Motor Question... 97 Civic EX SOHC VTEC

[Bigkat]

Crom - Remember I said with a GSR/SI tranny. We have a 98 EX running 15.4 w/ full interior and I/H/E.........on Nitto 450's.

Now about the $2000 for a built D16.......where are you getting this done? The price-tag from Benson's was $3050 shipped(JE pistons, Crower rods, resleeved, balanced& blueprinted) If you going to get the motor built then scrap the cheap ass Greddy kit for the F-Max kit.

Remember he said it wasn't a drag car. His best bet would be the B18b w/ GSR tranny. Shit if he can pull ad reinstall the D16......then he can do a B-series motor swap. My bud Frank did his GSR hybrid over the weekend. He pulled the motor on Friday and had the B18C installed on Sat..........finished up the wiring on Sunday. That was his 1st conversion ever.

I pulled a 15.7 with the B18B with I/H/E in my 94 Coupe with 2.4 60ft times. Just thought I would give a reference.

i have the f-max turbo. bro-in-law got the greddy. both of us are daily drivers. if youre not planning to do some serious drag racing...go with the greddy. we both run 5 psi (im not rich and premium fuel is expensive to waste) and i kill him on top end but his car just feels smoother - this is a subjective feeling and its hard to explain. fit and finish goes to greddy. complete kit goes to f-max - it includes intercooler, additional injector controller w/ 2 440cc injectors, btm...you wont have to purchase almost anything else except a built block to get some serious power with it. if i could do it again i would have gone with a greddy w/ intercooler.
bottom line.....be realistic with what you want - drivability or drag racer.

But many people who write to this board have the supercharger...
