Frankenstein Swap

Has anybody Done a Frankenstein Swap? Im looking in to doing it. Need some Feedback on it, good, expensive, hard to do, worth the time and money?

there's more than one 'frankenstein swap'...mini-me, lsvtec, crvtec....etc.. try to be more specific :)

Well I guess that is one of my questions also? What is the best one to do? I was going to just do a b16 swap but then i was thinking b18 so im undecided what to sink my money into?

B18 if you are going turbo, B16 for street N/A

my opions

mini me = waste of time and $$ just get a SOCH vtec call it a day

Ls VTEC = good tork good power not alot of work but if you want it to last redo it right $$ wise not that bad

CR VTEC = crazy power and tork but alot of work gota redo the hole block if you want it to last. For the $$ you could just build a LsVtec and be strate

i still dont understand why people say the b16 is a bad turbo motor and hsould be used for NA

Will a b16a with JDM Integra Type-R Cams, JDM Integra Intake Valves, JDM Integra Type-R Intake Manifold, and JDM B-16a Pistons (p30) be good for turbo, and or nos? thats the motor I was planning on building.

Your set up will work, but will not last...P30 pistons are cast pistons and you need forged pistons for turbo or nitrous with of course matching rods if you want em to last. oh, and lower your compression too to maximize boosting.:flash:

OR you can keep the stock compression and have less boost and STILL RUN THE SAME TIMES!:D

So just get diffrent pistons, and it should be good to go?

i want to build a CR VTEC what engine parts would i need

lotsa info... www.crvtec.com

How does one lower compression?

More space in the combustion chamber means less compression...best way to lower comp, is to replace your pistons w/lower comp ones...

N2O is retarded nuff said... Mustang blocks can handle it but push it through a honda block and you are asking for trouble> + it is a one trick show.. Turbo or superchargers give you the extra power all the time!

Who said anything about N2O? Did I miss anything here?

Forcing that much power that quickly puts alot of pressure on your internals. Thus making them weaker and more susceptable to future damage. However forced induction at low levels on stock internals is much safer for the longevity of your engine because the internals are not being introduced substantial levels of boost in such a short period of time. The internals and block on a mustang are much stronger from the start than that of our honda engines making them a better application to run nitrous through. To run forced induction or nitrous correctly you engine must be able to handle the added pressure not to mention the fuel managment. My opinion is that N2O is a waste of money because it is a one trick show that has to be refilled everytime after use and usually isn't pushed through engines that has the right build it to take that kind of pressure thus sending rods through the block wall or having the head melt down....

First of all this guy was talking about building a b16, that engine will be able to handle tons of nitrous, even a stock a6,y8,z6 will be able to handle a 55 shot no problem. There is this guy on this site http://pub34.ezboard.com/bhondadseries that was running a 75 shot on his stock z6. also there is someone on this site that is a mechanic for honda and has a 55 shot on his z6. So obviously it cant be that bad. I think nitrous is great for the money, not everyone has 2000-3000 for a turbo.

yeah, a couple of friends of mine have 75 shot nitrous on their EF's (B18a and D16) been using it for 6 mos. at least with no problems, stock internals. But personally, I wouldnt put it on my motor unless its built for it. Although nothing wrong with instant gratification...

But I also have friend who had one (nitrous) on his VW 16v and his motor didnt last 3 months...

Ok, So if u build a b16a, with integra cams, new valvues, and forged Pistons, I should be good to go for a turbo and nitrous, in the future?

Well that to but its also better to resleeve them so that it won't punch through the block. If you gonna go over 55 or 60 shots u got to replace the fuel pump (upgraded one). My friend was shootin on his 2000 si and he blew up his b16. Now he went with gsr engine! He had an upgraded fuel pump but he didn't have time to install it. Thats so stupid of him.

Thats why you got to resleeve them.

My point exactly... :D

Any suggestions on a good fuel Pump?

Holley pump is pretty good.
