Ok so I know my VW's And Nissans, but have no idea what the hell is going on with Hondas. Im thinking about picking up a 97 ex civic. Now swaping in an LS motor is it worth the gains and what is involved with the swap. I tried a search but didnt come up with what i was looking for. Also having an Ex that ahs the sohc Vtec in it. What kinda hp is possible for a low budget. No F.I. all motor. Will a Vtec controller do anything really? I have no idea thats why im asking this crap..... haha.. I know it can make vtec engage at different rpms, right? So in theory i could make vtec engage at like 3500 and it would make acceleartion faster. Are there any tranny swap with shorter gears etc that are common? Help me out here I know nothing but VR6's and Sr20's
