Help.. i am new! plz read calgary

[Plasma69]

Hello

Im in calgary, i work for Airdrie Chrysler as a sales rep up here. I gotta get rid of my 91 Tercel (giving it back to my dad) and need to purchase just a 88 Honda Civic Si. Yop. thats the only one i want. unless the DX is a better price and will fit the B16.

My intentions? to put a new B16 in it with lsd tranny IF possible. Why? cuz of speed, and i get parts for cheap!! duh! Could anyone help me get a list of things i need to get to get that sweet engine installed? like drive shafts? hmm... unno stuff like that. I will buy everything mostly brand new as well. now, im also confused, i've heard many quotes on B16's anywhere from 1200-2500 bux for one. Any differences? Like i said im very new at this. Any help would be so much greatfull!

thanks everyone! hope to see u on the streets this summer!

PS. I play Paintball too, i'll be at the Nationals this 26th and 27th. email me or something if ya guys wanna watch peepz get shot!

Parstwise you would need the engine (of course ), tranny, flywheel, clutch, axles, mounts and ECU. I'm pretty sure that's close if not all you would need. There's also a place in town that I've heard of called

YOKO

Never called em to see what they're like for prices or anything. But hey it's a starting point eh?

Hopefully your project goes well!

i called there and the engine was 2500 bux, RPM only offered me 1200 for it plus tranny. so i dunno wats up......

maybe one has more kilometers on it than the other.

[Plasma69]

ya could be. i probably should go take a look at them. oh and anyone know where i could find a Civic Si somewhere? with or without engine???? they are hard as hell to find!!! any help. thanks!

You should just check the bargain finder.
Or check out www.megawheels.com www.canadatrader.com or www.buysell.com
you should be able to find one there.

Welcome to the board!!
enjoy your stay

Glad to be hear. and my hunt continues! went through ebay today to get some ideas and boy!!! look at those parts! projector headlights, bomex body kit! man o man... wish i had 10k right now to spend! hehe....
im still tryin to find a decent car, and no luck. i saw a 225000kms 93 civic cx with dents and rust at Brasso nissan, and they want like 5k for it. not worth it huh?

[Plasma69]

prolly should mention that the 5000 dollas for the 93 civic cx, is a wholesale price. which means only i can get it....

still not worth it.

[Plasma69]

ok.
I went for a quick shop today. Which engine is more worth while getting? or differences and what not.

US Spec B16 or Jap Spec B16???? lets say for a 88-91 civic... because from what i've heard, jap specs have been around forever and noone really knows the actual kilometers on it and it has different fuel/air mixture unlike the US spec where its pretty much programmed to be running at our elevation.

Any clarifications are appreciated.

[Beyond Imagination]

Doesn't really matter if you get JDM or USDM spec ... difference between them is the ECU and the compression ...

[Plasma69]

Ok. so now one thing is at ease with me!!! thanks.... now its pretty much down to best price i guess. but i think choice number 1 would prolly still be usdm because of less mileage... but we'll see. i found a nice 89 Civic Si with new white paint job, 4K? still expensive for high kilometers i guess. but we'll see what i can squeeze.
