New to the forum and looking for ideas

[eg_hatch94]

Hello everyone. My name is Andrew I was just given a 94 eg hatch. It is in pretty bad shape as of right now but it is my project car. I dont know much about hondas... so any ideas as to what I can do for a reasonabke price and maye some how-to's. Right now it has a 1.6 non vtec with i/h/e. I want more power thought about a mini me. Thoughts please

Welcome and I know where a D16Z6 is if you are wanting to do the mini me. It's also in a eg hatch that is being parted out. So if you want any of the parts off the car let me know and I will give you the info.

Mine me is the cheaper option, but to make real power only real options in civics are boost or swap.
How much more power are you talking about??

Welcome. Throw up some photos.

I wanna do a swap for sure then maybe boost later. I just found a Guy with a shop and he has a del sol with a b16 he said he would install for 2500... it has 90k miles. Good deal?

Im assuming 2500.including the motor/trans what about mounts? Its a good price if done right. Not if he is just gonna hack it up though

not a good deal

is the car your daily?

if not find a deal on a swap and do it yourself

wont learn a thing paying someone to do it

 

[eg_hatch94]

I agree! I would love to do it... I would rather a B18 vtec or not. I just dont have the equipment to do it and dont really know anyone who does. and yes 2500 includes everything but the shift linkage. He is a certified honda mechanic. Would I be better off with an ls swap? and how hard is it to do? I was gonna do the d16y6 but not enough power. I need more. My other car is a nissan sentra ser spec v so I want this car to be a bit faster

2500 installed for a b16, tranny, mounts, ecu, etc. is actually pretty good I think. Especially with only 90k miles. You won't find another one with that low of miles at least where I'm at. As long as you think the guy is trustworthy I would say go for it. There isn't a huge difference between the b16 and b18 when you are coming from a non-vtec d16.

I say go for the swap. Hey maybe he can show you a thing or two also. Or build and boost the sohc!

 

[emerican]

Go for it if you wanna pay somebdy to do it 2500 installed if he does it right is a decent price.

Build the d

 

[eg_hatch94]

i thought about building the d and turboing it but the b16 has more potential and i can probably talk him down to 2k if I give him my setup

 

[eg_hatch94]

The motor is from a del sol. What does it mean when it first starts up the rpms fluctuate for about 30-45 seconds then goes to a normal idle?

 

[Failsafe88]

So the d doesnt have potential. Have you not looked at speedfactory build or the bisimotobuild. All these great d series builds. I guess I should give up on my turbo build and go b series.

 

[eg_hatch94]

I didnt mean the d series didnt have potential. I just dont know what Im doing when it comes to building so for me the b series has more potential. I wouldnt know the first step to building the internals of the motor. I figured this is the easiest method for me.

 

[Failsafe88]

So you just planon doing a straighy swap and leaving it be.

 

[eg_hatch94]

for now yes later will come boost

 

[Failsafe88]

I say go for b20
