engine size

whats the biggest engine i could put in a 92 honda civic dx 4 door sedan

Bugatti EB Veyron quad turbo W-16. But I hope you have $ free flowing from your arse :iceslolan

It all depends on your budget. As for something reasonable, you could try your local junkyards for a used Prelude H22 or H23, probably the biggest you'll fit without some cutting or welding

can i still fit a six speed transmission with a h22/h23 prelude engine

can i fit a 6 speed transmission on a 92 honda civic dx with a h22/h23 engine????????????

I don't think there is any 6-speed that will bolt up to the H-series motors. Why do you even want a 6-speed?

duh, its more than 5

I got a stock 92 honda civic dx it has a intake and short throw shift kit what should i add to it next?????????????

Oh geeze what was I thinking ;)

What kind of power are you looking for, what is your budget? there are about a thousand things you could do, but it all depends on your goals.

I want to make it a 9 second car but i also want it to look stock. and still be an every day car

Not going to happen. A 9 second Civic is not going to be anything close to a street car. Keep your car stock, buy another car to be used as strictly track. One daily driver, and the other track worthy.

man it already is 0-60 time AHAHAHA

yea 9 second is a retarted goal for a street car even more so with a civic

See one Fernando Cunha. Low 10's on bias plys, high 9's on slicks. FULL leather interior EG hatchback, it sees a lot of time on the street. No bars.

Doesn't mean it's an intelligent idea. And he's not someone going onto a forum and asking what motor will fit in his car and if he can put a 6-speed in it. If you've got a lot of work done to your car (and not talking about engine of drivetrain) and you know what you're doing; then yes it's possible. But not for some average joe who's just looking for a fast car and isn't going to think about handling and doing it safely. I don't mean any offense to you 92 honda civic dx, but you just need to take the process slow and figure out what you realistically can do with a street car before even thinking about making a 9-second street car.

hes one in a million to start spend like what 50K plus the cars price? knows how to drive like a mofo.

As civicspoon said unless your someone like him *not civicspoon Fernando Cunha or cheese frog* It aint happening but its so un realistic to thre everyday joe might as well call it impossible.

There's nothing overly complicated or expensive about his car, saying it took 50K to build is a bit of a strech. You could duplicate his entire powertrain, if not something better, for around 15 thousand dollars, plus the cost of the car. I'm talking about motor, axles, clutch, ECU, fuel system, turbo, intercooler, wastegate, head work, the whole 9 yards. ANYBODY who isn't an idiot can learn to drive a car with enough seat time. Cunha's setup is nothing exotic, a basic sleeved GSR motor, a PT63 turbo on an SFP manifold, (IIRC) hondata, DSS axles, a quaiffe, and a lot of practice behind the wheel.

No way in hell you can make a 9-second car with $15,000. I do agree $50,000 is probably a bit much, especially with sponsorships, but no way only $15G's.
And anyone could learn to drive a 9-second street Civic, but jumping from a 16-seconds stock Civic all the way up to a 9-second one right off the bat...not going to happen. There has to be some kind of progress along the way, so you're comfortable with driving and handling a car. Imagine beating on a stock Civic, taking corners like it's nothing. Then think about doing all the motor and chassis work to make it a 9-second car; and just jump right in and zip around. All I'd have to say is that you'd have a lot of fun getting the car pulled out of a ditch or towed away from the tree you ran into; and that's if you're lucky enough to be alive.
I personally think 2 second intervals is the way to go. Start with making a 13-second car, move up to a 11-second, and then go to 9's. Sometimes it is better to just work your way up and not just dump a sh*t load of $ into a car all at once.

I never said the entire car, I said the drivetrain. To finish the car all you really need is the safety stuff. Harness, a roll cage, window net. Pair of lenso's and some slicks for the front, some cheap 15" weld's and skinnies for the back. Doing most everything yourself, I think a fair and conservative estimate would be in the neighbourhood of 25 thousand for the whole car and everything. I don't know how you figure a civic built to run 9's is automatically going to run into the ditch if you drive it on the street. IIRC Cunha is running right around 30 psi to make enough power to run into the 9's. Dial that back to say, 14 psi on the street where you make a little over 400 WHP, put street tires on, and it's like driving any civic with a lot more oats and a stiff rear suspension. You don't need to do anything radical that's going to cause it to completely lose it's streetability. And don't take this the wrong way, I'm not saying a newbie who's never done this before can build anything close to a street car that will run into the 9's, but with experience, some knowledge, and some good fab skills it is entirely possible on a reasonable budget. It's when you drop your car off at a shop and say GO that stuff gets retardedly expensive.
