Frankenstein Swap

[obsidian66]

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?

[marked001]

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

[obsidian66]

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?

[bc4g]

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

[obsidian66]

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.

[EF_LSVtec]

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!

[obsidian66]

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

lotsa info... www.crvtec.com

[obsidian66]

How does one lower compression?

[EF_LSVtec]

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!
