ls longlbocks arent much more expensive than sohc vtec longblocks. for a couple extra hundered bucks id put rods and pictons into the ls and be much happier. not to mention the b series components/drivetrain are A LOT more power friendly than the d

I'm with Dave on this one man. LS turbo, just look at Matt's car, that's all I've gotta say!

Best thing you can do is buy a Civic. Then buy an LS swap with a cracked sleeve. We'll build the motor, then swap it all in at once. Down Time: 2 Days AT VERY VERY MOST!

well kris find me the shit!!! I just think it will end up costing more to buy a civic.. buy the ls swap and labor and then the whole turbo kit ect. and then im only running a low 13.. I dont want a hatch or crx, so it wont be super light.

My car isn't light, and you know that but it runs 12.50's.....think about it man. Just dont skimp on the diff, mounts, axles and traction bars and you should be fine to run the 12's you want!

Plus my car weights 2601 STOCK + charger and upgrade + me (200 pounds) = almost 2900

Think about it man, you'll be fine.

Dave, the RS is a good suggestion, however he wants all available options on the car. All power, ABS, Cruise, leather, sunroof.....everything. This puts RS out of the question.

Special Edition LS.....Just like mine

10-1 . 10.8 -1 , depinding on what year and USDM or JDM.

Parts are not hard to come by, they have almost they same amount of market as the b series do....

www.Honda-Tech.com HAs gobs of information on this. Good luck with the project mang
