Hi Im about to get a 1993 civic 2 door it has a d16 with a few mods now but the miles are to high i was thinking of a h22 swap in turbo it but Im not sure yet any one with ideas would help thanks.

 

b16. cheap. quick.

 

That ^^ or b18
h22 is nice, but a pain in the ***, and h22's dont really like turbos a whole lot

 

I see you have a h22a swap in your 92 hows it run? alot of ppl have b16 or b18 swaps around where i live i just wanted something different and the k20s are just too much.

 

i love it! its amazing.
building another h22 to put in it
high compression with N2O

 

Sounds awesome, im not all about n2o turbos are more my thing.

 

then i would stay away from h22
f22 or h23 are better for turbos
or b16/18 as well
hell just take your d series, rebuild it and turbo the **** out of it

 

alright ill take your word for it thanks for the help, good luck with the h22 build.

 

actually, I'm about to start building my d16 for turbo. I got some help from a buddy and he said for just under 2k I can get my motor up to about 300 hp. as opposed to about 2600 for 160 for a b16 swap. lol

 

Is this in your del sol? In I was hoping for around 400 thats why i was gonna go with the h22. Iv got a friend that has a ws6 in I would love to kill him with a honda just to make fun of him even more.

 

Check it out... the H22 is an awesome motor with satisfying VTEC but it is heavy for that car. I hope you don't want to corner too hard or have an appetite for handling. You may want to concider a b18c1 (GSR) or a K series swap.

 

How much for a b16 full swap on average? I need OBD2.

 

3k~ for a JDM one from HMO. Reliable but sucks if you're in cali.

 

TOTALLY sucks if your in cali. Our smog laws are a joke. We can have gas hog v8s but god forbid anyone have an angry little 1.6 or 1.8 honda hehe

 

alright sounds good but do you no where i can get a b18 or k20 motor for under 3500.. im probly gonna take out the back sets im getting the car from a good friend it has a cf already in f1 fenders but i hate the way they look im not bout the whole ricer thing.. i more like the hondas cuz there light cheap in can be made to be fast if you know what your doing..

 

Funny you asked, I am selling a fully build GSR / B16 Combo with a ton of power. Known as the poor mans type R. I'm not sure if honda tech allows sales right off the bat with a new membership, and i want to respect their rules, but i'm sure you can wait 15 days. here's the ad http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/cto/1352567120.html

 

Are you just trying to get rid of it because it's a JDM engine? =P

 

actually the bottom end is a built B18c1 GSR (USDM) The cops out here are INSANE! i just want to go back to stock and get a little crazy with the suspention for once. It's a pretty fresh build too with abiout 2400 - 2500 miles

 

I would buy it, but I live in Cali also, and im not willing to take the risk, I hope these laws change soon.

 

Unfortunately, I doubt there's any hope of that. They only seem to get worse.

 

I know. Cali sux like that huh? it TOTALLY won't pass smog cuz it's so freakin built. fun as all hell though. soo fast. the VTEC hits really hard too.

 

alright only reason i ask was becuz im trying to figure out how much to save up to get what ever motor i do, either if its build up or not then turbo it. i really do wish i could get a k20 swap for cheap i guy around here has a crx with a k20 running low 12's. i live in maryland to long way away from CA.

 

Yeah definitely too far. GSRs turbo really well too if you put low compression pistons in. 400s is realistic. Bye Bye CRX! hehe

 

yeah cops arent so bad here yet but there deff getting there. in yeah the guy that ownhs the crx has his own garage so its alil easyer for him, in also i know that b20's are pretty strong as well but then again now my buddy has a gsr thats turbo in hes just around 500hp.. maybe 480 is more like it.

 

that's gobs and gobs of power! hehe I hope he smiles from there to china when his VTEC hits. Bye for now
