I'm trying to decide on a swap into my eg hatch.
I want something that can run on regular pump gas. I am pretty certain gas it going to get really expensive in the near future.

So, this rules out forced induction and limits many mod's to a NA motor.

The motor will be kept stock except for maybe a lightened flywheel, intake and exhaust and thats about it.
Car will be a DD with occasional auto x and track day.

What about the JDM H22 type S?

 

Your probably looking more for a B20Z, something under 10:1 c/r

 

Are any of USDM engine swaps requiring high octane gas from the factory?

How do I go about finding out what kind of gas is required for different potential engine swaps?

Is a CRV motor a good choice? Seems kinda...pedestrian

 

im not sure why people think 91-93 cost so much... you have a 10-12 gallon tank. switching to 93 would only cost you $3-4 more per fill up. its 20-30cent more per gallon then the lowest grade

 

 

I wouldn't worry too much about the price of premium. I'd imagine an H22 in an EG would still get over 32 mpg. That's pretty good for a car that can be used for both daily driving and track events.

 

Good point about the price difference between gas grades.

I guess I never looked at it that way. If I gas up once a week, with 3 to 4 dollar difference, and 52 weeks in a year...that is less than 200 dollars.

Okay, I'm convinced. I'll not worry about it then.

Thanks for the help guys
