I HAVE A 99 CIVIC EX. I WANT TO DO AN ENGINE SWAP BUT I DUNNO WHAT TO GET. WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST WAY TO RUN LOW 11'S W/ SLICKS AND MODS?
I DONT WANT TO USE NITROUS THOUGH.

ex.--> B20 VTEC, B18C1 TURBO, B20 TURBO, LS TURBO, B16A TURBO??

 

can sumone pleez respond to my question.

 

B18C1 TURBO

 

it takes a little more than a motor and a turbo to run 11's unless you only want to run it once... a built b18c1 turbo with a lot of boost will do it but thats not cheap

 

get a gsr motor with a inline head gasket, turbo, fuel, and some tuning, 11's easy

 

Get a B18b (cheaper than GSR), build it, and go custom turbo for ultimate cost effectiveness. Or forget the turbo and run a large shot, direct port nitrous. Either way, you'll have to build that sucker, get a stiff suspension, some slicks, and some type of forced induction if you want to hit 11's.
Go B18b and use the money you save over a B18C to build it.

 

IMO, its all about how much money, i am talking realistically here, you have to spend. Its easy to say i want this and that. But money talks. If your budget orientated, I stick with the B18B LS Turbo swap as suggested. You will have a fassssst *** car. And as stated, all the money you save not buy the GSR swap will allow you to progressively build the LS motor at your pace. If you have mad bank, hell go for the B20VTEC turbo. Thats be a crazy street monster! Then again B18C turbos have 10's pontential which have been done by many race teams. Like i said its all about how thick your Wodd is

 

Well, the car won't be all that comfortable/streetable so, drop a H22 in it and turbo that....that is what all of the drag hondas are doing....only they bore and stroke those as well....must be nice to have money.

Rumor I read somewhere: Lisa Kubo is running a 2.6L H22!

 

yeah thats a rumor...shes got a b16 thats a 1.9


ur thinking of l natural
