hey everyone, been browsing the site for a long time and getting answers to general questions using search. i finally got around to registering...well heres my first post. i have a 95 coupe dx and im financially ready for a swap. im interested in running high 13's on about a 50 shot. could someone please give me all my options as far as engines? im interested in a ls swap but doubt itll get me those times...possibly a b16? please dont flame toooooo hard guys im used to trucks and this whole honda world is very exciting yet confusing to me...thanks an advance!<~~steve

 

well obvousily you haven't been reading to many threads becuz you didnt SEARCH like every1 writes but i'll be nice....umm i say ITR engine w/ 50 shot....or h22 my thougghts

 

hmm...it all depends on how much cash you have. If i were you, i'd get the ITR with lsd and nos it when needed. Or, the same engine with a JRSC or turbo(but if you go with turbo, i'd get the b18b or b18c1 and you should be good enough). Hope this helps, keep us updated with project. h22 a bit heavy but with nos you'll be good to go. Later.

 

thanks guys, maybe im not as financially prepared to do this as i thought (b18c5) i was leanin more towards a b16, or at most an ls/vtec....im i just wishin to run times like that with these 2 platforms? <~~steve

 

also this may help you guys a little more.....i have around 2500 just to start this swap....i know i wont even brush these times on that, but thats the budget i currently have to get an engine in there and running before mods. id also like to keep the interior in tact...i know i know im askin for too much but please help! <~~steve

 

well, turbo the **** out of that car, and perhaps you'll run those times. Is your motor vtec or non vtec(i am not familiar with that year's motor in that especific car) ?

later.

 

$2500 in a coupe are not going to get you 13s.
Save some more moneyso you can get the following;
If you are going to go with a b16 atleast get some CTR/ITR cams and I/H/E.
13s is very possible with some NOS and slicks.

true that, bump this one up. that is the perfect setup you need...

 

thanks eg_nezay. thats exactly what i was looking for...just a base engine that after additional work could get me to my goal....i know ill hav e to spend quite a bit more than 2500 to do it...also anyone care to elaborate? maybe an ls swap with i/h/e and a good set of cams on the bottle?...possible even? thanks so far guys, huge help!&lt;~~steve

 

I know a guy
hit 13s with NOS on LS and slicks.

it can be done.
but I would go all motor way, he later blew his motor

 

my friend hit 13.7 with his ls motor in his civic. he had a 4-2 header, chipped ecu, and a 60 shot of NOS.

by the way... i have a complete 98 ls swap with a chipped obd1 ecu (the one my friend used when he was hitting 13.7's at the track) for sale. it will also come with a focuz 4-2-1 header. the swap has 36k miles and is very clean. it will also come with a gsr shift linkage,axles, tranny, and wiring harness. pm me if your interested in buying it. this way..you will at least have a chipped ecu already and an aftermarket header if you buy my swap.

 

I hit a 14.18 with a 55 shot , street tires. Stock exhaust manifold also . Going to the track this friday(probably going to rain ) and hoping for 13's

 

B18C1 + Turbo.
