sup ht... i have a dilema, well sort of. I have a budget to work with and a couple options for my motor

1. h22a4 (non SH) full swap

2. b16a2 full swap

3. throw a turbo at my d16y7 ( which is attached to a slushbox)

4. build the z6/a6 motor i got sittin for boost

every option besides #3 means im gonna switch to a manual tranny, which is good cause the auto is slippin a lil bit, but i really dont mind the auto tranny considering all the driving i do every day, it just that it's sooooo slow...

any opinion appreciated, thnx

 

What's your budget limit??

 

b16 full swap... IMO

all the others are good too , just depends on what makes YOU happy

personally I'd go for the h22 because even if you dont modify it right away itll be quick and its a great platform to build on

 

i say go for the h22 out of those options.

 

h22ftw

 

L13.

 

i workin with 2500 but can stretch to 3000

i can get all these done for my budget... got 2 or 3 b16 swaps, for 1800; h22a4 for the same... or build the single cam...

i think the h22 would be good for the tourque it has, to pull my 98 4dr civic

thnx, for the opinions, keep em comin... ne one have an h22 in a 4dr... or b16, pretty stock, what did you run at track????

we should email one of the moderators to start a new forum. it should be called
"what engine should i get for my civic" forum. so maybe that way we can stick to the technical questions on this forum.

 

manual swap and turbo the D!

 

i think ls boost ftw.

 

Turbo - D series. For 2500 you can take your car Way faster than a swap. Plus everyone know boost gets you laid.

 

so i went to my local shop, All About Performance, and pistons rods, all new gaskets, arp head studs, timing belt, etc., plus rebuilding the tranny and a new clutch (this all adds up too quick) is gonna run me 2500... i still need a turbo for the single stick to be quick... so now, even though boost gets you laid, i think i might go H22... help me with my "FINAL ANSWER" lol

 

nah just save up and get a turbo k24 and 2 bottles of nos so your 4 door with z3 fenders and aluminum wing will be hella fass doooo

 

ouch... the sad thing is, i do have z3 fenders... id shoot myself before the aluminum wing though... altough maybe a 3 foot carbon fiber one with a big apc sticker on it...

 

i need a motor too! located in NJ... i say lets just cop jdm d15b's with turbo kits.. i think we will be faster then a normal swap.. im bout to just do that..

goodluck AK

 

b16+nos or h22+nos. both fast. turbo you get shitty mileage and u gotta babysit it.
