If its possible, what motor would be the best choice if i wanted to build it up to an "all motor" 250 hp? Possible for more hp than that?

And it would get dropped into a 93 Civic DX at the same time as a at to mt swap.

Thanks.

Oh, and I'd like to keep it as budget friendly as possible, which i also realize might not be all that feasible.

 

i put money if you just type "all motor" in the search, you'll find tons of answers to this

AND TRY THE RIGHT FORUM

 

Well, first off, trying to get 250whp on all motor isnt easy, and CHEAP, thats the last thing it will be. figure a B swap, $2500-xxxx, then full high compression build, cam, head work, tuning, etc etc etc. it will end up costing way more than its worth in my opinion.

 

Obviously I'm new to the site, so I wasn't sure which forum to post in. I figured since it was getting dropped into a civic, I could ask here, since I wasnt asking how to do the build up. Just which engine would suit my wants best from users who have done it. Then I thought I'd go to the allmotor forum for more info.

Anyway, I'll check that forum out more in depth.

 

there are plenty of cars with 250hp all motor. it is an expensive path though, it takes high comp pistons, cams/valvetrain, headwork, a GOOD header, intake/IM setup or ITB's and lots of tuning. its also much more attainable with increased displacement.

do peruse the all motor forum, for threads like this one, Tbone's 268whp build, and this one

 

its gonna cost you about $8-10K if you wanna hit those kinda #s

 

Yeah. I've been reading misc threads for the last 4 hours. Looks like a swap with turbo is gonna be the way for me to go. Even if i wanted to spend that much money, I should be able to make much more hp with the turbo setup. I'll keep reading before asking more questions.

 

You could maybe get into the 230 range with a b20/vtec with lots of work done to it. but try in the all motor forum yu'll ge more/better ansers there.

 

youll get props for going all motor for sure

but force induction is cheaper for those #'s.

 

just the header i ran on my all motor lsvtec was like 750 dollars


also.
cheap, reliable, fast
pick 2, youll never get the 3rd

Damn. What kind of header did you get? the one I'm looking into is by rage for 650 installed. That pick 2 saying is one of the most accurate things I've ever read on here to the OP: read it, learn it, live it! (haha just got done watching fast times at ridgemont high, great movie.)

 

start w/ an LS/VTEC or ITR and work up the internals from there....

i had a k20 in a 92 vx one time...and then some ******* decided to steal it from me

 

k24/k20(r) build would help to reach the coveted 250 hp goal, but then again, cheap and N/A dont go in teh same sentence...

fixed

 

why is everyone given a hard time when they post something...wow... i would go gsr!!

 

^^ this doesnt seem like giving someone a hard time. we're saying his goal is attainable but will be expensive to reach.

 

B20 with Rs 84.5 Pistons.

Built b16 or gsr head with big cams. It will put you over 220 u wont see 250 unless your really really good or go K series.
