Default Rookie honda owner (b18 swap)

So I just recently came into being honda owner. By no means am I a new car guy tho. I've had my fair share of vehicles. I'm actually more of a DSM guy but the honda was cheaper.

So I have an 89 honda civic hatch. I was actually gonna buy it, fix it and sell but I came into a B18B1 and a turbo for it. I've always wanted to build a honda so I said "what the hell. Why not. It's not a VTEC but I think the turbo will do just fine. I'm trying to make a budget racer. Something I can drive but have a little fun at a traffic light with.

I was wondering what vehicle I can take a five lug conversion from. I'm not a big fan of 4 lugs.

Also, if you can give me any tips, tricks or hints on doing this engine swap or anything at all for that matter, I would appreciate it.

Thanks a bunch!!

Welcome please look through here as it may answer a lot of your questions https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1508680

I would also leave the 4x100 as you have more options on wheels and better prices.

Also check out the rules thread too.
