lol i was j.w..im gonna go with the c5 when i get the money

 

Why? [sm=dontgetit.gif]

 

u still think the gsr over type -r?

 

In the long run, you'll be able to build it up better without shelling out as much (including FI, etc.) The C5 does come with the better LSD, but IMO that's an acceptable sacrifice...

 

good point..every hear of anyone putting in the f20b(the accord si-r) motor into a civy?

 

Oh god I wish I had the money for one. I've heard of it being done, but never done it myself. I've done something harder though: F20C with a RWD conversion. We didn't do the undercarriage molding, but we installed the drivetrain and everything else. The front frame rail had to be removed and placed lower, and the front of the engine bay basically gets compacted and pushed forward. There was a funny-*** bump under the center console too for the RWD tranny... looked quite strange. Went quite fast too. But it's so much work that it's pretty much not worth the money. When you figure upwards of $5,500 or $6,000 for the motor and tranny, plus the driveline, frame and body work, suspension/brakes, etc., it just gets ridiculous... I think the guy said he ended up spending more than $14k for the whole job. But he was happy with it...

 

i have a friend who has the CTR motor with everthing imaginable done to it. and i mean EVERYTHING.....he even has this thing i dont even know what its called but he doesnt have a distributor or spark plug wires...........but anyways with all that done his best time was only 14.5 all motor

 

kap..do u think the f20 motor would be better then the 18c1?

 

No. F series are a little dicey; they're like the runt of the Civic swap list. They line up pretty similar to an H22, and are heavier than a B. I would stick with the C1 unless you can get an F20B cheap... cause that would rip!

 

i can get it for 2500...its got the same stats as the type-r teg motor...same compression...stil lthink gsr??
