Alright, so let's pretend you're an 18 y/o kid. You have a 93 integra in nice shape, and have 3 grand saved up, but the engine needs to get rebuilt, that's 1100 bucks... So i'm down to 1900... I need the car to last me for awhile... What would you do? Is it possible to do a small turbo application, Complete, no halfass ideas for this amount of money? Or should I just do the stock rebuild and keep the 2k and save for a new car?

Thanks for any input!

 

umm.. b16?

B18a?

Are you suggesting a swap or asking what I have?

 

He's suggesting a swap.

Rebuild the motor, and save for another integra, and keep this G2 as the daily drive, just my .02 cents

 

swap a b16 in... why is your rebuild so expensive?

 

u can piece together a turbo after the rebuild. or sell the car and use that money + 3k for a different car. if your planning a new car anyway then why are you rebuilding.

 

i got a turbo kit for ya, in my sig

 

skip the rebuild, take the 3k and get a gsr motor.

 

agreed .... get a C1

Yeah, my dad was just telling me to do this. Just do a stock rebuild, and maybe put a mild cam in it or something for a little extra power...

I'm not planning on a new car right now cause I can't afford it right now, so I need something to hold me over for a few years...


I think i'm just going to get some stronger rods and pistons with stock compression and a little bigger cams and not turbo it right now. I really want like a 98 GSR or up. so I'm going to save up... then probably finance lol.

 

my suggestion would be get it rebuild but stay away from that shop whos charging u $1100 thats too much for rebuild, or u can actually get an LS complete swap for $800-900. so just get it rebuild or get an LS complete swap or maybe b16.

 

If you do a complete non-half assed turbo job for 1900 I will be impressed. My opinion is 1900 is too little to do a turbo setup correctly.

 

youre not gonna need new pistons and rods for stock rebuild...unless yours are fucked up...

youll need piston rings, bearing, gaskets, t-belt, waterpump, and stuff for the head...

hell, you might even be able to find a rebuild kit somewhere...

 

yeah just buy a new motor.. actually its on you.. its your money .. its your motor.

 

buy a b20 from hmotors for 650.
