blown motor

i had a 1993 civic ex that i had a header, and akimoto intake, and a full thermal r&d cat back exhaust...but i blew the motor. i have a bout $5000.00 to spend... and i want to know what to spend it on motor wise.
thanks-

Well if I were with you I would swap a b18c1 or b16. Those motors will take care of you and are way more reliable and there aftermarket is unbelivable, that is what I would go with.

how'd you blow it?

i was racing my friends hooked up neon ACR, and i was shifting at 8000rpms (i had a performance chip) and the car had 127000 miles on it, and all 4 gears were tapped going into 5th, and i threw a rod bearing. man was it nasty- needless to say, one more win under the belt, but a blown motor. definately not worth it.

sure....

id go with a gsr engine swap;)

why not go all out on a d16 for 1500 and spend the rest on nice revhard turbo kit??

Theres a reason why the redline on an EX is 7200, not 8K

I would say probbly a b18c1 either way my motor has 127k and still runs strong be careful with those chips!

What did you do with the motor?
