so yea i open a couple threads bout my new 2000 EK. it has a D16Y8 Vtec motor it is a SOHC, bone stock. i got the car from an old lady. it is 5 speed an a coupe. wat should i do bout a motor. should i keep the motor in it or wat motor do u guys think would be perfect for my daily car, but race car by night. this is a thread to give me ur opinions on wat motor i should get. my HP dream goal is 600hp which i no i wont get in a SOHC (idk if i actually can but if u no its possible please tell me) but i will be happy with 500hp.
please tell me ur opinions on wat i should do
money is not an issue. my parents gave me a 20,000 limit so yea. and dont ask me y i didnt get a faster car already with that money. i paid for the EK for 3000 with my own money, for a graduation present i get this amount of money instead of a trip to some boring *** place.
so yea please tell me ur opinions on wat i should do or should i keep the motor

 

wow! wish i had ur parents lol i got a cruise to the bahamas hahaha.....

do ur research and get it right the frist time and you wont have to rework anything..

thats what i would do with the money..only id put it in my 4dr lol

 

you COULD get 600HP outta your d-series but that's like no holds bars, barely idles... etc.
also I think you'll be getting bad torque steer problems by the time you reach 400hp

 

so ur sayin i can do a 600hp with the d16
but has bad steering problems wen it hits 400hp, so then this car wont be a street car then it will be a race car

 

a d with that kinda hp is deff not a street car. ur talkin a lot of money that coulda been spent on a b or even a k swap and get high hp easier and "safer"

imo

 

I just said 400 hp, it could happen at 200 hp for you.

also it won't be severely horrible, just a hard tug to the left? or to the right?
i forgot where the tranny is.

but yeah i think you just need 300whp and you can whup most people's butts
600hp will be blazing fast... once you stop spinning your tires due to all the tq that thing is gonna make.

 

Uh, don't mean to sound like a *****, but have your ever driven a 500hp car? or even a 600 hp car? 20k huh? Get yourself a B-series. Do research on how to build it. FI fourms for big power.

 

like it matters.... just through money at it... It will be fast.... rich kids make me sick.
20k... just sell your civic buy a jdm supra or skyline.... I hate you.

 

I thought maybe it was a typo when you typed "wat" and "no"...


...and then you did it again, and again, and again. Perhaps spending money on Hondas isn't where your future lies and your parents might be wise to invest that $20k in something else.

 

x2

btw. Unless you're going for an all out drag car... 400whp is almost totally useless on the streets in a civic except in the hands of a very experienced driver... Controlling wheel spin at that power level is everything but simple. But your "goals" of 500 and 600whp as a dd and "by night" lol be your race car... are totally hilarious.

300whp, through an lsd trans all day long and be reliable if built and driven correctly in a D series. B series thats very easily done. And my knowledge on the K swap is very little.

300 is going to be very surprising for a novice driver as yourself on the streets and you'll find that you're going to have your hands full with that amount. Do your research. Check out hooked on phonics. and take your time with your build. Dont half *** anything. Espically with 20K at hand.

 

i wished i had that amount of money buh i got to work on a minimum wage job..lol.well IMO if your swappin out go to a B-series go wrong on DOHC instead of a SOHC.then turbo it out since you live in florida where theres no smog law.(sux for us cali boyz..lol)..a built motor and a turbo set would cost you like less than 10k (depends on the aftermarkt parts you goin to buy)..then you have like more than 10k to use on interior,suspension,body etc..all up to you..

 

I smell a troll

 

wow, you're one lucky ***** buddy! btw my opinion is to do H22A swap and build internals then boost it. With 20K in your hands to mod, 600whp isn't hard but it would be one hard street car.

 

built b, 600hp is useless inless you have hella big slicks. even with 4-500whp youll be spinning like crazy.

also consider other things your going to need to support that power, brakes,suppension, wheels tires ecu ALARM!!!!!!!!!!!! 20k can go by very quickly\
my buddy had almost 22k in his da, and it bearly made 425 on a full race kit and gsr....

you gotta balance it out performance and looks....

by the way how old are you??? this is alot of power for a kid
never mind, i see that your 17.

 

he's 17!?!?!?!??!!?

fml i hate my rents lmao

 

^^ yep...
ah, i had, a 459hp eg hatch, when i was 17, my dad and i built it,
my insurance is trash now.

 

yea i see from all the comments that i should go with a b series motor. and trash the d16 motor that i have. also i see that 600hp is crazy and useless for a dd. so i think i will settle on 400, but if i get close to 500 i will be happy.
thanks to all for the help. i really appreciate it
now can i get 300 or close to 400 out of my D16? and i buy a LSD tranny to go with rite.
and my civic will be badass. is that wat ppl r saying that i can do if i kept tha D16

 

turbo would be the only way to go if you wanted to get that power outta a d..

so i would do alot of resarch first. i know a good turbod forum thats all they do and talk about is turboing single cams that you could get a lot of info from but i dont know how the ppl here would feel if i was sending thier users elsewhere lol

 

wat size would be perfect for my goals for the SOHC
also idc wat other ppl think. so yea tell me were this forum is so i can talk to them bout my options
but yea thanks man for ur help and info
i think i have made a desision.

 

this really sucks to hear..
but yeah k series is the way to go
promise u that only if u deal with the right people tho..
k24 with k20a head ur str8 haha
my dream build

 

K series more expensive out of the box. Might at well by a b series fully build it and spend less in the began and more at the end

 

i know and seen a dude here locally with a k20/k24 hatch runnin 11.7@ 114mph 1.6 60ft

ALL MOTOR!!!!!

thats what i call doin work! lol
