sup guys i bought a rex the other day it has a a6 motor i put a header and intake in it stripped the car a bit and it runs really good and moves for what it is.. i can get an ls swap for dirty cheap( doesnt run as well as the a6 thow i think it needs a head gasket) but anyways im just wondering if its even worth it to swap the ls in??? im doing nitrous ( cheap and already have it) to whatever i swap in there... let me know your thots plz

 

Definitely worth it, ls loves boost too.

 

yeah i can get one for dirty cheap i just didnt know if the 138hp would be worth it over the 106 the a6 puts down also sohc parts are cheap

 

after reading up a bit thats bs you cant use any stock honda motor mounts to swap it in

fa show

 

you can get mounts for 100 bux and u would love a ls in ur rex. the torque is masive compared to the a6. u would love it.

 

ight guys done im buying that ls tommrow! heres a low down of the project i bought the car for 500$ and it runs and drives great!!! and i can buy a ls teg for 200$ blows white smoke thow...( head gasket maybe..) the swap should be fun
heres a few pics of my rex

 

too small lol

 

ls

 

Look at the FAQ section at the top, should be able to find a list of what you will need for the swap, having a teg parts car is great I'd do HG, timing belt and and some other maitnence to the LS befor you put it in since it is really easy to do out of the car...my LS swap was the greatest upgrade to my CRX

 

I'd say wait till you can find one in better condition though, guaranteed you can go to a pick and pull and get one for less than $200 that probably doesn't blow white smoke.

 

Sounds like the rings are shot, if its blowing white smoke.

also sounds like the entire car for $200.

 

if you've got everything sure.......
but you said it doesn't run as well?

 

As long as the teg you are buying is a 90-91, you can do your swap for around 200-300 more bucks. If it is a 92-93 it's gonna be a little more expensive you will have to convert to obd-1. And before you go spraying nitrous into anything make sure the engine is stable, do a compression test at least.

??? You don't have to convert to OBD1?? hell I have a B18b from a 94-95 teg and i didn't convert to OBD1

 

do it

 

Hello if its and entire car for 200.00 buy it. Even if its the engine is shot you can get your money back off the other parts to get another long block or rebuild it.

 

yeah i went today and tryed to get if for $200 and hes firm on $300 so i might just wait and sell a few of my a6 parts or wait and he might go down to $200...

Agreed!

I say you buy the car and part it out. Then use that money to buy a top end gasket kit, water pump, timing belt and tensioner, plugs and wires, and mounts. It might not be enough to buy all of those things...but it will definately buy most of it. But id do a leakdown test before i did any of that. You might need that money to rebuild the engine if it isnt up to par. I wouldnt risk spraying a worn engine. Good luck man

Convert to obd-1 or get new dizzy/injectors/ecu you pick...
Technically he can use his old stuff from the crx, but I wouldn't recommend it, especially the ecu, but if he did that hes gonna have a harder time selling his old engine

Word i hear ya on that, your wording made me think you were saying he couldn't run the motor unless he converted to OBD1...

I don't think he would have a problem seling his OBD1 stuff to get OBD0 parts if that was the case

 

What kind of cheap bastard won't buy a whole car for $300? You know you could part out at least $150 in parts...
