Moonman my budget is bearly nothing right now dont have a job at the moment due being so busy. Will have one in like 5 weeks after school ends estimating on having about 4k by august to spend on the swap. Have to plan ahead so i get all the right information so i don’t mess up what i buy and if i will have everything to drop the motor right in and be running when its put in. ---

Will do justin same goes here. And ReDevil no i don’t in the middle of nowheres kinda suck most of the time. Ill look out for the red hatch where you around in coby and i don’t know the kid that owns the grey civic with the red lips on his rims ive seen that car many of time in the parking lot at the college. Johawk really don’t think the car would handle it because it has 187,\*\*\* on the motor. I think it would kill it in a few thousand miles. Thank you though. ---

h22\>b16,b18,b20 imo and if you do the work yourself go with a h2b b16 trans with a h22 type s motor. puts down more power stock than any other choice. and if some people say blah blah weight makes it heavy dont listen…worst part is axle angles and its damn close to bswap. and h22 swap parts are getting cheaper. remember no replacement for displacement except positive induction. h22 is best honda motor imo. price is there and power is too. most honda motors will never touch torque from h22 maybe a k24 or jswap. but they can be expensive…and if you keep motor thats in it now youll save a big hassle/and money. turbo d-series non vtec make damn good torque and thats cheapest bet. and if you blow it up swap another($400). clutch slips hard on d once you go bigger numbers. but dollar for dollar d will win because you already have one. and its been around longer just dont go n/a d series [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/zachs-97-honda-dx/257723.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/zachs-97-honda-dx/257723.md?page=4)
