why not spend the money and put something like a b20b in and just get the tq.
Weld some mounts and get the axels done. Other than that you'll be at 160hp/133 tq and thats just stock.

 

Why not just buy a used mid-90's Civic for $1k and do a K20 swap? Because you want to drive an xB and don't want to mess with a motor swap.

swartz said he wanted a reliable build and didn't have 10k lying around. Doing a custom swap w/ new mounts, drive axles, trans. and most likely suspension, frame rail, possibly firewall, no ABS, no trac. control, no airbags, possibly no A/C to get it to fit doesn't exactly fit the reliability or cheap category. N/A on the 1NZ-FE is a waste of $$ IMO because the $/HP ratio is so much higher and less overall gains can be made, only so much air can be sucked down without blower.

Swartz, F/I is pretty reliable in the xB, you can run the Blitz or PE supercharger without needing adjustment, and the Greddy turbo on factory boost levels is a work horse. New oil line is the only thing I'd recommend and don't go over 5 psi on the xB injectors. Don't expect more than 114 WHP, but it's still a 30% increase over stock and can use stock internals.

If anyone's wondering, I had to notch the block as well to get the Crower rods to fit.

 

With all that's on my motor and I haven't done any internals. In the last 8 months I've blown up 2 transmissions and shattered 1 CV joint. The trans in our car is the weak point.
