Hey some of you may remember the post I made before about my friend with a 98 4dr accord and he did an H22A swap.
I finally met up with him while I was home for winter break and heres what Ive come back with:
He paid in total $6700 for everything from going to an auto to manual engine all parts and labor. On the engine he has a dual exhaust (probably doesnt do much over a single exhaust) headers CAI and an MSD ignition. And the place that did his swap kept his old engine with all the mods he had on there.
We were driving around and I wanted to see how well that $6700 was spent. I just came home from school and had some things in my car (tools 2 ton jack sound system and 2 wheels/tires in the back seat) so my car was pretty full. He had nothing in the trunk no spare back seat or center console.
We catch a light and take off...I jumped on him right away next we were doing a 3rd gear roll and we both gunned it and this is where he pulled away from me but very slowly (guess the VTEC was doing its job).
To quickly mention my car 91 Sentra SE-R JDM engine Pacesetter headers intake pullies and exhaust.
Now...if this is the best that $6700 can do ladies and gentlemen I am not impressed. His car was gutted basically I still had a lot of stuff in mine. I know Hondas are more expensive to mod up but if I were to put the same amount of money into my car I would have one bad ass FMAX kit and runnin low 12s.
Im not saying hes dumb for what he did or how much he spent but Im sure there were other alternatives. But he is happy about everything and I guess thats what matters.
thanks for your time
