Depends on your taste, but basically its like a b series into older hondas, just not as cheap.

or u could just boost ur engine that you have right now.

mxking725 · 11-03-2009, 08:06 PM

it is boosting but not sure how long its goin to last we just did a compression test on it 3 cylinders r showing 200 and one is 150 so im goin to get a valve adjustment done and see if it is a quick fix but if not i will have to start working on a new so any advise would help thanks.....

Just replace all your internals with better stuff...It would end up costing almost the same amount and would still remain the stock motor, which means it retains it's value a lil better than with a swap...

yeah that wut i am goin to do, do u kno how much it would cost to do that if i had all the parts already?
