So I recently sold my 93 CX Hatch with a b18b1 swap to my pops to pay some bills off. He gave me his 93 Si hatch, mostly stock with 290k on it. I obv am already missing the power and smoothness of the b18/LS tranny. What would you guys recommend as a good start other than another swap. I could possibly put a grand in the motor for starts. Car is in good shape just needs some love. HAHA. Thanks for any info....JJ

 

If you can find a turbo kit used, Boost that d!

 

Google... It does wonders.

 

Yeah I Googled but saw so many different options....frigg! I was like what do I choose....figured a good forum would narrow it down. i am sure this has been discussed to the nines...thx again

 

I would take the z6 do a vitera build on it and a goautoworks turbo kit i think u will have alot of fun.

 

And spend entirely too much money.

Read the FAQ's sticky. This has been covered a hundred times, which is exactly why it's in the FAQ's sticky, and exactly why said sticky is there in the first place.

 

I forgot to add that it's gonna be all motor. Wife likes to drive my car once in a while and likes having AC. Well I do too...gets hot at the beach here in Outer Banks. THx for suggestions guys...really apprec

 

Will check the FAQs sticky....thx bro

 

Swap, turbo or go home. Bolt on's will get you nowhere.

 

All motor is a waste, you will not make any power. Turbo or swap, and you can keep ac with a turbo.

 

^ enough said lol

 

if its a STOCK si LEAVE it the hell alone.

 

It is a stock si w/ a d16z6 with nearly 300K on the clock. He had a B series hatch before so WHY would he leave this hella high mileage car stock?
DO not go "all motor" with it, you will never be happy. If you don't want to boost it just go for another B18b, however you can easily turbo it and keep the A/C for wifey and be more than happy with the outcome.

 

because 100% stock si's are VERY hard to find in OG condition amd running

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I will prob do another B18 swap and go GSR for a lil extra power. i really don't plan on turbo or supacharge da whip. 180 hp is fine in the EG hatch for me.
