I have a 90 EF Hatch and i wanna know what u guys think .........im looking to do a swap but i want it to still be reliable since it will still be my daily driver but i want it to still be fast

 

Reliable and Fast doesn't = cheap unless you stole it lol

Save some money for a nonvtec b-series swap or a decent d16z6 or a6 swap.

 

money isnt an issue cause i wanna do it right so im willing to spend the extra cash to build something thats gonna last.......someone told me to do a D15 SOHC VTec?

 

^the person that told you that is an idiot. do what custom240sx said. B18a or B18b non-V swap.

and another +1 for custome240sx, the number one thing i tell people all the time. Speed isn't cheap.

 

what about trans?

 

Are you going to daily the car? If so keep an LS trans on it...if not go b16/gsr...if you want more power down the road you can turbo the B-series or go Ls/vtec and then for even more turbo that. Plenty of options.

 

sohc f22 or f23, leave it stock and keep your foot in its ass. stock in my book is reliable. if you want more power and not rip a whole in your pocket. B and D is good but there like only 130hp max in stock form. and every one has one. well atleast every one but me. I refuse to be the same. H22 FTW !!!!!!!!!

 

Has nothing to do with that spyder...B series is a completely good setup...for the money you could have a boosted B with A/C in his car for the same price as a F or H type swap...those swaps are overrated really. I'm not saying they are bad but they aren't as fast as everyone thinks they are. Built one before, raced em...not as fast as you think.

 

man i got a d16 and u wanna upgrade to that? i hate it its not slow per say but not fast i want a b16 and build it right and call it the day but im gonna need like 2.5k cuz i want everything new including tranny'

remember with hondas its a hobby and a waste of money with what you spend you dont make it fast and when u sell it you wont get half of what you spent.

 

Yeah I think im gonna go with what Custom240SX said....im gonna go B18b with a Gsr trans ....ive done a litle research and that seems like the way to go
