eh 4k is expensive for 200whp on a lsvtec... I think 4k is a bit exagerated.. maybe starting from scratch buying every part brand new.

although 180whp is alot cheaper..

Im sry but for me 180whp in a CRX is cheap and a fast F-ing car for the money.. especially with a Lsvtec motor. Hell I'm doing the exact same thing. Why would you boost it and make it twice as expensive and IMO not a fun car to drive anymore except for highway blasts and roll racing on bridges?

although I'm not a fan of LSbottom ends.. I'm buying a b16 motor and then later down the road getting a GSR short block and throwing in Type R pistons.

 

I did start from scratch and every single seal, grommet, and gasket is being replaced not to mention I'm using a full skunk2 valvetrain

 

fully built single cam turbo ftw

 

Yes

 

all the honda boys are boosting because they are afraid of the bottle (most of them )


for 5k, you should be able to make a solid 350-400whp with a decent turbo setup.

 

well your def. spending alot more money than is needed to make 200whp.. so saying it costs 4k to make 200whp is kinda unrealistic unless you need everything to be brandnew..

 

Not I

 

hehe, i know quite well your not.

 

buying everything brand new is the smart way to go.its basically insurance because if anything breaks during normal use it will be replaced.I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to building motors.

 

well ive read all of you guys replies and decided to go ahead ahn put the b16a fromthis site hmotors but now im wondering about the axels...do i eed them and if so will the axels that come with this swapwork on my crx? by the way im already working on a single head to turbo its the d16a6 and its in my ef hatch
