Hiya.. I'm somewhat new to the board, but planing a minime swap for this week(hopefully) in my EX ef- theres a few on the board putting down mid to low 15's in the 1/4. I'd have to say it really depends on the condition of the head though. I'm hoping to get below 16 with my sedan (H/E.. no intake yet though) I'll keep everyone posted on my progress!

 

thnx i run 17.6 right now..lol anyhing under 16 would be sweet, would like to flow enough air to have a good intake sound when i get on it..lol more posts..

 

I would invest in an entire new(er) engine. Racing that D15B1 with over 220k miles is rather risky. The Si (D16A6) swap would be a good swap for somewhat cheap. There is a little work to it though. Its not too bad.... Another major upgrade would a 5 speed tranny, even if it is the DX (however I would recommend staying away from the HF; if those were even available in Canada) You've done your homework, I'll grant you that. And you can never research too much. Find out which motor you would want and which motor would best suit your needs/wants. Good luck.

 

bah, get a LS motor, and peice a turbo kit together.. you won't regret it

 

sohc vtec swap and turbo
