love the site, got some good minds posting here.

i first got bit by the honda bug with my current ride, a 90 Si hatch that i'm selling to my bro for his first car, so i'm looking to upgrade to an EG coupe. i'm no stranger to mechanics, built more than a few engines from scratch. i'm thinking b16 full motor/tranny swap, its cheap and gives a hell of a lot more than bolting on $1000 in aftermarket junk, or worse turboing the puny SOHC devil with stock internals (!) plus i plan to stiffen up the suspension with real sway bars instead of the puny stock ones, and definitely some stiffer springs. any input would be appreciated, i'm not a master just the student.

anyways, that's my story. word.

 

welcome

if you would like the full list of chassis codes, search this board in archived topics for "chassis codes" and there is a topic where I posted up all the chassis codes for all civics

Welcome! This site kicks ***. It has a lot of people who are friendly and they are willing to help. Sounds like you know quite a bit. Hope you stick around.

 

I have a buddy who runs low 14s with a turbo on that puny sohc

*edit* its a stock head/block

hehe nothing personally against the SOHC engine, i know that with good fuel/ignition management anything is possible, i'd just be worried about detonation with that stock compression ratio...and as we all know, det = boom for stock internals, hell any internals. what does he use? personally i like the apexi but it's piggyback, the zdyne is wayyy more configurable but $$$. dunno i'm not a big FI guy...yet anyway
