i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good motor to build up for the streets....preferrably with vtec...i have an auto tranny but may switch who knows just looking for help with a good setup and swap..thanks

 

i would go with an integra type r motor. i have one in my 92 hatch and i love it. Its a complete sleeper.

 

keep in mind price though...

well, maybe you could be a bit more specific on what you mean when you say a "build for the streets." i would recommend getting a manual transmission because frankly, its fun, not that difficult to get the hang of, and you get more control over your car. aside from that, if you want some cheap options, ive heard good things about good results from turboing an sohc vtec motor. some other fairly cheap options are b16 (si) motors usdm, or jdm (except ctr of course). for the price, an ls motor i heard isnt bad either.

anyways, good luck on whatever you decide on, and welcome to the forums
