    how to build ls/vtec? / turbo it?

    To have any honda run 10.9 in the quarter would take alot of time, money and tuning. Not just engine mods will get you there but suspension mods would have to be made to get the launch required. Slicks would be needed because traction would be an issue. Theres alot of things to go with a 10.9...

    91 CRX Motor swap...Little help please :)

    Buy yourself a rebuilt or low milage D16 block and head then swap all your existing parts on to the motor good engine. Such as tranny, distributer, all the sensor, intake, alternator, pullies, ect. Once doen throw it and and fire it up.

    91 dx starts /sometimes/

    Its common for the fuel pump relays to go on 4th gen civics. Ive had issues a couple of times with mine, once in the middle of rush hour traffic when stopped at a light. I just gave the left panel under the dash a good smack a few times until eventually I could hear the fuel pump prime.

    Yeah he has a considerable amount more, I only said what I "saw" and yes this is a track car. I watched that car take off, looked like it had quite a bit of balls. Yes, I want to build more of a race engine. But something still streetable. This wont be my daily driver more of a weekend warrior...

    What engine to build? Undecided..

    The guy I know is running a CRV block with some v-tec head. Ignition upgrades, intake manifold, some really wired looking cold air, Honda s200 tuner is what I saw. When I saw the car he had his lap top sitting on the passenger seat. Im guessing hes a pretty serious builder. Im looking to make...

    What engine to build? Undecided..

    Im not really looking for really high revs. Ive talked to a guy with a 300hp n/a, hb civic. readline at 10k. He told me he doesnt really make power until 6 - 6.5k. I would like to be making power in a lower rpm range around 4 - 4.5k and only reving to 7.5 - 8k. I would like to still have a...

    H23 engine worth building?

    If you were to build your engine for a turbo you wouldnt be making any more power then you already have stock if your not going to put on the turbo. Just do some NA upgrades like a header, cold air, better flowing intake and a good exhaust system. Save your $$ until your ready to turbo your...
