ok i cant decide what engine i want to build so i want to see what yall would do if it was you
now keep in mind that i dont have much money wise and i like to use what i have laying around before buying something and if i buy it i like to get used parts for cheap that are in great condition the only things i buy new are things that either are very good priced or things that i cant get used lol
im a cheap ass hahaha lol

lol.. just get a GSR save your self!

89y49rexsi · 05-23-2009, 05:28 AM

i dont really like the gsr for some reason plus i like to use what i have laying around and i have a d15 motor and a d16z6 head laying around along with a b16

89y49rexsi · 05-23-2009, 06:22 AM

i keep changing my mind about what i should do

the rebuild on the b16 only is an option because it would cost me so little for new rings, bearings, oil pump, head gasket, and some stage 2 cams lol

the ls vtac on nitrous is just a theory build

and the single slammer turbo is another cheap build that could yeild decent numbers
just remember any of these choices will recieve a port& polish and a gasket matching lol my friend owes me head work lol so the p&p would be free

yea go for that i guess.. rebuild that engine you have and boost it after.

B16 is ok, lots of after market part, very easy to find oem parts w/ a rebuild engine on your light weight chassis thats going to be a good combination. you dont need to make lots of hp as long as you have the right stuff you can still hang w/ the big boys. i remember this guy in willow springs same car model civic ef 4 door w/ a carb B16 was kicking ass on willow springs lol

Civic_Guy · 05-23-2009, 07:16 PM

id go for b16a too..

89y49rexsi · 05-24-2009, 02:24 AM

the only reason i am thinking that is because it will cost me so little to do
but i am leaning more towards the d series turbo because 25psi would be really fun and if i decide to change it i will just build my b16 and sell the d16 turbo lol i really want to try boost

i almost bought a d16 turbo this time last year. it was hella fun and it was just a bolt on turbo kit no internals at all and it was a blast lol so i would go with forged internals and a built head with a dsm 20g or 14b turbo on 25psi and procede to beat the shit out of it but i am really thinking about the rebuilt b16 cuz it would be fun to rock a b16 with 0 miles

89y49rexsi · 06-01-2009, 04:18 PM

i am thinking about just having the b16 head p&p and then rock it with a new head gasket, timing belt, and oil pump and call it good for now since i am in a bad financial bind right now

Raid3n · 06-01-2009, 08:00 PM

rebuild the b16 and lower the compression then boost the beast!

89y49rexsi · 06-01-2009, 08:11 PM

i just cant decide cuz my starter just went out in the stock car and now i just really really want my power back that i had in my crx im dying for some real power since the stock motor only has 70 im going absolutly nuts
