> _Originally posted by pimpcivic95_ > **i got a 88 i roc port 350 shift kit but i need a door finder and rocker 4 the drive side i blow side ways and hit a tree** have you had any english lessons in the past like 15 years. i look at that and have no clue what you are talking about. i got that you have an 88 i-roc with a multi port 350 and a shift kit. “what is a door finder and a rocker 4 the drive side i blow side ways and hit a tree.” that totally confuses me ---

> _Originally posted by brokeasskorean_ > [B]ditch the single cam and do a motor swap,no use in modding something that isnt worth modding. :rolleyes: forget the fact that there’s a drag all-motor SOHC Civic in the tens…:rolleyes: Guessing you have an EX. Edelbrock makes a plug + play emissions legal turbo kit, AND a plug + play Nitrous kit with intake manifold, so you wouldn’t have to do any custom work. An Engine swap isn’t really worth the cash for a street car. You have a 127hp Civic. A B16 is only 160hp, and the swap would cost you a couple grand. You can find that 33hp difference in other ways a hell of a lot cheaper than $2000. If you want to make your car feel fast, upgrade the suspension first. A good suspension lets you take turns faster + with more confidence. It’ll also make sure your car is well-prepared for adding power. ---

It’ll also make sure your car is well-prepared for adding power.** :slap: oooh yes thats right,i almost forgot.just because one honda out there runs 10’s,they call can.dont be such a fucking idiot.ok lets crunch some numbers.the edelbrock turbo kit runs almost 3500 bucks,thats the cost of a gsr motor swap. for 3500 u could swap in an LS motor,(140hp,127lb ft) and be able to keep up or even beat the single cam civics with the turbo kit,for about the same cost,but have much more potential than a single cam,and its probably easier to just swap in the LS motor than putting on that turbo kit on the single cam would be. ---
