Allright it looks like im going to have 1,500 to spend on my car... what should I look to get.. Body kit or what?

I already have... rims, lowering, intake, headers, full exahust, test pipe.

I have 181k on the h23.... but its all highway mileage..

thanks for the help

 

Do you want to go faster, handle better, or look better?

 

Id like to go faster but what could i do to get a noticeable power difference for 1.5k on such higher mileage

 

If you are serious about getting power put that money towards resleeving, pistons, and rods. Build the motor and boost it.

 

if i had what you already had, plus 1.5k to spend i'd definitely get pistons and rods. Maybe some cams. VTEC control would be nice too. DOnt forget to have fun with some of that cash too.

 

I dont have vtec..

 

$1500..... well, if that's all you've got, your not gonna be able to buy anything that will make a really noticable power difference, except nitrous.

sure, you could get cams, or pistons, rods, re-sleeve, but what happens if you put your money toawrds, let say, sleeves now. that alone will cost you about $1000. forged rods and pistons are a great idea, but you need to re-sleeve and H series when doing that.

ok, so far.
rods (lets say eagle): ~$360
pistons (JE): ~$500
sleeves (golden eagle): ~$850

ok, so there's a little over $1500 right there, not to mention labor, and other parts (bearings, bolts, etc.)

a good set of cams isn't going to give you much, and they are usually around $500-$600 at least. and it is a good idea to know what your end goal is when you buy cams, like if you paln on using a shitload of nitrous, or a supercharger, or a turbo, b/c each one of those will have an optimum cam profile to match them.

my advice, get a ZEX kit, and run a 55 shot. that'll run you about $500, but they are great systems, and are supposed to be the safest on the market., then save the rest of your money and build the bottom end later on down the road.

 

that sucks ...
i wasn't paying attention
you should get some, its pretty tight

Is this guy serious? - honda318dx

 

u can get sleeves iron ductlie for like 500ish.

 

from where, sleevea alone usualt cost about 600, plus about 600 to have them put in

 

i think u should put nitrous ($600) on it and put skunk2 cam gears ($220) and it wont run u too much but could aford it. or u can keep saving and supercharge the bitch! a great place to buy nitrous and cam gears and a sit load of other stuff is....www.overboost.com/obs, they have alot of good prices.

 

The kids got 180K miles on his engine. I dont think it would be to wise to do that.
I say dont put jack into it, and save your money. You could wait untill the engine goes(with 180K its ready), and do a H22A swap, or just keep saveing and by a differant lude with less miles on it.

 

took the words out of my mouth

 

 

sell ur intake headers and exhaust to me and get an h22...
