Wanted a B16 but all i have left to spend is 1k on the motor including labor. 91 Crx, HF. What can i get for that price?

 

dual cam zc installed

 

b18b, and put it in yourself

 

not even a b18b, because u need the moutn kit, linkage, thats $600 right there.
i would say sohc vtec, or zc, which im not really a fan of based on the parts list is of so many different motors

 

D16A6

 

If you want a motor that drops in with no extra vtec wiring or anything, ZC. Are you a pretty good mechanic? Done swaps before?

Or you could always save up another grand for the B16.

 

save more and get what u want

Werd. Get a junkyard a6 and build the crap out of it. You could have a pretty serious all motor setup for 1k.

TURBO A6 is where its at!!

 

Never underestimate the power of the B20. Smack some cams on there and your cooking with steam.

 

uuhhhhh this coing from a DOHCvtec guy. Either stop burning a hole in your pocket and save that exter 600 or so and get a B16 B18 or even a b20. OR 2nd get a dunt dunt duuuuuu I am saying it SOHC vtec like a Y8 or something supprizingly they make power. joking to you 1cam guys

With your budget I would say SOHC VTEC and save whats left for a TURBO. I have a LSVTEC my self but I have a friend that rapes my *** off the line with a SOHC vtec turbo and he has less $ in his setup than I do.

 

i have an a6 i can sell you. i swapped it out for a z6 and i love my new motor and vtec. but if i would have put the time and money into my a6 i would have had a stronger motor. i'll sell it for 350 obo plus shipping

 

Personaly Im thinking of the D15b. I dont think you can beet the price, AND they are usualy low milage motors

What do those come out of?

 

Civic VTi in japan, you can get one from HMO

Not much to choose from for less then $1000

 

B18A and then either turbo it or vtec head it later . I have a B18A I got in trade for swap labor. I got the whole swap for my labor. I am putting it in my '90 Civic. I got AZRacemachine.com mounts, for 325.00. I am cutting the linkage for the shifter. After Water pump and timming belt still under $500.00 More to save for mods. I could put it in right now, but I want mad power. It is getting sleaved, ported/built B16 head and turboed. My budget is a little higher though, it is an all costs race motor. If you can get one cheap enough, It will be the best and most buildable.

 

My mechanic friend moved away and he's the one with all the tools in the group. I'm going need someone to drop it in for me. My girl friend is going to give me an extra $500 to help me out.

 

find a D16A6 at some junkyard...if you cant find one get a SOHC ZC

 

Wait and get exactly what you want. Regret is no way to go through life.

 

I would say a zc,unless you can get a good deal on some mounts for a ls and a good deal on a ls, thats what I did, I got a ls for 600, and some mounts for 500(place racing), just a little over there.

Buy some mounts, then buy my friends B18A for $400 (you have to come get it though). He'll sell you everything except maybe the ECU for that price, and probably let you take most of the rest of the car as it's tieing up his extra garage bay. He has all paperwork for the car. He won't let you take the rear trailing arms.

$400 for motor, trans, axels, etc.
$350 for a marginal mount kit
$ 25 to get his linkage shortened.
$ 85 for an ECU.
$???? for other crap that is sure to come up.
