Wondering what would be a good snappy swap for a eg hatch.
Going to pick up a shell this month. Wanna make a build a total a 5g.

B/D

 

lsv b20v or b18c

 

Im going lsv b20v in my ek hatch soon

 

turbo or na?

 

what are your goals? would you wanna go turbo? or would you rather go N/A?

 

Turbo would be nice down the road, Wanting to spend about 6k total for the build.
I want to build the motor first. Again what you think is the snappiest b series motor and to get some hp from. I wouldn't mine converting to ep3 interiorr as well

 

why not go h or k series. And b18c or b20v for a good snappy b series motor.

 

H22A Motor with a B series Tranny w/ LSD and diffrent gears whichever would best fit your driving

cost you about 4k if you get it piece by piece with that you will **** on any B20 ls vtec NA than later you can turbo it only after you learn everything about FI

i had a H22A with a Stock JDM Type R tranny from a 2001 Type R and i loved it so fast in an EG

 

this was going to be my suggestion. h22 are good N/A motors. an h22 with a b series tranny (H2B) is an excellent choice. do some research on this and get to it

 

if you wanna go turbo or plan do down the road get a gsr b18c, great swap for boost if thats what you plan to do

 

If you do go h22, you can still turbo down the road. Stupid fun to drive. Had one in a crx loved it.

 

The H22 will be a pain in the *** to build though, since it has FRM sleeves. K swaps take a good bit of cash to do anything serious with.

Just go with a B16 or B18 swap. It'll be a lot simpler to build down the road, and they can handle a fair bit of boost on the factory internals before you have to worry about upgrading.

 

J-series or would that be too far out of your budget?

 

b16's are gutless and b18's compared to a H22 is crap you can make power on a stock H22 Block FRM sleeves are not as strong but you can still boost the motor and make power you have to realize 200whp in a EG hatch is a lot of power and its fast trust me i will never drive a honda with 450whp again its scary... 300WHP is really the best power for street driving

 

Go with a g23 swap a little work but it's worth it in the end, do a lot of homework

 

on everything

 

J swap. I did mine for $3600. Still need the aem ems2 to make it run full steam.

 

Go K swap. K24A1/K20A2 in the near future. Good for a N/a Build and quick 250-300 with bolt ons.

 

I'm sure it will be pretty exciting in my 6th gen

 

bullshit. ur retarded. u show me one k20a2 with just bolts ons making 250-300hp...ur full of ****

 

That's not really the point of the thread now is it? BTW. A turbo bolts on.

 

A k24/k20 hybrid with a seriously good header, 3" exhaust, intake manifold, and intake with velocity stack could very reasonably get 250whp+ on a good tune.

300hp probably pushing it without a solid set of cams, but 250? h2b's get 230whp with bolt ons all the time.

 

Oh yeah it will be your hatch is sexy all it needs is the motor and it should be set and than ill trade you my DD civic jk

I'm thinking about going H2B in this car too idk yet though

why are you even speaking without knowing the facts, 300 no 250 yes... seriously read the posts the right way

 

is this with a 6-speed MT? i heard those can be a bitch to source.

 

a quick cheap swap would be a ls motor... if you have money and time, the list goes on
