Thanks for the input guys, i guess ill go with the d-series, since my mom will pay for that i can save for strong internals.
As for the turbocharger, ill take more pics when my brother gets home so u can see it. Its really rusty though, i want to take it somewhere to see if its worth ANYthing.

If shes willing then i dont care, i save/pay for stuff myself, im not really dependent on my mom for anything. I bought my first car by myself, payed insurance, gas, and had money for food and other crap.
chillout mang.
wow.. Sounds like that was lots of fun!I think you and I are completely different. What I'm curious about is how you work 2 jobs, and are even letting your mother pay for it. I'm 19 and I half support my family of me, my mom, and my little brother. Mom's always will offer even if they're not willing, so learn to take your dual-job income and do something yourself, because THAT, builds character. When you're in highschool, working 50+ hours a week, and paying half of your mothers bills and declining her offers to buy your every wish, thats when you display some character.
And lets see: I bought all 5 of my cars myself, 1 by 1. I pay/paid insurance on all of them. I pay for my own gas, and put gas in my moms tank if I see she's low. I do most of the grocery shopping for my family. Plus my other crap.
Anything else?
I think I was gritting my teeth the entire time typing it.wow.. Sounds like that was lots of fun!
I just say throw that engine in yourself . You at least learn something out of the money spent and save some by doing it yourself, if you are mechanically inclined enough.
Why dont you go ask mommy what engine she wants to put in the car since shes paying for it!!!

Well I'm glad your paying her back without her asking her to, but did you read any of my post or just skim it and figure out what you could flame me on? Try buying a dick, "dick."because she bought it for me, sometimes people buy stuff for other people, try it dick.
Plus, im paying her back on the whole car, something she did NOT ask me to do.
If you highly doubt that I have ever filled my moms tank then I highly doubt that you, at 16, work 2 jobs, go grocery shopping by yourself, and somehow still manage to pass highschool, especially when stated below, you moved out once already, unless you work an average of 6 hours per week with both jobs combined, and your insurance consists of ducktaping yours or the other persons car if you say got in a wreck. Oh, and BTW, today is Thanksgiving, who the fuck doesn't bust their ass cooking for entire families?I highly doubt you filled your moms tank. ever. As soon as i could go grocery shopping by myself, i did. I still do, i went today. Me and my mom cooked hard as shit today, for my whole family. It must of been 30 heads to cook for.
When did I ever quote you saying we were? I was just mentioning how we are totally different, got a problem with that? And as for the cars, yeah, I wrecked my truck, I admit that. Bought a Durango. Tranny blew and it sucked too much gas, so I got the tranny replaced and sold it. Bought a sunfire because it was cheap and convenient for my need at the time, got hit by a drunk driver and got screwed out of any insurance money. Went without a car for 7 months, during which I saved my money and bought a CRX. CRX is still in my driveway, it's my project car, and I also bought an Altima for $300 as a beater. So let me ask you this, since I did all that myself with my insurance in my name and my cars all in my name, and when I needed to I saved my money or took out loans in my name, how can you not pay for a simple d series motor?When did i ever say we were alike? Everybody in my family could pretty much provide for theirself. How did u go through 5 cars in, at the most, 3 years? Thats bad dude.
Like I said before, it's good that you're paying your mom back for the car, I'm proud of you. But as stated in previous posts, you have another check that you live off so whats the problem?So what if i wanna save my money?(which i dont get to do often). I STILL gotta keep handing my mom checks for the car, of which is undriveable, and save all the money i can. Im moving out(again) when i turn 18, this time it will be legal.
And what the fuck's the point in worrying about a b or d series motor if your handing your mom your checks for an undriveable car, when you're moving out (again, this time legally,) and should be worried more about making sure you have your own way to get to school and work so that you can let your brother have his carIve been given her my paychecks for a past month, since i got another job, i can live off one, and give one to her
and pay your shit, as apposed to making your mom cake out more money for a b series, especially if you're supposedly paying half?and im using my brothers car for all this since hes home for the rest of the semester.
And building your DD into a boosted car? I don't understand how your finances work, or how any common sense comes into play here from your end, or how you're going to fit boosting you're DD and sacrificing the time and money it'll take to make it a reliable DD.So i thought about it, and i wanted get it looked at if i still have it, see if its actually good for something. But moreso, i want a b-series engine because i want to turbocharge a civic in a daily driveable, reliable manner.
You can do it. If can't take time to do the swap yourself, how would you be able to take time to turbocharge it? Listen, you can do a stock replacement motor swap with like an 8, 10, 12, 14, and a 17 or 19 mm socket (I don't remember which, maybe both,) pliers, and a cherry picker in like 5 hours max, unless you just take a razor blade and start cutting hoses off and snipping wires for no reason. It's not hard, I promise.I want to, but i wont until i get a daily beater to drive incase i mess something up, which is bound to happen since it would be my first swap. and no i am not mechanically inclined. I have access to a garage on crain hwy, i just couldnt do it, i would need to take time off, it would just be a mess.

wtf are you talking about, i dont know you and you sure as **** dont know me.
Serously, don't listen to any of these lowlifes here. They're just trying to make you feel bad because they probably got stuck with their parent's old K-car as a hand-me-down for their first car. Either that, or because they have had everything given to them by their parents, feel guilty about it, and just want to jump on someone who they think might be a more blatant 'taker' so that they can feel better about themselves. These people are SERIOUSLY full of crap. You have to realize that it is all too easy to just log onto the internet and say that, by the age of 18, you were already on your own and making a six figure income. But maybe when you are only 16 years old, you actually believe what these folks are saying. I myself had taken a break from Honda forums for a long time because I just don't like the kinds of people who hang out here. I thought I might come back again. But I guess some things just never change. I guess I'm getting much too old for these sorts of folks.
Alright, I'm not going to jump on you for shit, but I never said I was making 6 figure income or anything, though at 19, 6 figures would be real nice.Serously, don't listen to any of these lowlifes here.

And as far as the shit between us, I'll take the liberty of dropping it and apologizing, because it's pointless. Your life and my life have nothing to do with the fact that you were curious about whether you should use a D replacement or upgraded to a B, and though I think you did instigate it just a tad, I will admit that I did instigate it a lot, and again I apologize for that. And whether you believe me about anything I've said, makes no difference to me because honestly, it has nothing to do with you, and vice versa, so once more, I apologize for jumping on your case. Sometimes I don't know the difference between constructive criticism and being a complete and total asshole, and now lookingIts not at all serious to me dude, i didnt read more then three words he said back. I might of instigated(sp?) a little, but i dont like to argue over the internet, its completely pointless. Ill just leave it at that, and probably post my questions in a place where somebody will actually give me some help. Thanks everybody in this thread who had some input instead of criticizing me or arguing.
You forgot about the people who actually do take pride in themselves and the work they do.
Since when does taking pride in one's self and your work mean that you have to be so uncivil about this sort of thing? Do you REALLY think that by being obnoxious and demeaning, you are going to get this kid to do the right thing? I fully agree that this kid should pay for his own swap, as I said in my original post. But I am going to leave it at that. After all, personal attacks NEVER bring about any kind of positive action. Besides, this whole thing is really not my problem - nor is it anyone else's here.
