I think I got a setup I can live with now....
I saw a decent civic hatchback with insane mileage. They want 4k for it. I should be able to talk it down.
My swap will be a B18C motor. Then once that is done...get a GReddy Turbo kit. I think that (judging from the number published) will be good for about 250hp or so.
What kind of numbers do you expect me to pull on this one?
Also..how much does labor normally cost for a swap?? Thanks!

Re: I think I got a setup I can live with now.... (Slow_ass_4dr)
I wouldn't mind tubo-ing the car..but I am just tired of it. Parts are very very difficult to find...well..good aftermarket parts are.
I wouldn't feel safe turbo-ing the car with stock pistons and rockers, etc. I can find rockers, but I haven't been able to find pistons..or any other good parts that aren't OEM.
I like the "light feel" that I get when I drive the imports. I dunno...maybe it is just me wanting a change. hehe
