hey,guys i had this car for about a year now.(bought it from a friend).I learned how to drive stick on this car. i want to know what motor is the best to put in the car now the i have about $9,000.00 saved up. a lot of people said to put a B16,B16a(import from china),GSR,or B18 ls with a turbo. i would like to get some tips or some ideas from you guys on what motor to choose. thanks

 

depends on how much you will to spend and your hp goals.

But seem like you just learn how to drive stick so start with a H22 with B16 tranny.

And if you want more power just boost it. Building the block is going to cost you more than 9k. [ include car upgrades ( brakes/suspensions/etc. ) ]

 

to answer your question... throw a gsr in it. but really what you need to do is figure out what you want out of it.. pick if you want it to be turbo or all motor and then pick how much power you want out of it.

you'll also need to think about other things like some rims and suspension and stuff..

the best advice i can give is to search up as many pictures and movies on the net that you can find.. see what you like and what you don't and it'll all come to you eventually

Perfect answer. Don't know what swap...research the **** out of it. Everything has been done. And when you think you found a motor (B18A, B18C1, B18C5, B16B, B16A, H22A, K20A, K24A) research that motor for it's problem, it's good points and there available upgrade. Good luck and whatever you do, make sure it's vtec and all motor .
