but i just thought about it and im baiscaly gonna get that car becasue my nextdoor neghbor has a civic for sale

[Ace$nyper]

I'd agree with Green A GSR is your best bet.

As building LSVTEC = lots of skills or money to a good shop if you even have one nearby.

While pretty much anyone can get a GSR swap and install if not any shop could do it for you.

c1 is a great motor to work with too

[Greenblurr93]

You also have the JDM type R K2O with 220hp which I think has an 8400 rev limit. I don't know the torque but it is most likely around the same, probably 143lbs, and compression is like 11:1

hmotorsonline.com sells JDM K20's for 5500 + tax + shipping. Good way to go naturally aspirated, a K20A with a CAI and some tuning can make 210 WHP, with a ported head, cams, and full exhaust 240 WHP is not unheard of. Hasport has everything you need to finish the swap.

go to that site very interesting video clip... hatchie with a k20 stock internals stock ecu beats the shit out of a 02 evo8 at 22 psi. very interesting...

[CivicSpoon]

that is insane. he whooped that evo's ass.

ls/vtec with pr3 pistons and basic boltons=220whp. Don't get a K-series motor. The b-series has more parts and is tried and proven. And cheaper for that matter. Don't get an ls/vtec. I have one and it's a great motor, but there is no possibilty in getting it to pass smog unless you get it done illegally. My friend just got a b18c1 in his 92 hatch legalized. That is kickass. Go with a b18c1 or better yet a c5. The b16's don't have enough torque and are too slow.

Oh, evo's are slow. SRT-4 beat them on the freeway, and in a race a little longer than a 1/4 mile. I have no respact for evo's. STi on the other hand kick ass.
