My Intrro
Whats up guys and gals,
New to the site. Heard about it from a friend (crx2fast4u). Met a few of you already. I'm looking to soon boost my 98 z24. Also going to be swapping my friends d15b8 cx hatch with a b18b1. The bad part is that his car is currently auto and we are going to try to convert it to 5 spd . Neither of us know too much about hondas so we are hoping for the best . Oh yea, I'm located in connecticut. P.S.- heres a small pic of my car just to give you an idea.

Re:My Intrro
also isn't there something funny about the pass side mount.. like needing to be removed and a manual mount welded to the frame.. or could u get a hasport one to bolt all up.?
btw.. how many motors have you gone thru on the z24?

Welcome I guess Not a big fan of Cav/sunfires. I hope you guys know what your doing cause I hate when people get ---- for there cars and don't even know how to install it or the first thing about it. Okay you buy an engine but did he even do any research about how much a PITA it is to do a auto2manual swap in a hydro setup. Plus I'm pretty sure the tranny mount is completely different than the manual mount. Best of luck.

Re:My Intrro
Yea thanks for the replies guys. I'm probably gonna be starting my friend's swap as soon as this cold weather is done...As for my car and the motors, its weird you said that. I went through about 2 bottles on it, just a little 50 shot and then next thing you know, I heard the loudest ticking noise. I needed new rod bearings. Had someone do that since I'm up in school and about 2 hrs away from home. Came home a few weeks ago, drove the car around for about 100 miles. FINE. Next thing I know, I hear it coming back now. Not nearly as loud as before, but I'm confident its going to rise to that level. I think I'm just gonna throw in another 2.4 (used) with hopefully 50k or so. Then i'm gonna piece together a turbo kit for that.
