<![CDATA[Motor choice]]>On the 93 hatch it has a d15 sohc non vtec. I am going to do a complete swap this winter. What do you think I should go with for the swap. I want a vtec. i was thinking a b18c1 gsr and supercharge it down the road. A type r is like 1g more for only 10hp so dont tell my to do that. I was told to go with a ls swap whicih is b18b1 i think and then put a b18 vtec head on it but then ecu and stuff will be wierd so i dont know cuz i was told that would be better for turbo then a b18c1. What does everyone think i should do? Looking to spend about 3g after it is done and running so that would be labor to estimate 500 for install. have someone to do it A little more wont kill me tho

Remember old school mustang guy here. Some people don't know what a carb is, others have no clue what these number thngs you speak of are.

Over there they don't have near as strict of an emissions law so there engines produce more power usually. The down side for them, (an upside for us) is that when the car gets any higher of mileage, their gov't taxes the hell out of them to run that same engine so it actually becomes cheaper to either drop in a new engine and/or get a whole new car all together. Now this is by no means etched in stone but it is a good rule of thumb. And a better warranty and more complete swap is diffinately worth the xtra $$$.

And include all of those parts also.

If u buy a motor...make sure everything that is supposed to come with it actually comes with it....otherwise you gotta spend more money that you shouldnt have to!

Buy the most complete and best warrantied swap regardless of price unless you wanna buy twice.

That's a good deal on the motor. However when you do that you are going to want to do the following:

Headgasket
Timing Belt
Alternator Belt
and a Clutch

Those are the 4 things I recommend on EVERY swap. Because you really have no idea how many miles are on the motor, how long its sat, etc.

yeah that is very true.

untrue.... there are a plenty of guys running ridiculous hp numbers on stock sleeves now 400-500whp. go hop on honda-tech and look. they're been using forged internals, but have been keeping the stock sleeves.
