New project coming soon... possibly. Honduh

Not sure what chassis i'm going to go with. But i think i've determined what block i'll be going with.

Was looking at a k20/k24... but meh.

Thinking a H22, i'll be building it for upto 250fwhp n/a. Hopefully i'll be able to see a redline around 9k (around 200lbs of torque as well). I'll be happy with around 220whp, i just want a very fast/high revving engine. Although midrange torque is also a priority, gotta to pull me out of those twisties. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Wont be cheap, but its something i can build up slowly with whatever money i have laying around. I might just run whatever engine the vehicle i decide on comes with while i build up the h block rather than pull it out constantly.

Thinking i'll be running a B Series ******.

Should i go this route, the build will include resleeeeving, new pistons rods and crank, all balanced. Lots of headwork and all that funstuff. I'm getting antsy just thinking about it. I said i'd never do another FWD car again but i loved my accord so much, so meh.

N/A FTW!!!

put it in a four door integra(great chassis for handling, more so then the two door).....would be a sick canyon carver!! also dont throw out the k series so quick..that kinda build is spendy anyway you twist it...a k20a with cams/intake/exhaust/kpro will do better then the numbers your looking at witha fully built h22, and its not like swapping an h22 is much easier...just my 2cents

put it on a older gen prelude baby //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif B18 200FWHP id say no shiategra since everyone and their mother owns one, if u could find a AE86 for cheap might be nice too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif oops didnt see the N\A part..

220hp is nothin for a H22 really....no need to sleeve...unless ur boring out some more.

Id go with a 4dr Civic....same weight basically as a HB but with 2 more doors...im bias though

Good Luck....check out all motor section at http://www.honda-tech.com great info

Well if i decide to go with an accord or prelude it pretty much drops right in. Only really have to worry about obd and vtec wiring. Not a huge ordeal.

Also there really is quite a lot involved in a K swap as far as fabrication is involved (although now there are kits for just about every car i'm sure). And the block itself is about 3k right off the bat isn't it? Even so the K might be a the best option. I know as far as a free revving engine its hard to beat.

ugh why hondumb?

I personally like the way they handle better, they're also easier to work on. And the aftermarket support for them is larger. I'll always like VW's. But as far as a project car to tinker with. It's hard to beat a hondumb.

(not to mention i'm going n/a, which is not VW's forte)

Older preludes are a no go, and i really don't care for any of the B series engines except for the B18c5.... but those aren't easy to come by.

and it HAS to be n/a. I know as far as power goes, turbo is cheaper. But i just love n/a motors. I've thought about getting an is300 sometime. If i go that route i will definitely go turbo.

You could always do it to a CRX and have a little sports car that will go decently fast and a nice little street setup with 1 12/2 10s.

A friend had a CRX. Was a fun little car to drive. Just like a go kart! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I despise CRX's

right now i'm thinking:

94-95 2 door accord

92-96 lude

mayyyybe:

94+ teg (meh)

Civic hatch

Not sure if the wheelbase is long enough though. Like spud said, if i go with an integra, it'll probably be a four door.

i say a 96-00 4dr civic with a k20a.

i remember a few years back toda had a kit for the k20 that put the whp around near 240-250.. or you can do what super street did in there ep3, a k20a4 block w/ a k24 head.

i've been a member of H-T since 04 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The only civic i would go with would be a hatch, and even there, i'm not so hot on that concept. The only reason i'm thinking about the hatch is weight. And a 4door civic would throw that out the window. Although they still are light.

probably don't need to sleeve the H22 at 220whp, or 250 really. But i want to do it while the engine is torn apart anyway. along with some port/polishing action. wewt! I will probably be doing some boring work as well. Those composite sleeves can goto hell.

k swaps can be had for cheaper just gotta look around/get lucky....I had a k24(tsx) with a blown Head/valvetrain(block was all i wanted, was planning k20a2 head swap) that I got rid of for basically nothing..if you had posted this a couple weeks ago before i sold the motor to a buddy, ida sold you the motor for what I paid plus shipping...wouldent of even been a grand(only paid 500 for the motor...ohh and yes the k swaps are quite involved...but the pain of swapping them is well worth it...

 

[SocMunky 10+ year member]

If you go hatch, go with an 89-91 model....they tend to stand out a bit more...still had a kinda boxy look... I had one for the longest time, lightweight (for a hatch) and definetly a blast to drive.

If i can get a K series that cheap i'll JUMP on it. any idea where i should look for situations/deals like yours?

omg get a vtec prelude with a cold air intake and you'll run 10's easy.

(according to my shithead friend)
