i just got it a week ago its pretty much stock except for an AEM cold air intake a pipe and i shaved the heads to give me better take off but what i really crave is and engine swap money really isnt a big issue i got about 4000 bucks in the back but i dont know what i should do an H22a swap or an F20B i can get the H22a for $2150.00 plus shipping and handling and the F20B for $2899.00 also after the swap what should i do to get alot of power i dont wanna turbo or supercharge it cuz i will be using it as a daily driver i got it for 1900 from a dealership not including that tax and all that other **** its got 120k miles its stick shift and runs good considering its 14 years old i had a friend of my brother who is a mechanic look it over b4 i got it and he told me the motor would be good till about 250-300k miles that its in good shape and so is the rest of the car but i need more power so im probably gonna get rid of the motor depending on what u people tell me


thanx in advance for ur help

If its a good motor I'd work with what you've got till it goes, a small 50 shot will do you good, $500 for a kit. If it blows then go for your swap and put it on your h22/k20 ;-) Why pull a good motor out?

 

first off bottles are for babies i will not run nos on my car second a K20 will fit in the LX while that sounds good i would feel stupid spending over 5 grand on a motor when i only spent 1900 on the car and i heard the H22a is super hard to boost cuz of compression so my question now is with the F20B could i boost it easier
