Holy run on sentence

 

b16's are overrated. Keep researching.

 

D16s are not junk. Don't believe the hype about the almighty B16A.

 

First of all welcome to honda-tech. The best tool in HT is the search and FAQ options. Those tools will help you more than you will ever know.

The d16 isnt junk. But I understand you probably want something that is faster. The b16 is a good motor. But almost everyone has it and yes it is overrated. What are your plans for the car. Is it a DD or something for the weekends?

lol...i was thinking the same thing.

 

lol i know right i was wondern why u guys think the b16 is not that great of a motor its 160hp stock i its not bad. im not wanting to go all out its a cheap swap i can spend $1200 for what i just told you i really want a gsr but not going to spend all the the money i just want like 13.5's ima do a couple mods and some low boost for turbo what do you think its all that bad and yeah I love my run on sentences lol because I am at work and I am just typing.

Good luck with that.... there are also motor mounts, axles, seals, gaskets to consider.

 

Any time you plan a motor swap you might as well double how much you think its going to cost.

 

if you can do it for 1200 and have a clean/reliable setup......... let me know. i'll join the bandwagon.

 

dude motor swaps are totally cool.

 

Im in the same boat. I used to hate the EF civics! i loved hondas though and ended up buying a bunch of 240s and sold them all lol my freind was selling his 91 EF si hatch and when i saw it i fell in love with it. i want the B16 swap but would like the GSR. im not big on track times i just want a really fun honda that is responsive! good luck though man!

 

&lt;--- b16 here with itr cams and intake manifold and i am still disapointed.

go 1.8 or 2.0, dont half *** anything you decide to do.

spend a little more than 1200 and you can go with a well built lsvtec or turbo d series or something. you can find an ls block for real cheap, even b16 heads go for cheap. do it right the first time.

 

so your saying go with either the gsr or lsvtech with turbo?

My car was just a Ls with a turbo before I bought it. It was pretty fast and fun to drive. Now that the turbo is off I am thinking about doing a Lsvtec and later going with a turbo...but I know Ls motor do not like to "tach out" so I am kinda scared of the combo!

 

save your money and build whatever you want, im just saying you can put something together that will make more power than a stock swap.

you have many options. do a little research and i'm sure you'll find what you want to go with. just dont cut corners on the really important stuff

 

wut you think I did my research I was going to go with a b16 i guess ive been thinking about a LS now what your opionion on those. u got aim or anything so we can talk? and i wanna turbo and run like 13.5-13.8
