EGRacer Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 ok now down to the good stuff my friend. i used to have a rex that flied down teh track. ok down to the motor. go with either a ls/vtec swap, a zc, b16a, b16b, gsr, or itr would be extremely well. also if u go with like teh ls/vtec swap or the zc or the b16a/b16b swap turbo it after you build up the internals. i recommend a zc motor, grredy turbo, bored .30 over, all the internals, ported polished multi angle valve job, racing tranny, raccing clutch, racing N1 exhaust system, and that all i can think of right now. i will try to ask my buddies for more info on the other motors but that was my setup with my zc motor in my rex.

UNC5981 Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 so u think i should go with the ZC, and do you think that would impair the suspension? thx by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGRacer Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 yes u shoudl go with the zc motor. but u will need integra axles for it which is no prob. i will find the website i used to get my info on how to install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNC5981 Posted December 13, 2002 Author Share Posted December 13, 2002 ~ sry typo i meant stick with the si axels, ~and does the si come with 4 wheel disks ~ would the ZC transplant be too hard for someone who hasnt transplanted before, and is there andwhere i can get a book or real step-by-step directions on it? thx - Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 i would go B18C5(rebuilt motor) milled 80thousands of an inch, with high compression pistons all motor, something different then turbocharging like everyone else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..SSR.. Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 If you're on a tight budget, go with this: JDM B16A JDM B16B pistons JDM B18C5 camshafts mild port and polish That should give you a decent amount of power for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
