i know Hasport has them, and i think Painless might make one. and the LS is a decent motor for sure, and has a lot of potential, but it just doesnt like a Vtec redline (or a poorly done oiling system in a headswap)

if it is a 97 it has obd 2. Obd1 was discontinues in 95. It would have obd2a or obd2b which is better i don't know. but if you want better tunability get an ecu adapter from www.boomslang.us and go obd2 to obd1.

So which motor is better then, the b18b or the b16? Just wanting to get everyones opinion on this topic. Well anyways which tranny is better the Si or just keep the Ls. Heard the ls has longer gears which isnt good for all motor. Well give me your opinion.

it all depends on your preference. they will run pretty close to the same times, but the b16s power is higher up. i like high redlines, but a lot of peopel like low-end torque, so its mostly up to your preferences. and use the tranny for the engine you have. LS-LS and B16-B16. unless you can get a type r trans, because it has an LSD.

B18b + B16A transmission + boost is a very nice setup. The B16 is ok I guess but I myself could not get over paying around $2000 and gettin D series tq with very very peaky hp
