Very fast, less than 10k?

Hi, I'm looking for a car that will run close to SRT-4's and those types...For less than 10 grand. I was thinking about an early-mid 90's Integra with a B20 VTEC swap, turbo, and built bottom end. The 10k must include all performance upgrades. I can do the work myself. Engine swaps are an option, but it has to be pretty bolt-in. Any ideas guys?

Re: Very fast, less than 10k?

yea ur not gonna find an integra with a b20 in it for less than 10k plus the better option would be to buy the integra and put in an h22 swap. there pretty cheap with the engine costing only about 2 grand and you can find a nice integra for about 7 so if your serious about it i would look into it. Other than that your not gonna find an import for less than 10 grand that will compete with the SRT-4 you'd have to go for a mustang or a camaro

Re: Very fast, less than 10k?

I'm in Arizona, my zip is 85258.
I found a 93 Integra with a B20 VTEC for 3500. Lowered, 17 in. rims and Kumho Ecsta tires. Would the H22 be faster than the B20 VTEC? Is the H22 VTEC? If not, can I put a B series VTEC head on the H22 and have an H22 VTEC?

Re: Very fast, less than 10k?

gl with that fantasy. The only sub-$1000 car I'd find wouldn't be drivable, even if every part was replaced.

Re: Very fast, less than 10k?

I've been doing some research, and H22 Tegs run 12's all day on slicks and built motors.
For around $8500, I could do the following:
DA Integra
H22A
Cold Air Intake, Throttle Body, Manifold
Fuel Rail/Press. Reg.
Big Brake Kit
Springs/Shocks
Exhaust
Cam Gears

Personally, I think this could run high 13's. Am I anywhwere near right?

Re: Very fast, less than 10k?

I have a 5100-lb car that blows away C4 vettes. Purchase price $1800, total investment $4000. What you're looking at doing is very easy with V8 iron.

But it sounds like you're into the imports. How about a last generation 300Z, 240 with goodies, or for that matter, an E36 BMW with parts?

Re: Very fast, less than 10k?

What's your gas mileage like, Curtis? That's the #1 reason I'm looking at imports. If I could get decent gas mileage with a V8, I'd go for a Fox Body.

Re: Very fast, less than 10k?

ok as far as the 1/4 mile times i'm not too sure those are some nice upgrades tho with the h22 i know its a very affordable swap that i looked into myself with my 91 teg.


but this is a fact V8 engine = bad gas mileage i have never seen someone drive around a mustang or camaro or even an old muscle car for that matter and brag about the gas mileage. I am not knocking them however b/c i kno myself if i needed to make an 11 second car i would have to stick with that big V8 power b/c the torque is unbeatable

Re: Very fast, less than 10k?

Why dont you just buy a capable stock engine(not a stock honda engine) and turbo it. Get a Maxima with the Nissa VQ series engine. Slap a turbo on there, you spend 6 on the car, 2 on the turbo, and you still have money for all the other mods. And you still get 20mpg.

Re: Very fast, less than 10k?

b/c part of owning a fast car is making it look nice. and i'm not gonna make fun of maximas but i'm not really a big fan. and plus u can't just slap a turbo on an engine unless u want to run about 5 psi and plus y put money into a car that u d'nt like to start off with.

didnt do too much research. a CRX with a b16 swap and minor bolt ons runs 12's all day. it doesnt take that much. my buddy wayne has 10k into the motor of his crx (b20vtec) and has 280whp all motor. runs low 10s consistantly.
