I want to swap out the motor in my 2000 hb with something with some more power. I am looking at a b16a2 from an Si and a b16b JDM type R. For the price of the type r motor I can get a b16a2 and a vortech supercharger or turbo kit that should put out more power ( I also live at 6500 ft and was thinking that some forced induction would help me over come the altitude problems). Why is the type r motor swap such a popular one when you can do the other swap for the same or less money. Is ther a reason that I should do the JDM type r over a JDM b16a2 with forced induction? I know that the type r motor puts out more total power but the30 or so hp differnece doesn't seep worth the extra expense espically when put next to a forced induction option. Also I live in the desert and want to retain my ac. Will the compressor/ac system I currently have in my car bolt on to either of these motors? I obviously want ot save as much mony as possible but I also want to do the job right the first time.
