Ok, so that's $300.

$300 more for a good header...

You're already half way to an LS swap, there, buddy.

Sell the Altezza's and trade the wheels, and you've got a de-riced, fairly quick car.
 
You could make the Sohc pretty powerful but it's going to take alot of know how and money and being that she said that her friends husband is doing most of her engine work she would be better off swapping. I have the basics on my dx and I've decided to wait for the swap b/c I don't see a point in blowing more dough on the D16.

I have to agree on that one....my dad works at Honda and couldn't get it for that price and being that they are gonna change the timing belt and all, even discounted it will still run about $300 at Honda (before discount its close to $600). Now if you get someone to do a mickeymouse job on it and do it at home without all the proper tools than yeah you probably could get it done for cheaper.

As far as the H22 being better than the B16, I think you ,misread whatever you were reading. The H22 has more torque and hp but also weighs alot more and isn't as easily upgraded; you'll need mounts and possibly some cutting in the engine bay. The B series engines have more potential and can be ported better. Besides H22 parts are ridiculously expensive.

bill was talking PARTS, not labor.

JUST a t-blet is 60--75 bucks. add water pump, and its like 30-40
 
you know what i don't have to prove myself to you people. I know how much i paid for my parts and if you assholes don't want to believe me i don't really care. And as far as the h22 i perfer them over b16. Several of my friends have h22 swaps in their civics and they are 12 second daily drivers all motor so you people can think and belivewhat you want
 
thats cool if you want a front heavy car that plows through turns like a tractor trailer man. Everyone that "prefers" the h22 "prefers" it because they are stupid and only see horsepower numbers. There is more to picking a motor than just the one that has the highest out of the box HP.
 
Just curious B what would you use for good hp numbers (turbo or NA) with a good setup for cornering ability?

If an H22 gives you a hardon, more power to you. Just because it's the biggest engine doesn't mean it's the best engine. Big engine=more weight.
