Hey tony which engine did u swap into ur car?.. and how much did it cost u?

Wow! This list still lives on...you may have posted on the wrong list...?!? MARCOxox > >

heh.. just seeing if anyones still payin attention!.. and i want to know about that engine!!!!

Hey man.......... I'm trying to find out how much the engine is too. I'm trying to decide between teh JRSC or the 1.8L engine. ......... >

I would get the 1.8L engine, because the 1.8l engine is around the same price (i think) and if you just added the JRSC then you would be stuck at that given hp.. but with the 1.8L GSR, you get higher redline = fun, and an ability to upgrade even more after by adding JRSC or turbo etc.. but the downside would be finiding a good engine since you don't know how it was used etc... changing engines can be a hassle.. etc.. + you need new tranny, different motor / tranny mounts etc.. but if i was doin it.. i'd got for new engine.. more fun =)

Thats true.......... It's really hard to get a good engine unless you get one striaght from the dealership. The guy at the dealership quoted me $2000.00 without the tranny. So it's still gonna be a good deal. My other option is to go with the 1.6L DOHC engine. I think thats a direct swap aswell but ytou don't have to change trannies. With this engine swap the EL woould be a SIR EL...Well, I'm still trying to weigh my options. If I get the new engine, I can swap most of my parts onto it which would be nice. My big goal though is to swap out the auto tranny and put in a 5-speed. Hem, I wonder if the TL's tranny would fit with a little mod....... >

Auto to stick eh?.. yeah i have the same prob.. wasn't too into performance when i bought the car.. but i've been quoted about $5000, for the 1.8L GSR engine + tranny, ecu etc.. installed from some places.. i can prolly get it cheaper if i really tried.. but i need to find some work before i can afford that =).. and i'm afraid i need to goto the states for some high payin work.. hopefully i'll get job in Cali.. home of all those car places!!!

Good luck man finding a good paying job....... Here in Calgary theres some decent places that have good engines and trannies. This one guy I know got a GSR engine and tranny for his RS integra. The damn thing is now turbochargered. ANd this other guy got a tranny for his Supra. Don't know why the hell the guy got the Suprain auto but he's got it in stick now. Going down to Cali for the cars ain't bad, but it's more fun making a statement in Canada. People haven't seen carz like suped up besides mustangs and shit. I guess I just like the attention and compliments I get but I wanna bring my car down to Cali to do the interior and get a bodykit built for me there..... Oh well, I'm going down there this summer so I'll see what the carz I like. But from the pics my friends bring back they all look the same to me....... Laterz...... >

Heh dunno about calgary but here in van we got cars souped up to the bageezers.. lots of imports.. teg type R engines swaped into hatchbacks etc.. bodykits on ELs, lots of DOHC civics and i'm not talkin about SiRs.. integras that have like 5cm of ground clearance (morons).. dunno about those mustangs and stuff.. most of us just laugh at em cuz they can't turn =)

I know what you mean....... Lately, just in the past year it's been like crazy with imports. Whereever you go you see an integra souped up or a civic. Man you see chicks with souped up ass intergas. Damn, but oh well, it's just the trend for now. Bodykit's on the EL, still haven't seen a pick yet of one except the one with the mugen kit. I've heard stories about the guy with the Lancer kit. As for me I'm getting a new bumper ordered in right now and haveing my wingswest lip molded to it and refinishing the whole front. I'll take a pic when it's done just to show everyone........... Laterz..... >

Cool.. i'm just gonna leave the body alone.. cept maybe add a front skirt.. but i'm gonna go overkill on the performance stuff.. silent but deadly!.. my goal is to be able to outhandle and outdrag a integra type r.. especially one in the hands of a female driver!!.. yeah.. some chick bought one and drive it at like 40kph... what a waste.. wish i had that =P

yeah I know......... oh well, just wait till theyt sell the carz then you have a souped up car. But it's always good to not attract that much attention .. but I like the attention............. >

Hey Volitaire, The engine is the B18B - 1.8L DOHC non-vtec. Same year as the car so the wiring was complicated but manageable. The engine was from a friend who's moved up to a GSR power plant, I did the install myself with help from my brother and Andrew DeLaCour, so the total cost is was VERY cheap, less than the normal circumstances anyway.
