Hey, i am new to the world of Imports but i have grown used to the world of hot rods. my dad builds them and i have built up a 55 chevy pickup that has been chopped and dropped with a 350 putting out about 500 horses. i also have a honda civic (93) but i am going to sell that to buy a crx. hopefully a 91. so what should i do to it. i need a fast car because even though my truck is pushing that kind of hp it is heavy. i have a budget of about 3 grand (thats after i get my car) a friend recommended that i swap out engines. could you tell me what i should do when i get it? all i want is to haul ***!!!!

 

3 grand project..
hmmm...
get ls engine b18b about --> 300
mounts ---> 150
linkage/axles/etc ---> 250
t3 turbo complete kit --> 2000
b16 tranny --> 400
Total ---> 3100.
this is just a rough est.

set it to 8-10 psi tune and you'll haul A$$

 

Yeah you can do everything for less then that if you search for the deals..Ebay is your best friend,,and local junkyards..Turboedit.org(free software) for fuel management.etc..

It'll bolt right in, no need to change axles/linkage/etc. then you got all the $$$ you need for that old turbo thing, and them internals, etc.</TD></TR></TABLE>

did you mean a 87Si and a D16A1?

the 88 Si came with a D16A6 as well as all 88-91 Si
