does anyone want to buy a d15z1

D Money

yeah im feelin the H22 swap cuz more power nd torque off the rip, but then agen i also kept in mind what u sed bout the car handlin more betta nd shit with the b18 or b16... jus sutin i need to decide i guess lol

unlikelyhero

well if you want a bad ass motor and dont mind putting in time and money to do the swap you might as well put a k20a in it. k series has more potential in it. that would seriously be the badest thing around the streets

D Money

yeah i feel whea u comin from i kno sum kid who got a k20 in his teg, its an idea but ne idea how much the swap wud be cuz i kno the price on the motor?

unlikelyhero

D Money

aight no prob, i wud attempt it but i dnt wana mess nethin up, id rather have sum1 do it who knows more than me nd then i can jus add on shit that i kno bout

How to find a good mechanic

Visit your local part store. Hang around there for about 20 minutes during the morning or midday when the "shop" traffic is heavy. Watch the people that come in and out. The person that gives the parts guy the hardest time about a part that the guy is trying to sell him that he knows he doesn't need is who you should be asking about your swap.

just a suggestion

aight fasho good looks i think i might jus do that, but i hear thea is alot of bullshit shops who take u for ur money nd dnt do good jobs out hea in florida, but ima look around nd see what i come up with...im the mean time im guna put some my funds 2getha nd decide what motor i wana go with

DwnShftPrincess

you know sometimes a mechanic at home is better than a mechanic with a shop. cheap labor and if they screw something up they always got another "something" laying around the house. and we are very inventive and imaginative

yea thas true also lol my grampz is a mechanic but he out in NY i aint tryna drive out thea for him to hook my car up nd then drive back, cuz he do that inhouse stuff too

The h22 is a great engine but except for the power it ads allot of weight too. The b16 is a lighter, smaller and higher revving engine. A lot of people love Honda for the rpms screamers that they are. Plus I’ve read that the b16 is perfect for turbo because of a certain ratio (forgot the name).
Don't get me wrong I wouldn’t mind a h22 in my civic but I prefer the b16. More specifically the sir2 engine. The car is lighter and they go real fast.
Plus the b16 has allott more aftermarket support than the h22 does.

D Money

thas wassup, so wut u think i shud do then lol keep the b16 nd jus add on to thatr motor nd 4get the b18's nd shit?

jus so u kno im a lil new at the import stuff, love driven stick but neva really got into all that racing shit til bout a year ago

divisii

yea an h motor is nice but as said, lotsa extra weigh & buyin of new non-interchanging parts. H is also heavier than b or k .. which're designed for civic/integra chassis ... which makes parts interchanging more possible. People like the b16 for the hi rpm hp; for a torqier motor I'd go with the k.

D Money

good looks on that... but seein i got the b16 already i think ima start wit that one mayb add some internal parts to it nd a turbo see how it is...i feel i need more ill jus end up sellin erthin

D Money

i got a ? tho...wassup wit the b20 motor thas not a good one to use in a 95 coupe...is it a faster motor i aint really sure?

divisii

you can get torq on tha b16, simply using a b18 crank
... or even aftermarket stroker. That's what I'd wish for myself other than K.

A high torq motor will feel like it revs a lil better in a lighter car ... the crv is many hundreds of lbs heavier ... Even wit just the b18 T.body/header/exhaust & wit out vtec, it'll keep up to a b18c through the first 1/8th of a mile or so, until the b18c can get in its torq range & out rev it.

It depends on what you wanna do dude. If you just wanna chill and have some good speed go with the b16. If you wanna race go with the b16 or b18c turbo.
That way you can race and keep it as a daily driver because you won’t lose your a/c. If you wanna go all race throw a k series in there. Or build a Frankenstein engine man. Make your car go crazy fast.
So if you just wanna have a little speed go with the b16...trust me they go fast lol
If you wanna race build a Frankenstein engine or go with the k20.
The b20 is good too...allot of torque, but as I hear the cylinder walls are pretty thin so going turbo is not as easy as the other B series or the K series.
It all depends on what you wanna use the car for dude.

D Money

so stick wit the b16 i got then?...or possibly sell that nd get a b18??

lol im still tryna learn all bout the diff motor setups nd wats betta than others ya kno...

D Money

im goin race but not full race ya kno...

but eh wut u mean frankentein engine lol thas a new one for me

H-Ridah

A Frankenstein engine is putting parts from different engines together. Like each engine had something good about it. So it kind like making a all-star engine.
Like B20 with a b18 head. Stuff like that.
There's more to it but I’m just telling you the basis of it.

H-Ridah

For not all race go for the b16a2 and then turbo it. So you'll basically have a sir2 turbo. Those things fly. I know a guy with a sir2 non turbo and he's killed an evo and a skyline. And the b16 is cheaper in parts and maintenance. If you have a bigger budget put a gsr engine in it. Not that much more expensive and great performance. Or if you can afford it go with the b18c5..Than you won’t need a turbo. Lol

D Money

good looks on the info...i think ill go wit the b16 tho...i got a budget but dnt wana go broke ova my car lol ya kno wut i mean haha

nd im not goin all out race so that sounds pretty good to me the sir2

H-Ridah

sure..no problem. Get back to me when you but the sir2 engine in. See if i'm right about flying on a budget. lol. Good luck man.

D Money

will do, thnx alot for the info nd help appreciate it lol

unlikelyhero

First of all the h22 isnt that much heavier than a b series. its just a lot more work putting in. rumors that people have trouble revving past 4000rpm, and that it isnt as reliable.

i call bs on that yeah a turbo sir will be pretty fast. but unless that motor and car is fixed up the ass there is no way youre beating an evo or skyline.
