NEw to the board

Hey whuts up, my names Ryan. im 16 ill be 17 in Dec. I own a 90 Civic HB DX. I have the stock D15 engine. im waiting on my integra type R swap to come in and my gs-r ecu. I need to repair the front end because of the fact that the lady that had it before me wrecked it not to bad i just need a new hood,head lights, corner lenses, radiator suporrt and radiator and so on. havent had a chance to soup it up yet. but it is soon to come. I have a few questions. If i do an engine swap does it matter if my car is an AT and the car im getting it from is a MT? and also would it be cheaper to do an SiR front end conversion or an S14 conversion? And what kind of exhaust have you all found for the 90' Hatch?

welcome! :wave:

a block is a block. it shouldn't matter if it came out of MT car. what matters is using an ecu for an AT if you plan to keep the AT. my old MT si engine is in the AT 4 door :D

ami

the sir conversion is cheaper.....and it doesnt matter if your cars an at and you want a mt in your car....it can be done for the right price. my accord is gettin that done with its swap shortly. and as for exhaust....i personally like the wrap around exhaust that the 4th gens have and i would stick to it in my aftermarket exhuast....choices for that are dc sports and thermal research i believe. may be some other ones...but thoes are the more affordable full cats. if you just want the sound then you can buy from any local muffler shop usually..and get a canister style muff. and custom piping...does the same thing...only less money.

welcome to the board man. :wave:

I am not going to comment on the exhaust since many people have different opionions on the matter. I saw wait till you put the type r engine in and see what your shop reccomends.

Welcome...I did an SiR conversion so hit me up if you need anything when the time comes...:flash:

Damn, I wish I had the money to do a b18c5 swap.... Where do you work? I have apexi World sport exhaust, I like it alot but would rather have Graddy SP or Tanabe hyper medalion... I can hear more engine than exhaust when I rev :(.

WOW.

I think your the first one ever on this forum to have a Type R..
good job!

and Welcome to the board.

he doesn't have the type R engine yet 90civicrider, he said he's goin to get it soon. but a b18c5 would be so nice, *drool*........

Maybe i missunderstood you...........but your D series auto trans w/ not mate to your new B18C(5) Type R block. Did you mean that you are going to convert your car to stick........im a little confused:confused:

Peace keep me informed on all ur exaust decisons tell me what u got on urs and ill see which one seems best if u want leave a link to the site ur exaust belongs so i can check out pricing

Man, you put the engine in already? wow, all i wanna see is pics man!!!! and DROOOL!!!!!!

im smelling something fishy

so let me get this straight, you converted your car from auto to manual, installed a type r motor on your stock axles (not possible) put motor mounts in and got all this in a matter of how many days? .....2 ???? and you are also in highschool? what are you? speedy?

well if your telling the truth (cough, cough) then that is awesome!

Drug dealers make that kinda money......

ok...I'm confused.....why would you want to buy a high compression type -r motor then slap a turbo on it when you could've bought a regular b18c1 which would've handled more boost and cost less and probably pushed more hp.....what a waste of money...B series motors are for yuppies that must follow the trends....I guess...bragging makes people feel good....I bet its fast though....cool..





My DX has never lost to an SI:finger: :finger:

The Buckle is a clothing store... I'm pretty sure they make between $5.75per hour and $7 per hour... unless they work on commission too.

As was said before... I smell something very fishy... I need to see pics in order for the smell to go away.
