SifreRacingtechs#2 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 HEY MAN THE BEST WAY TO GO IS BY GOING WITH A D16 MOTOR AND GETTING RACING BEARING WITH SOME LOW COMPRESSION VITARA PISTONS THAT ARE LOW COMPRESSION AND ALWAYS USE GARRET TURBO BALL BEARING.

Hatch92 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 you don't have to run low compression pistons for a low boost setting. if you up the boost over 6-8psi then low compression pistons would be a real nice addition also not required but you would have less engine stress.

Hatch92 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 depends on what you want to do with the car. do you want a dd, a drag car, or a dd/weekend toy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HONDACRXMAN Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 i just started driving it again because i bought a acura suv. but i want more power but not too much power and yes it would be a dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 something small like a T3 would be good for a dd and some good power gains. Edit: you can always make a junkyard setup and tune that on crome or hondata. a few guys run that type of setup for DD's and make around the 200 horse mark. A junkyard kit can be done for under a grand plus tunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch92 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 i'd suggest more of a lip kit. the mugen bumpers are nice but to find a true mugen bumper and not a "mugen style" bumper is hard to come by now adays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch92 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 thats why i was saying a lip kit is easier to find. most of the time when people are looking for a mugen front bumper theyget screwed and buy mugen knock off's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch92 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 for a 91 your best bet would be to do a 94-95 LS motor (B18b) or do a 94-95 GSR motor (B18c1). you could always do a B18b motor then later on make it and LSvtec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HONDACRXMAN Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 u know your honda stuff. wat about a JDM H22A? would that fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 it can with mounts, full engine harness, motor/tranny, axles, ecu, and shifting linkage Edit: like the 92-95 H22 would fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HONDACRXMAN Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 how much would all this cost would u know? wat is the best motor for abour 4k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 an h22 would fit but that is such a huge bulky motor for a tiny little engine bay. in my opinion, get a gsr motor. then do a few mods on it like an intake, header, and exhaust. you will be pretty happy with the results. if you want even more power, then throw on an intake manifold, throttle body, and a set of cams. and afterwards, if you still want power, then you can turbocharge it. a gsr swap with a couple bolt ons will have around the same hp numbers as a turbocharged d series (not one of the fully built ones, but a quick slap on a turbo with tune and drive build. plus, with the gsr you will still have the option to go turbo instead of already making the choice.)

Hatch92 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 i would drop it just enough to take the gap away Edit: to add on to what rick was saying. your best bet would be a B18c motor from a gsr then your normal bolt on's of intake header, catback and high-flow cat. if you want more you can do cams or boost it with 6-8psi.
