just get a ls for now...be happy with the torque and the extra ponies. then get a vtec head later on when you have funds along with some p30 pistons, good header, cams, good exhaust. wait a little more then get some cam gears and in mani and throttle body (about 65mm no bigger) and you will be happy.. when you save some more you can get a close geared b-16 tranny and you will see how the car will scrape.

Really good low budget idea.

 

never said it was low budget but will definitely keep him satisfied for a long time.....if low budget go ls.....

 

1. you have a EX if its the factory motor which is the D16Z6 then you do have VTEC.
2. Its slow cause its a small motor.
3. Vtec isn't some magical go fast feature.
4. Buy a H22 longblock get a H2D kit have a beer.

well dang. you didnt have to get all fancy and number the shit for me haha.. i said i was semi new to the engine stuff.. thats just what i found online.. and like i said.. ive also heard that h22s dont sit right in my car.

i cant afford an h22 yet.. so in the meantime.. whats the ls/vtec conversion thing.. ive heard some about that.

 

its a lot of money to be done right but well worth it..
better off with a swap if on a tight budget.

 

look on the front of the motor where the engine meets the tranny and your engine code will be there (little flat square part), just so you'll know for sure what u have.

 

yeah im thinking im just going to be patient and save up the money for a good clean swap
