ok here is my eg. i know its ricey but all of that will change. im posting this for before and afters. i just blew the tranny on my second day driving it and will have a new one monday for 90 bucks. im thinking bout boosting the single cam till i get the ls swap. wat u guy think? thanx in advanced ..















after the drop not much but thats as far as i can go with them tires

im looking for si stocks or rotas

 

let me know wat u guys think im looking in to swapping but i want to fully build the swap before dropingit in and was thinking about boosting the single cam untill im done with the build all i would need to change is the mani right i want to run the single cam on jus 5 psi

 

a little bit of paint and that little EG will be pretty clean

 

paint is a must i know lol but i wanna think bout the swap really dont know wat to go with i want boost thats for sure but dont know if a wanna boost an ls b20 b16 b18c or an h22 which iv herd the h is a lil weak for boost what ever motor i get i will fully build tho im really looking for a pretty fast daily and really fun to drive

 

not a bad start, the previous owner must have been crazy about 6th gen parts for civics with the d16y7, intake, upper strut bar haha

If i were you i would just drive it the way it is and go straight to the LS, no sense in having all kinds of money tied up building a turbo SOHC only to go DOHC later.

 

yup just save up for the ls y waste money on a temp motor

 

i would agree no sense on spending that money on a engine you are not planing to have keep... straight to the DOHC is my opinion

 

ok guys thanks for the input i appreciate it what b16 is my fave but they are taxing on them thats what im really looking for but which is the best one for boosting and maybe a lil nitrous

 

is that f1clutch any good a buddy of mine told me there alright wat u guys think i already got it but still wanna know if it any good i got the hole kit with the aluminum fly let me know thank in advanced

 

??

 

anyone ??

 

if your gonna go boost then get the ls since it has more torque. If you want a DD then stick with your sohc or get a nice b16

 

I agree with these guys, if your set on the DOHC and Boost, I'd just keep the SOHC in there as it is now and save up for the LS swap and piece your Turbo kit together.

 

ok guys that wat ill do i just wanted to have some fun with the single cam till i built the ls lol il post some picks of the tranny swap on fry day and clutch an fly wheel install

 

What suspension do you have now? Brakes? Security System?

There is no point in having a big engine if you cannot stop it, there is also no point if you do not have a good suspension. When I got my car, the first things that I did was drop the car and put bigger brakes. Alarm is a MUST, especially since your going to be INVESTING all sorts of money into this car. Couple killswitches, sterring wheel lock, siren inside and outside of car with a back-up battery, clutch lock...anything to protect the car.

Couple bucks invested for security BEATS $ invested into car.

If you have everything that I just mentioned then good, engine is next. lol.

 

LS Swap if you're planning on turbo.

How have you managed to blow 2 trannys already? My original one is still going with over 200K on it.

 

one only one tranny im putting in the new one this hopfully today if i get the clutch kit today the tranny was hurt already when i bought the car it was spitting out 5th on me and eating sh*t racing my lil bro i blew itstayed stuck on 4th

 

the alar i know is a must and ill be putting kill switches too i already have one and i dont have anything done to the car lol jus in case im putting in a clifford wit proximity sens the hole nine

now on th suspension i was going eibach springs with tociko blues but i dont know just yet id like some tien full suspension

brakes i reallu dont know about i want slottoed rotors all aroung witht the teggy rear brakes any other suggestions

 

wat strut bars to use bra if the brand really matters i have people tell me it dose ane it dosent.

 

ttt

 

i got the b18 ls motor already so i got to working hopfully in and running by friday here r some picks

out with the old





[/QUOTE]

 

question? i have an obd1 hatch and im putting in an obd2 wat changes i gotta do a buddy of mine was telling me all i need i a p75 and thats it is this true ??

 

grats on coming into the DOHC world. The new Ksport Kontrols are good from what i hear, the old ones were having leak issues after a year, their new design has next to no complaints and is running for 699 shipped.

Ill have to agree with dailydriver92 about the brakes and suspension. Before you go dropping G's into your turbo build, get a good suspension and brake setup going. Id say security as well--but i have yet to do that myself :S

Keep the thread going. Pictures of the swap when completed. Andddd take it easy on those transmissions guy.

 

Also-- you mentioned you wanted slotted rotors, From what im told it doesnt make that much of a difference if you're just going to DD the car. The purpose of slotted rotors and drilled rotors is to dissapate the gas taht is created under hard braking, which now is hardly existant. Under normal driving conditions you wont be needing slotted or drilled rotors--but if you want some bling thats on you :thumbsup:

Save your money and get some Brembo Blanks. They're going for about 60 shipped i think, for the rears. And i think about 60 for the fronts as well. There is a seller rolling around in the marketplace.

 

alright thanx dose the obd2 engine wire harness plug right up the that obd1 car harness ?? thanx for all the input
