hey all i'm new here
love the site, got some good minds posting here.
i first got bit by the honda bug with my current ride, a 90 Si hatch that i'm selling to my bro for his first car, so i'm looking to upgrade to an EG coupe. i'm no stranger to mechanics, built more than a few engines from scratch. i'm thinking b16 full motor/tranny swap, its cheap and gives a hell of a lot more than bolting on $1000 in aftermarket junk, or worse turboing the puny SOHC devil with stock internals (!) plus i plan to stiffen up the suspension with real sway bars instead of the puny stock ones, and definitely some stiffer springs. any input would be appreciated, i'm not a master just the student.
anyways, that's my story. word.

Re: hey all i'm new here (N8)
hehe nothing personally against the SOHC engine, i know that with good fuel/ignition management anything is possible, i'd just be worried about detonation with that stock compression ratio...and as we all know, det = boom for stock internals, hell any internals. what does he use? personally i like the apexi but it's piggyback, the zdyne is wayyy more configurable but $$$. dunno i'm not a big FI guy...yet anyway
