, just need motor mounts.
