My First Build. . .

[Vteckidd]

LS motors might make 170-180whp with built engine, crazy headwork and cams, $1000 header, etc.

Going NA with a nonvtec motor is not worth the money at all.

YOu are better off boosting it.

If you want to stay NA, get a GSR motor, or do LSVTEC but even then witout supporting mods you are still looking at 150whp

hey btlground. . .


how much wireing would be involved in doing the gsr swap? and id like to stay non vtec cause i dont like the way it kicks in. . .

any ideas?

and like i said. i dont really know what my hores number i shoudl want is. cause i think the stock 18A1 is fun it just needs more low and mid range pull. and id like it to pull a little harder over all. . .

whats your ideas opinion. . .

compromise to your situation =h23+h22 tranny swap,boltons and youll have exactlty what your looking for...no vtec and enough torque to make you smile.

and the H series is in the prelude right?

and it would bolt right up?

If you don't like the way vtec kicks in, just lower the vtec engagement point. Generally, the lower the engagement point, the less you will feel the transition. I've always hated vtec controllers, but they do allow you to change the vtec engagement point on the fly. You could lower it for autox or mountain runs so you arent constantly going in and out of vtec, and then you can raise it back up so you aren't constantly in and out of vtec in traffic. Also with a GSR, if you keep the stock IM with the dual runner design, the transition is a little smoother.

That has to be the worst suggestion in this thread.

well i think ill still buy the one at the junk yard for 200 [motor and trans]
build the trans, suspention, brakes, and then do mild work on the motor.

as far as my budjet i dont really have one but im looking at keeping the motor/trans part around 2500, suspention around 1500-2000, and as far as brakes and tires im just gana get some good pads, change the fluid and a set of stainless line. tires for on the mountains will probly be azenis or something of that sort.

so i gues you could say that my budget for the whoel car is 5000
