Default which longblock ??

i bought a 93vtec that was running like ****, and not at all properly maintained, i thought i could resurect it by replacing some basic parts, after failing i decided i should just put anymore money into a euro accord longblock, or a jdm type s longblock because after reading a thread by lone luder i decided i didnt really want to get into a big N\A project, and forced induction is far out of my league, so i want to go with one of those longblocks and just tune it really good, main application drag, anyone have any opinions on which motor to go with, i have already had a jdm h22, and i want more power than that stock, and since im not doing internals, i want all the power i can get, and i also couldnt find any sites with the type s longblock, only found complete swap

have you done a compression test on the engine you have now?
what basic parts did you replace.
you could probably beef up the engine you have now to
run stronger than a stock type-s or euro-r for cheaper than a swap.

thats exactly how i would end up spending alot more than i want, and get into a big project, i just want to do the swap, then tune it really well, and i know the euro accord and type s are very simular, and im wondering which would be best to go into my 93 vtec

a euro-r is gonna run you 4k plus shipping and installation if you
can't do it yourself. you can beef up your jdm motor for cheaper than that

i previosly had a 4g with a jdm h22 but flipped it(dont ask), with insurance money i got a 93vtec with a nice body\interior that ran like ****, with the plans of doing a swap, so thats where im at now euro accord, or type s, im trying to get opinions on both of them as far as longblock, i believe both will drop right in my 93vtec farely easy

btw got a quote for the euro accord longblock 2100 shipped, and ive seen the type s longblock for about 3000, but cant remeber the site it was on though

satan????? can u give me your evil opinion?

for what it will cost to put tha tlongblock in you can rebuild your current engine for cheaper.

if you are dead set on spending the money on a used enigne get whichever is cheaper.

thanks i didnt see that thread

btw i called hmotors two days ago and he gave me a price quote of 2100 shipped for the euro accord, gave me some money off because i ordered a motor from there before, and i found a type s longblock on allbodykits.com for 3000+shipping, not sure if its worth the extra money, thats what im tryin to find out, i know the type s has more hp, but heard the euro accord has a little better torque, so thats what im trying to figure out now

euro accord for 2100 shipped, or type s 3000+shipping???????, definetely willing to spend the extra money for the type s if its worth it.

For $2100, you can send your h22a block off and have it built with sleeves, rods, and higher compression pistons to match the CR of the JDM type S as well as having it bulletproof. You could probably have your head P&P too. Just a thought.

if you're convinced on getting one of these two longblocks,
i would go with the euro r if it comes with the tranny,
the gearing in that thing rocks
