dude i would just smack his face to the curb :grinno: he will talk shit regardless till u put him IN the place. im just feeling negative right now haha

to run him into the ground:

H22a w/ lsd
75 shot n2o

that's all u need...but all depends on how much boost he's running...just b/c u have a turbo on ur car doesn't necessarily mean it is fast

H22 is a bad idea.

On your budget a junkyard LS with some new rings and honeing, and a turbo would probably do the job.

ive thought bout beatin his ass,but then i still wouldnt beat his car n as far as the h22 ? prelude engines i think they are?? i only have $2,300 to spend..i dont think i could afford the swap :(:(:( and i have no idea what kind of boost he is using i kind of was hoping to get something that i could beat him with that was all motor like with out a turbo or nitrous,even on a d series engine(so i dont need 2 buy engine mounts) but i dont kno much about port and polishing and boring ya engine so i dont even kno were to start..

i think the cheapest and easiest would be b18 with nos. then there is always the labour that adds up.

for me labor is free my dad used to be a good well known machanic till his tumor so he left me his garage,lift and snap on n mac tools,as long as i can read how to do it then i kno i can do it it doesnt matter to me if it takes me like a week to swap a engine,do you guys no any good yet cheap websites that sell all these engines?

well dude theres the infamous ebay, autotrader.com ur local newspaper. but seriously the best way to pick up on a good deal is word of mouth and knowing the right ppl. if any of u guys got any good sites for solid ac's and honduds help the guy out :) but yeah i know what u mean man.. shit gets hella stripped quick where im at and im in PA. its like a frenzy of ppl when suttin rolls into the yard. and most of the time the ppl employed by the yards call there friends and recieve cash for the tips when shit arrives. and honestly DOHC is the way to go if u got the cash for the swap. fuck labor cost!! do it urself man. i got a half complete DOHC swap but im trying to build/blow up a SOHC that runs easy 12's b4 i switch over DOHC "SOHC is half the motor" haha by the way ur getting rapid responses on this post damn :grinyes:

lighten the hell out of your car and add a LS, 55-shot of nitrous(try to borrow someone's kit to save a little $$$), some drag radials, and if possible a B16 transmission. its possible that he might still be making more power than you but the light weight of the crx should make up.

is the ls/vtec the b18 block with b16 head or the b18 block with the gsr head im a little confused...

yes ls/vtec can be technically b16/b17/b18c1 head. instant 190-200 hp combo if done right. i picked up ls block and GSR head real cheap. just gotta ask around.

is the ls/vtec the b18 block with b16 head or the b18 block with the gsr head im a little confused...

both. it can be any head that is VTEC on a LS block; LS=B18A/B block, VTEC=B16,B17,B18C/1/5 head

i think lsvtec is alittle advanced for our friend here. no offence to him he just still seems like a bit of a novice at the engine building stuff. and we have to remember he is on a budget, and lsvtec usually isnt done correctly for around 2k. since hes still gonna need mounts and linkage and axles and all that stuff. I seriously thing the LS swap is good for him if he can find one in a yard or from a friend, then maybe give it a rebuild. And then add a turbo. And if thats still too much with the turbo, then I guess n2o is the way to look, but im not really too into that. And it would be really great if you could pick up a b16 trans liek someone said earlier. The ls and b16 trans would put the turbo D up for a run for its money. Unless hes pushing some serious boost, then I dont think hes doing any better than mid 14s.

you kno its too bad crx meet and civic meets werent in NH lol id just ask yall ta come up here n run this kid all day just ta put hiim in his place i talked to um the other day n im like you no your shyt isnt the fastest n he laughed n said "well it is around here and faster then anything youll ever have" i was so pissed n its not like he talks to me that way but every1,hes just wanna them kids *mad*

dude theres so many shit talkin muh fugguhz in this world. they act tough but never got the balls to say a damn word to ur face. i know a few ppl like that :loser: just ignore him dude. i know it might be difficult but all in all he aint worth it and he will get whats coming to him right? neways dont base ur mods on beating him either.. do what u want and what satisfies you. all the money i spent on things other then perf mods.. id prolly have a 10sec by now :evillol: keep getting advice here.. we will help u spend ur 2 g's wisely later man

I'd wax his ass with sohc and si tranny... all driver... let me borrow some n2o... and if my shit blows up, I'll swap it... LOL... j/k

Seriously, you can go b18 with a cheapo mount kit and some serious weight reduction, but unless you're boosting or have high cr, you still may lose (depending on driver)... quixilver has a b18 with b16 pistons and lightweight flywheel in an hf and he broke into the 14s... not sure if with the bottle? So if this kid is only hitting high 14s like previously stated, you may have a chance. And if he wants to turn up the boost and try again (say best out of 3 runs), you can laugh when he blows his shit up...

thanx man i here ya,& every1 on this site is a big help..

The only place I would recomend getting a motor from is www.hmotorsonline.com talk to Steve he will help you out. :thumbsups: Also as everyone else said LS swap and later on down the road you can always gather up all the stuff you need to either boost it or ls/vtec!

Just get 4 hampsters addicted to crack and put them in your tires with a piece of crack tied to a stick thats tied to the hampster and waaaa laaaaa.... four dead hampsters in your tires, no interior and a 2k motor that wooped that kids shit talkin ass back to the part of NH where every1 says "damn im such a shit talker, i should have not talked shit cuz now im here with all the other shit talkers talkin shit about how i should not have talked shit cuz i would wind up being here with all the shit talkers........ talking shit."
