bah,,half true but I concur

if he had a full swap the auto would have been designed for the increased power so once installed in a light little 3rd Gen hey it will be quick enough.. but for full race and performance driving yep a five speed, better yet six speed if youre doing a K

like typical noob fashion op has to find out the tremendous expense and skill level needed to do this kind of thing, you could just buy something already running good and come out ahead, way ahead.. unless youre very resourcefull and have years of experience in all aspects of wheeled metal like me

Well tru, I jus came into this Honda world so I'm new to this stuff. So my bad for not knowing so much about all this stuff... But I am learning....

dude, k-swaps bolt in with no modification at all. if you'd search you would know that.

i personally have a k26 in my accord, it's also turbo with a stage 5 kit. i'd be willing to bet you could find the same type of swap for around only 800 bucks up there in NJ. I picked mine up from a shop in brick.

good luck, these cars are awesome with a 2.6l and turbo!

[gp02a0083]

yah you have to travel up to north nj to actually find something decent. There isnt much around here in the central part of nj. I think I know the shop in brick you are talking about , is it off of RT 70 and Rt 9 ?

still even so if the engine "bolts in" you have alot to worry about with the axles and transmission linkage. Not to mention the wiring part of the swap...

I think you can use a 94 mustang to get the base fox body clip to make this a turn key swap. Good luck finding one because there hardly any in the junkyard.

If you're going to put this much money and effort into building a car for him, why don't you teach him to drive a stick as well?

Yeah, maybe I shoulda googled that before I posted. Either way, wasn't familiar with what they were.

I quoted you because it made me laugh. I thought you meant the flowers. I thought the OP meant the flowers, too...

Not sunflowers....watanabe style wheels.

That would be sick.

The generic term I always hear for those is "banana spokes."
