hey guys, names mike and i own a 93 del sol.

i've herd alot of things about the best honda engine and it all means nothing to me. so far ppl are say the b16b type R ,and b20/b16b.

i wanna know what ppl think the best engine to work on is, i wanna go fast:D

any help would be appreciated. i just wanna learn. cheers
 
Just wondering or you got money in hand and are ready?

If you're just wondering...lots of motors will fit in there but the del sol is pretty heavy (heavier then it looks) But you can get it fast. I say any B Series motor but if you got the money and the knowledge....K Series would be nice...as I dream of spending $10K on a car thats worth less then 5K lol ('92 EG Si)
Or you can turbo the motor you have....if it blows up...you can find another one relatively cheap
 
getting the money, i got no know how, i just figured i got the car cheap mite as well use it to learn, and i mite as well do it right. but yeah i was thinking b series and probly turbo. i'm planning on moving up to a supra if i learn how to do it right

 
it all depends on your goals and budget. but my opinion is the k20a rr is the best
 
Did fast and furious inspire you to build a sweet car?
 
hahaha, of course. nah i've just always loved tuners. and no that i can drive i wanna learn how to make em fly. and i'm willing to put the time , work, and funds behind it.
 
so do you guys think its worth it for me to do up a del sol? or should i get a nicer car like a 240sx or something?
 
All depends on what you want to do with it and where your passions lie. Comparing a del sol to a 240 is like apples and oranges.
 
hahah very true, i dunno. i just figured it would be a good car to learn how to fix up. but on saying that i could use the money on a 240sx.
eff it i'm just gonna get the car i want and start from scratch :D

now i just gotta choose a car :confused:

heres another question, in you opinion. nissan silvia, supra, or 240sx ?

i would through an rx7 in there but i'm not a fan of the rotary engine, and i know majority of ppl are obsessed with the supra, but damn the silvia and 240sx are beautiful cars
 
Supra.

But I wouldn't recommend one to someone to "learn" how to work on cars on.. Its a pain in the ass.

In all seriousness.. Keep the 'sol. You already have it and its an easy car to work on. Do a GSR swap. Plenty of power, cheaper than the type R motor by far, and just as fun.
