B16A3Civic*Eg

im doing a b16 swap in my eg and i have about 1500 left. What parts should i get for it? I also want to know if i could rave a ser spec-v with confidence assuming i do a set up suggested by anyone.

axtran

ain't ur name H22 civic? :-P

i just got convinced into GSR-ing...

civic_driver

make sure to tune it then get whatever parts you can for a turbo kit.. and send me a 100 dolla bill to help out with the groceries for next month.. this is no joke so don't laugh

i say get a GSR rather then the b16 and then do all the basic bolt ons

Sentra SE-"R" Spec V's are a joke. If you're running a stock B16 on an "EG" it should be no problem. Take it to the track.

What should i do with the 1500. I'm asking specifically you because you're the only one that seems to care about my question. You know why does every body have to critisize? Whatever. Thank you very much for your honest opinion. But again...what to do with that 1500?

save it for a tranny when the B16 synchros are gone, or if its burning a hole in your pocket boost it, $1000 in parts + $500+ tuning.

without getting very serious its hard to spend exactly 1500....i mean do the bolt ons obviously....exhaust, headers, intake, maybe intake manifold, but if you get picky like into cam gears and that kinda junk youll blow a lota money for not to much gain. To get serious you can look into a mild boost, i am guessing you want the motor to last a while so look into a t3 super 60 on like 6 psi, itl be difficult to do it right on that price, but its a option.

CTR/ITR cams, springs, retainers, I/H/E, intake manifold, and then pocket the rest for future break downs.

cams springs and retainers will run him probably close to a grand alone....if he has it done properly and tuned for it, and that will net him very few ponies for that $$$

piece together a turbo setup.

SER Spec-Vs are the biggest POS ripoff "performance" car you can buy. Period. If you take the time to research about them you will find this to be 100% true. Thier trannys are complete ****, the motors arent much better and everything else is just **** made to look nice. Im not just bandwagoning either, my friend had an 03 and his tranny went out, after he got a new one his motor blew 2 weeks later. It was partly his fault for modifying it (I/H/E...) but any other motor could have lasted longer. Dont waste your money, if you want a Nissan get a 240.

He didn't say he was gonna get a SpecV he was asking if he could beat one with confidence. I also disagree with you saying that POSs b/c I have a buddy runnin' 15 pounds of boost on a stock bottom end with a good SAFC hack without any problems.

For the OP, I would boost it. It will be the best money you've ever spent and you can find a used GReddy turbo kit for around $1500 with everything you'll ever need!!!!!!!

2.0 b16 use the 1500 to do that

You also can't go wrong with more displacement!

eg2phosizzle

i would piece together a turbo kit with that money...piece it together dont buy a kit...kits are overated...run moderate boost and you'll blow away more than spec v's...my .02

240sx's are good, but so is a Spec-V. They are pretty quick, cheap, and reliable. Any car from the Japanese big three (Nissan, Honda, Toyota) are very reliable cars. My friend has a Spec-V that he races all the time since 03, and he has never had any problems with it.

lol SE-R ahahaha. I took one in my 93 ls with 3 people in my car and 2 in his we bother just had cold air intakes. They are jokes a shitty step up to the Si. But in regards to your question, if you got no smog in your area I would get one of those turbo kits on eBay they are like $750-$900 my friend has used many of those on his hatches and got into the mid 11's on B20 Vtec's. but if youre worried about cops. just do the bolt on magic and a good set of cams that should keep you happy for a while, plus all motor is more reliable. less to worry about

PhatBoy5015

I'm not saying Spec-Vs are the fastest cars ever made. I said they are quick for what they are. How bad did you beat the Sentra? I'm sure it wasn't by a whole lot. Which means with a motor swap, you barely beat him. So compared to a D16, the VQ25 is badass.
