need some idea on it

 

Not sure what you're asking. But you'd have better luck in the classic cars section.

 

idk if i should boost it or just build it cuz i have had a lot of civics but not one this old ya kno

 

of course you should drop in a k series LOL!

 

haha i dont even thank it would fit an thats a lot of fab work **** id be better off doin a gsr swap

 

Sigh...

 

throw in a b-series... hasport makes mounts for them, or you could wait and throw in a D because supposedly they're gonna start coming out with mounts for those engines too...

 

or you could do what you'll probably end up doing and just sell it. after you find out how much of a pain it is to find parts and research along with the cost of the parts, you'll just cop out and buy an EG. if not, i'll be surprised..

what do you plan on doing with the car? road racing? autocrossing? track days? drag racing? just "rollin wit my homEZ"? or hardparkin?.. that should help us deduce answers for you.

 

yeah no kidding... i've seen too many good rexes and civics go to waste because people start tearing them up and figure out they aren't like the 88+ models and just give up...

 

i mean im ganna put a full exhaust on it an i found some harders for it ima get an im gettin a gsr swap from my boy an i found the monts i need there hasport mounts soo ima just do it all lil by lil **** yall will see this done at I A but not the fall one coming up ill be there tho with it but not with the gsr in it yet

 

wait...what?!

 

i'm sorry, what? that's one long sentence.

what "harders" did you find for it? not many are made anymore especially because it's a siamese head..

 

mybad the Hedman Chikara headers that i found

 

That is the best question. Unless you know where you want to end up, its hard to say where to start. The other big question is; how automotively inclined are you? Are you comfortable rewiring 1/2 the car to do an engine swap? Can you weld? Can you make your own parts? Stuff is getting harder and harder to find for the '84-'87s.

If you are just looking for a fun daily-drivable car thats kinda quick but not super fast, you could do a D16A1 swap out of an Integra in literally a weekend, if you know what you are doing.

If you are looking to build an autocross car, then your going to have to find a lot of suspension stuff, and motor is less important.

 

i like to think of my little 86 si kind of like a new generation of hot rods... or like a jap-rod... hahaha lots of garage built parts and experimenting....
