P.s I am on a budget and 200 Whp is more than enough for me lol, this car is going to be like 99% daily driven, I am almost happy enough with my Y7 but those long gears are busting my balls. I am still trying to decide all motor (so sick wicked nasty I just love all motor beasts) or a big ass turbo (I want lag so it doesnt affect daily driving to much and I just get the power when I step on it).
Turbo = cheaper and probably more power
this engine = Jizz in my pants everytime I hear the exhaust note at WOT
This engine would be sick though

No prob...I have had a few motor setups and have researched quite a few over the years
If you are on a budget and daily driven...stick to all motor
1. Reliability....not just the motor holding together but the little things turbo guys forget to mention to people "thinking" about a boosted setup
2. Set and forget....with an all motor setup there is less to worry about and hassle with...for a busy person looking to just jump in and drive the car this is much better...IMO anyway
Now can a SOHC turbo make crazy power...all day long...will it be easy...sort of...will it last...if done right...but youll run into tranny issues...torque steer and eventually want more power and probably build a B motor...nature of the beast
So...if all you need is 200whp NA...this little gem is the inexpensive NA option...
A proper turbo setup is probably 2500-3000 if done right...you can mickey mouse one for less but I wouldnt chance it on a daily
This setup will obviously cost a little more but the parts can be used on a variety of all motor or turbo builds...so if you change your mind your not having to rebuy other components
As far as the F/H motor to B series trans....QSD H2B kit...comes with all the hardware you need to make the fitment and mount it to your frame rails properly....youll use standard B series mounts plus those in the kit itself
This H2B option is easily 5 tenths quicker than an F/H tranny equipped setup....the aggressive B series gearing woffle stomps the alternative....5 tenths on the drag strip is HUGE...Ive seen little CX EGs bust 13.60's on stock H22 setups with crappy H series trans and that same car would have easily gone 13.1-13.0 with this H2B kit
If you love sound...the NA cars always turn heads lol...even if they are in the end slower than the turbo cars...
The thing with an NA car is everything happens RIGHT NOW....throttle response is alsmost INSTANT and is easier to manipulate while driving vs lag-rush type turbo setups that fall flat without WOT space
Canyons, auto-x....anywhere you get on and off the throttle alot...NA is usaully the better option....
There are simple SOHC builds that can run high 12's on stock block....so it all depends on what you are looking for
I hate torque steer and replacing transmissions so the SOHC thing didnt fit...not that they are expensive but its the hassle involved...especially without my own garage/tools available...
Another plus....with the torque of the 2.0L setup daily driving will be alot more fun without even using VTEC....youll probaby have about 30% more torque available from idle on and even more once VTEC hits....
