Rebuild kits

[blacknightteg]

are they worth it? especially on high mileage engines? people on an integra forum were tellin me that i should just rebuild my engine. its got 192k on it, and to me thats just a little to much and i would rather swap it, but isnt basically rebuilding it the same thing? does it get more expensive doing this or cheaper?

IMO..i'd drop a b20 w/ a b16 tranny w/ how your funds seem

if you just want to stay stock, then go for rebuild.

[blacknightteg]

well i mean thats what im not sure about, i wana get more power out of it, but its daily driven. so i dont wana do something unstable.

x2

unless u have more funds available for a gsr w/ a b16 tranny, just go w/ that setup i mentioned and you'll be set for some eventual DD mild boost

[blacknightteg]

not really too sure if i wana do boost anymore. ill do it, but i just cant have something be un reliable.

[Sammich]

if ur pockets get kinda deep i swear do the gsr w/ the 16 trans..u wont regret it

[blacknightteg]

lol they wont be gettin deep, i gotta keepa budget. cant spend too much, dont want to either.

[Sammich]

whats the most u wana spend

LOL @ me for speaking to u on both forums lol

[BlkCD5]

whats your exact budget on the car? Figure up the build cost vs. potential performance figures. You could just rebuild the engine, mild boost and be done with it.

[blacknightteg]

whats the most u wana spend

LOL @ me for speaking to u on both forums lol

i want to spend no more then about 3500 to 4k on the build.

and yea, stop followin me *******!

[Sammich]

lol post that figure on teh other boards whore lol

like i said..if u wana spend that much...do the b18c1, w/ the b16 trans (if you can get the gsr or type r 4th and 5th gears) and get a LSD. let it go at that..and u can have a nice dependable daily

[seanrg1116]

you can get a b20 swap:goodjob: for under a grand. just keep your tranny and put a clutch in it and then I/H/E you will have a very reliable DD without spend hardly any of ur budget.



p.s. if it was me I would save a little more and get the b18c5 swap FTMFW but that is just my :2cents:

[blacknightteg]

ok, well how about IF i wanted to just rebuild my engine from the state that it is in right now, where is a good place to purchase a rebuild kit that will have everything ta i will need.

[seanrg1116]

just to give you a ball park of price and if you have a budget of more than a couple grand i would spend it on a good low milage engine and spend the spare money building up the one you have. but if you cannot do the work ur self it is going to get very expensive so that is why i just recommened a good swap.
