Swap HELP!

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I've got a 95' DX Coupe, 5spd, it's bone stock with almost 250,000kms on it. I want to do a swap but I'm not too sure what to go with?

I'm thinking to do a complete SiR setup, but have been told I will lose my A/C and my power steering. Is this worth it and are there any other easier options that will make the same power.

Any advice, help or comments is appreciated as I will be getting this done by the end of the week.

Thanks!!!

i would do a b20z with a ys1 tranny. right now b20's are dirt cheap and later down the road you can do the VTEC head. best bang for your buck by far. or do a mini me head swap and junk yard turbo...

Thanks for the help so far guys. I'm not looking to boost it or anything, just put a little more kick in my daily driver. I'm getting mixed reactions about losing the A/C and power steering, I don't want to lose these. I was told by the shop in Woodbrige that quoted me that I would have to lose these options on my car in order to make the SiR work. If you guys know of anyone who can do this without sacrificing those, let me know.

Thanks!

You WILL NOT lose A/C or power steering. If your shop is telling you this then you probably shouldn't get your swap done there. The swap has been done a gazillion times and the only people that have lost A/C and PS are the ones that CHOSE to remove it.

There are a few people on here that can do the swap on thier driveway. I believe zeeman is one of them. Shoot him a PM and ask. But trust me, you will not lose any of your car's features. Nothing major like A/C and PS anyways.
