im looking to beef up the engine considerably without going tooo crazy. im on a low budget... remember im a noob...

1.) supercharger over turbo? i think sc is better on engine and gas..

2.) Quiet "lo-pro" exhaust?

3.) suspenson? coilovers

4.) is a short ram really worth it?


and anything else you guys want to add.. please help me im so lost
Supercharge, stock exhaust, ground control for suspension, and short ram

Why don't you explain WHY you are listing these choices? Otherwise your list is worthless.

Stock exhaust and FI? I wouldn't. Ground Control suspension?

What would happen if I was to put in a non EX transmission swap. My engine is an EX but my buddy has the All the parts I need from a non ex model to make it a 5speed. Would this work?

Everything will work the only thing that changes between models is the transmission gearing for gas mileage. The overall transmission is the same.

I think you're going the right way swapping to a manual. My car is an automatic and when I first got it, I wanted to turbo it so bad I couldn't stand it. Unfortunately, Honda auto transmissions cant deal with the added power 98% of the time so I just stuck with my bolt-ons.

Anyway, back to the point, since you're new here and I'm not a smart *** like most of the people who have been hassling you, I'm going to help you out. Any manual transmission from a 92-96 will swap into your car. I would recommend letting someone help you do the swap. Secondly, don't buy anything from ebay. It's all poorly made ****.

Get your transmission swap done, get yourself a nice set of adjustable lowering springs and dont run more than around 7-8 lbs. of boost without building your engine for a turbo first. Good luck with your car.

I wouldnt say that about ebay, i agree about thier no name brand **** its exactly that, but if you were looking for a engine, tranny or random used parts ebay is one of the better places to look. eg a honda b18 or a h22 for about $800, and if you look hard enough you can find companies that will sell and install the engine for you (if you need that obviously)
