97 civic project(deep sleep) NEW YORK
Goals: flat blacked out DD with 350+whp
Base budget:NO COSMETICS $4000
budget tracking
Shell:$1000

power plant as of now sohc broken rod.

any suggestions on best bang for your buck swap to start with? will work on the power after i get the car up and running.

 

Boosted GSR. Or K Series, will always please the soul.

 

B18B1 Boost & GSR Tranny

 

Your d series is another man's type R... Seriously... Everyone that comes into this thread will recommend something different. Do your homework and build it however the hell YOU want it. Don't ask us to plan your build for you.

 

he doesn't have a D series he said he bought a shell... that has a thrown rod

 

Cost $1000

 

I wouldnt have paid a grand for that, but thats just me. Im aware that it has a thrown rod... I'm just saying... Everyone has their opinions on engines, so you shouldnt take someones opinion to realize that its not what you expected....

 

Damn i want those tail lights you have on your four door ive been looking for them forever...

 

Good luck to you, if you want power, the cheapest way is an h series with boost. K series will cost you about 6-8K+ before boost. Around here you can get a complete h series swap for under 2k. Its a little heavier but you do have a four door. If you piece your parts together price wise i bet you could have a boosted h-series that meets your hp goals for around 4k.

 

OK the choice has been made platform one will be a boosted D series.
ECONO-power

now to find a donor motor
what would be a good price range to stay in for a donor? im in newyork
and what engine code would be best for boost.
i have heard that the stock rods are limited and a 440cc injector will be reaching top duty cycle for the 300 mark.
im looking to possible build the block thats in the car if the damage inside isnt to bad.

 

make a offer with trade of your old lights.im going for sleeper cosmetics mean nothing to me.
besure to include freight to ship them.
