first, it's gonna cost a grip. Secondly when you mention JG having one, are you talking about their HIRA/NHRA cars?? JG puts serious R/D and money into those cars. Now don't take me literaly on this but I'd think the block would be bored/re-sleeved/low comp pistons/possiably stroked?/then turbo. The list could go on for ever but there is gonna be serious bottom end work along w/head work. You need to talk to a shop/garage and they'll set you up.

from what i experienced in the 7 years of being into this i would not try to build a d15(weed eater motor)I HAD ONE, even the d16z6 is hard to build up !!!!!!

How much did you spend on your Gude cam? I'm looking at one for my 97 Civic EX SOHC and the damn sales guy there hasn't e-mailed me back. I'm working on getting that cam, dc sport 4-1 header, pulleykit and getting my vafc tuned. Do you know what your gains were after adding the gude cam?

Can it be done?! What kinda HP do u think i will gain!?

why are you trying to do strange swaps into your civic HB? why dont you just go with a GSR engine. Its an easy swap and theres lots of mods you can do. I just dont understand why your trying to do something thats just gonna cost you a lot of time and money and still wont be as good as some other swaps. Just wondering.

Because I DONT want to have something that every1 else has-- i want mine to be different!! - i dont care! - i want tha strange swaps...

I was doing to do a h22 w/ tha auto-stick -- priced everything thing out.... But figured my car would be in tha shop too long.. soo instead of doing that I want something else that no1 has... thats just tha way i am-- if u knew me from purehonda.. u'd know that i want stuff that other peeps dont have... - I like to be diff from every else... -- if i know more than 3 heads w/ tha same thing-- i dont want it anymore!

I heard today of a dude that has an ek hatch with his d16 on it. Turbo with 20PSI and pushing around 380something to the wheels.. Sick huh?

Daily driver.

you want something no one else has then go to your local junkyard and buy a efi b20 or b21 motor out of a 3rd gen lude then drop it in there forge internal it and turbo it besides closed deck design and all it really needs for turbo duty is forged internals shoot you'd be in the mix with something different in no time:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :confused: :bandit:

the never ending quest to be different.......if it were me, and this is just my opinion so don't get all bitchy....:D:finger: .......anyways, i would like to be somewhat different but not to the extent that it'll cost me a shitload of money........i saw a tri turbo supra w/ 600 whp or something like that.......that's cool, and that a LOT of power and all, but you probably coulda used that money to build up a twin turbo supra to push more than that........:bloated:
