Which swap
 
Ok so I have the sohc zc in my honda now, but Ive been thinking about swapping in a gsr. If I swap the gsr, thatll be it for awhile on the motor, if not ill turbo my zc. Im looking for reliability and still being fun to drive. I know the gsr would be both, and I have someone that will buy everything for 900, and once I sell my other hatch ill have enuf for the gsr, so which should I do.

And please no d series sucks or ---- like that, gimmie a reason other than that lol.

homemadeTURBO buddy. turbo that ------- d. B series parts are too expensive. just my opinion because ive been runnin one for years... would never go b series. hell ill sleeve my block for more power before i put a b series in it. if you got the $$ vtec in the b series is nasty. if not, build a d and crank up the boost untill it blows up. because when it does, its only $300 for a new engine!

Turbo the D. For reasons they said above,

AND it will be faster than the GSR ;)

IMO sleeving would be a waste of money.

ditto. Use that money for a chipped/socketed p06 and run uber or chrome and see if you could kick down a few for a local hmt member to tune it. If you SoCal, RenrTuning is down here :8

But yeah, just have her tuned nice and don't worry about the sleeving. Heck I wouldn't even worry about the piston/rods too much either, unless you are trying to make it some type of shoalin warrior. I assume it's a daily driver, have it tuned for 10psi, I think that'll be enough for you to have fun with it without going over board.

Why 10? cause that's the lowest double digit you can have. :P 10 is sooo much cooler than 8 or 9 too. :6

i have a b and its nice to know that if both have the exact same kit on the b will be faster :P, but having a d and some ---- break its nice to be able to replace it for cheaper than you would a b.

Re: Which swap
 
go b-series if you have the cash. then save your pennies and slap a turbo on it. ive doen both and the b was great, but i dont have enough cash to do another one in my new car so im tossing together a built dumpster d

Re: Which swap
 
Well now that ive decided not to sell my other hatch, B series is out of the question for now. maybe in the future Ill do my dream swap of the h22 turbo in my hatch. But for now money is the enemy, since Christmas is basically here now.
