new project what do you think?
 

I just got a 92 civic and have a guy that is willing to sell his d16z6 (i think thats what it was) Its the sohc vtec. I am planning on building the motor up (sleeves, pistions, rods) Throw a turbo on and control it with ems.


What do you guys think? Should i spend more money and get a better engine? How much would you buy that engine for (it has rod knock)? Will there be alot of modifications to make the motor fit into my car?

Thanks

you can get thoes motors for 200 bux, i plan to do the same kind of setup, D16Z6 built with turbo.

Re:new project what do you think?
 

get a B-series if you want to go fast. Since it drops right in your car without mounts it wouldn't cost that much more than a Z6.


Depending on how much your buying it for but I would just start with an LS swap.

Re:new project what do you think?
 

well a SOHC vtec motor could go a few different ways.

and how to build it depends on alot. what are your goals with it. if you just want a good street car, i would just boost it. if you want a awesome street car that could be raped with lots of boost, i would build it. the difference in money here is like comparing apples to oranges.

an ls cost a little more then d series??? all the b-series i have seen are going for 600. Also, the b-series just drops right in? What about the tranny and axles?? Does the d16 go right on the stock mounts aswell?

I am looking to get some pretty high number. I goal is to have about 300 whp for daily driving and for the track run as much as possible.

not around here you cant.

Re:new project what do you think?
 

i figured. ::) here we go again.

the B series will require a full swap. this includes a tranny, axles, the motor, ecu, wire harness, and linkage.

300whp will be fun to make on a d series.
on a B series you almost start half way there.

Re:new project what do you think?
 

what do you mean "here we go again"?

and won't the d16 reuqire me to swap the ecu and wiring harness? I also thought the gearing was different so i will so swap tranny and axles if that is true.

Re:new project what do you think?
 

that depends on what kinda of car you have.
