Hows it going guys, so any ways,


Ive been getting into swaps lately, as in reading about them and studieing and such, and I am becoming more and more interested.



Im planning on swapping out a mazda mx5 and throwing in a ford 5.0 302 SB in it, but not for a couple years.



But on the other hand while im at it, I would love to have a car to work on, because I dont need trans. cuz I can walk to work its so close, So I was planning 0n getting some kind of honda, prolly an integra, but Im just wondering what swap I should choose for the integra, Im definatly gunna buy a JDM motor on the net, but IDK b16? h22? k20? b18? AHHH ... idk......But I have exp. turning wrenches and such and This will be my first swap, I just want to take the time to do it perfectly right, even if it means spending more money if thats what it takes.

I would love to have a sick teggy or a clean hatch to show off and shit.



So what do you guys think, OPEN TO ANY IDEAS, COMMENTS >> Etc.:bash

First off an HO 5.0 in an MX5 would be pretty fuckin' sweet, especially with a cf roof......Second JDM engines=no better than American when everything is said and done........Third if you want to swap a honda, get something cheap as fuck, light as hell and throw a b-series in it...The whole swap wouldn't be that costly and it would be fun....Now if you have an ungodly amount of money to spend, I'd get an ek hatch and k-swap it......all this is just me though....Only you know what you need to spend, hp gains, and all that bs....Just remember though, google's your friend.

so awesome, I went out and bought the gears show from speed season dvd that has the 2 episodes on it, I think its amazing tho.

But before I even start on that, I wanna have at least a B16 under my belt, that would be cool,

and no im not rich, i work for mobil 1 as a pit man... but i make decent money, b series sounds good.


lookin at del sols, integras , and hatches, not so much civics coupe or sedan tho.

CRX, B18A1, cheap and easy as all hell.

my vote goes for the ls7

 

[jordan_myers]

I wish i could afford one of those kits and an mx5, that fuckin slustang engine would be out in a heartbeat....i guess for now though i'm stuck with a white-trash ferrari that needs a quarter panel.

[Darkness]

a b16 in a teg? ewww fuck that noise

 

[jordan_myers]

here are some links i think you might need......the integra comes with a b18 (that is unless you go for a really oldschool one).

Honda B engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Honda D engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

you cant go wrong when putting in a b18c or b16 into a civic hatch. I've heard that there are quite of bit of extra parts you have to buy for the b18c though... But im not positive... A friend of mine bought a b18b though, and there was a crap ton of extra stuff he had to buy for it..

B18A in a CRX. All the plugs match up and everything. Super cheap, lots of torque for such a light car
