Scrap that motor and drop in a B16A.

Nothing a few custom mounts won't fix.

my personal goal, which is achieveable is to get that lil sohc into a beast. Once all is done would be pushing about 180-200 maybe, forgot to put the turbo on that list so might just hit over 200. But its a good engine and I'm gonna stick with it, unless I win the lottery then its a h23 lol
