It looks like my Honda is in need of some serious motor work. It consumes oil in the third cylinder like its going out of style. So, I have finally decided somehting needs to be done, but what I do not know. I am considering just a straight jdm swap, which as far as I have read and heard it is a straight drop in. I have read about prelude swaps, although they seem relatively complicated and expensive. Boosting is a potential option, but I am having a hard time finding aftermarket parts. Maybe a slight motor build. Although, I can't find many performance parts. With all that said I would like to get out of this for no more than 1500. If the option was a major performance boost I probably would be willing to spend 2000. I don't need a 300 hp car 200 crank would be enough to surfice I am even happy with the stock but more would be nice. Now that i have said all this, I would like opinions on what option do you think would fit me right. Also, where is a good reputable spot to buy engine parts and or JDM motors. All postive input will be appreciated thanks.

 

Just swap another same engine. Go to a junkyard or some type of reputable auto dismantler and you should be able to find a motor for about 350 - 450. I got mine replaced for about 1800 but that included lots of other new parts. Motor only cost me 350 even
