thanks for the replies, haha everyone over on honda tech.com said go for the B, you guys said go for the D... im not looking for no super car here... id be please with a 200+ to a 300+ car, even the 300 is pushing it... we'll put it in the middle 255 lol... i dont plan for a 5 or 6 hundred horsepower civic, i dont have the time money or resources for that... im just lookin for a fun build that something fun to drive and quicker than the average car out there...and reliability is a big thing, i dont want to have to be fixing this thing every weekend...

where are you guys getting your engines? is there a site im missing here or are you getting them from your local junk yards?

personally i wouldnt push no more than 200whp out of a d-series on stock internals, i mean you CAN go more but depending on driving habits and tuning d-series motors wont last very long you will surely blow something boosting the poor lil motor. but if you want to build the bottom i recommend doing the vitara piston route.

i know you guys say that d is better i have a d16 plan on turbocharging it on stock internals but can the transmission handle it and drive axles also that is what i'm worried about.

To help with wheel hop, get some polyurethane motor mount inserts. That should keep you from having many problems. For future reference, D's aren't really better for really high HP, but they are really the best value engine because for as much money as a swap you can build the D you have and turbo it, and make a lot more power. |

buy a cheap D, build it, boost it, take your time and find all the right parts, do it once right, and you'll be killing it |
