    Default Rebuild kits

    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?

    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

    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.

    you can get a b20 swap 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

    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.
