Kelkou Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) Theres a million things those two will suggest to you, they're both civic geniuses. haha. I hate how everyone asks that question, and never gives a budget, or a price range, assuming you're driving a 91, you probably dont have thousands to blow. Start off small, exhaust, header, intake.... the easy things. Edited July 19, 2007 by Kelkou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im lookin to get nancy to advise me on my swap haha. so. not to change subjects mid thread, and i know i should start a new one but itd be a waste, i just pulled apart my z6, ill take some good pics of the pistons tomorrow, prepare to be amazed, if you can imagine a crapty honda engine (metal flakes, and tons of buildup on top the pistons) this is it. Im so happy im getting a b16 SiR II --assuming my aunt goes for this 4000 student loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eg9-civic Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 actually if you are goin to swap the motor you will need to do a bit of wiring, you are setup with dpfi, the 91 si motor (d16a6) is mpfi so you gotta switch some wires around that go to the ecu and you will need a resistor box also. cant belive you guys missed that.
