Start reading. Get the book from Aaron Bonk: Honda Engine Swaps - details everything involved in almost any swap you can imagine. It can help you decide how far you want to go, and how fast/expensive you want the end result to be. You could simply put in a d16 non vetec, and drive it like that, and its as simple as can be, but not very powerful. you could do a zc swap, which is only a little harder, and a bit more expensive, or go up to a B or H series, or even a K series if you have lotsa cash and mad skills...How much time/money/effort do you want to put into your car?

 

well its an all out spl car that i like to drive regularly cause gas mileage is incredible, id like to do something with some power that can atleast maintain speed goin up hills with all the weight in the back end. and where do i get this book your talkin about. Thanks
