Thanks, and I doubt the whole engine swap thing. I just don't have that kind of money right now. For now I just want to get a cold air intake, header and exhaust system.if you like that front end, then i would say ex, but there wont be a b series. it will be a d16y8, in the 120ish hp range. If you would have intentions of motor swap though, i would say dx since it could be slightly cheaper. just my opinion
Ok, so when you say swap $2000, is that including labor and such or just the engine itself?if you really have your heart set on a b series try picking up a shell for $1000 or so and then do a swap for $2000. bam $3000 car and a b series
well if you were to do it yourself you could probably do it for about $2000. more or less depending on how frugal you are with spendingOk, so when you say swap $2000, is that including labor and such or just the engine itself?
Ok, well engine swap probably won't be the way I go. But, a shell is just the car w/o the engine, right?well if you were to do it yourself you could probably do it for about $2000. more or less depending on how frugal you are with spending
Yeah, i've seen a couple for like 3500, but i'm sure there is probably things wrong with it. Man, I hope I can find an Si.thats fine, just a suggestion. cause you probably won't be able to find an si for less then $5000. yes shell is without an engine
If that's true, if I were to go look at one, what should I look for to see if it is a legit Si?they probably werent legit SI's. they were probably ex or dx with a swap done
Ok, thanks.im not totally sure on this. but Si's ran a b16, they have a front and rear lip, look for sway bar in the rear, intake is different, gauge cluster is different, seats are, grill, and idk what else off the top of my head. you can also look in the glove box and read the book. registration. there is a bunch of stuff. i cant remember what to look at vin wise
Oh trust me, I know the whole money thing. lol. I've seen my dad spend mucho dinero on his S2000. I don't plan on doing the turbo yet, I was jw on that. But, with the intake, header, and exhaust plan, how much horsepower will you typically gain?Intake and header will be useless since you will be replacing them with a turbo. exhuast you will need, or should atleast have. but slow your roll now, your looking at thousands of dollars to do this correctly and have it be reliable. I suggest you do A LOT of research.
