Default New car need help picking a motor

Alright well today I just picked up a riced out EG for $500 with a warped head. I'm looking to do a swap but I don't know what to go with so I made a poll cause Jeff has a hard on for polls. Well here's the options...


1. D16Z6. I already have this motor I can just throw it in and not spend a dime. The only shitty part is that it is just a D and HP especially boosted is limited. This probably won't happen but since I do have the motor it is an option. Long live the dirty D


2. the LS/Vtec cause LS bottom ends are a dime a dozen. This would also be a cheaper route than an H22 cause I don't need to buy mounts and I can build it without sleeving it cause it doesn't have gay FRM sleeves like the H22. The only problem with this is finding a Vtec head and a good trans


3. H22. This is what I'm leaning towards becuase my friend has the full H22 swap that I could pick up for about $1100. The thing I really don't like about the H22 is the price of the swap, terrible ringlands for boost and the FRM sleeves so I can't use aluminum pistons without sleeving. It would be nice to hit 13's all motor and this by far has the best potential.



Well there's my options so let me know your input and opinions. Whistles go woo

I really want to do the H22 but I'm not sure. So if you post can you post why you chose what you did?

Id go with the H22 man, if you can get one cheap and I dunno if you seen this but Josh made a post a month or two ago about a company that came out with a forged piston that could be used with the stock H22 sleeves, they were close to $650 though

That would be my route for sure if I had a cheap swap available

Pics of the Eg?
