Ok its a 1990 si stock its not running real good and been working on it for a while i brang it back from the dead. But lacks power my goal is to keep the ac (for her) and when i want to drive it i want to beable to get on it with out it breaking. but not to much power for her till i know were she is with a fast car. well tell me what you all think..

 

gut it, turbocharge it, dump it, and make her live with it.

yea she wants to roll wit the boys and she loved my old rexer i just want her to be save..

 

I'd probably recommend either a supercharger or engine swap. Supercharger only because theres probably gonna be a little less maintenance work than a turbo. That's if she wants more power.

 

lol don't do it, my woman managed to crash her "starter car"

high stall + woman = bad idea

 

put in a b18a its not to bad *** of a motor but you can allways add bolt ons when shes ready...plus she will be able to keep up with the boys...

Why bother? Swap a lower mileage SOHC ZC in there from HMO. I loved mine very much and regret ever pulling it out for a B series.

 

post pics of the girl so we can decide if she hot enough to deserve a motor swap

hahaha... slap a d15b in there w/ a sc... nothing more... reliable & damn good on gas + u keep the a/c w/ no problem at all...& keep the si tranny on it...

 

how aobut a simple head swap?

gives the extra power (and vtec) and its cheap.

hows the tranny holding though? does it still got its sweet kick or is it lacking that one?

my gf loves my crx's. i jsut got a 1990 si with only 129k on it! it was well kept and it hauls some ***. the trany kicks so well it wheel hops into 2nd and 3rd. i wont let her drive it tohugh cause i know its too much for her. my hf was hard enough for her

Maybe find out why its "not running real good" first and go from there.

 

well you could fix the disaterous D, drop in a boreing B, or go for the killer K..

haha

 

so just slap on a z6 head and its v tec??

 

Run a search for "mini-me" and you will find all the info. that you need. Searching the FAQ is a great place to start.


But no, just slapping on the head doesn't make it vtec. It will take some wiring as well.

 

If your planning on keeping your motor, or just your bottom end for a mini-me at least do a compression check first to see why its not running so good. Would be a waste to throw the head on there and have bad compression or something along those lines.

Yager-
