Re: Trying to figure what swap to do
I see you have a h22a swap in your 92 hows it run? alot of ppl have b16 or b18 swaps around where i live i just wanted something different and the k20s are just too much.

Re: Trying to figure what swap to do
then i would stay away from h22
f22 or h23 are better for turbos
or b16/18 as well
hell just take your d series, rebuild it and turbo the **** out of it

Re: Trying to figure what swap to do
actually, I'm about to start building my d16 for turbo. I got some help from a buddy and he said for just under 2k I can get my motor up to about 300 hp. as opposed to about 2600 for 160 for a b16 swap. lol

Re: Trying to figure what swap to do
Check it out... the H22 is an awesome motor with satisfying VTEC but it is heavy for that car. I hope you don't want to corner too hard or have an appetite for handling. You may want to concider a b18c1 (GSR) or a K series swap.

Re: Trying to figure what swap to do
TOTALLY sucks if your in cali. Our smog laws are a joke. We can have gas hog v8s but god forbid anyone have an angry little 1.6 or 1.8 honda hehe

Re: Trying to figure what swap to do
Funny you asked, I am selling a fully build GSR / B16 Combo with a ton of power. Known as the poor mans type R. I'm not sure if honda tech allows sales right off the bat with a new membership, and i want to respect their rules, but i'm sure you can wait 15 days. here's the ad http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/cto/1352567120.html

alright only reason i ask was becuz im trying to figure out how much to save up to get what ever motor i do, either if its build up or not then turbo it. i really do wish i could get a k20 swap for cheap i guy around here has a crx with a k20 running low 12's. i live in maryland to long way away from CA.

Re: Trying to figure what swap to do
Yeah definitely too far. GSRs turbo really well too if you put low compression pistons in. 400s is realistic. Bye Bye CRX! hehe

Re: Trying to figure what swap to do
yeah cops arent so bad here yet but there deff getting there. in yeah the guy that ownhs the crx has his own garage so its alil easyer for him, in also i know that b20's are pretty strong as well but then again now my buddy has a gsr thats turbo in hes just around 500hp.. maybe 480 is more like it.
