    What engine is best to swap in my 3G?


    Just joking guys. I've browsed this forum for ages, but forgot what my old username was and also forgot the e-mail address that I registered with

    I have an 86 DX hatch and big dreams. Yea.... that sounded dumb. My hatch is just about to hit 200,000 and is just about dead. My daily driver is an 02 Nissan SE-R Spec V. I'd like to build up my hatch at least enough to auto-x it or keep up with the Spec V.

    Oh.... I've grown up with this car. My mom bought it new in '86 and it was my first car when I turned 16. It has been such a reliable car until these last few months.

    So this is my completely meaningless post to say hello to everyone.

    should be easy to do, even NA. Those arent that fast, but they have sick torque. Oh yeah, to answer your question, you absolutely MUST swap in an H22a, use all JDM parts yO, and get nawsss, 2 big bottles.

    Oh snap! I'm already getting a bad rep.

    I'm definitely not 89ACCORDVTECH. I at least know how to Spell VTEC.

    I finally remebered my old name.. 3rdgenaccord472. Now if I can only remember what e-mail address I used...

    lot of guys say h22a and i have heard some people say put a b18 in it
    i guess it boils down too how much dinero you got to spend.

    there has been a total of how many succesful confirmed swaps, two?

    b18's are, or were easier with the mounts that placeracing made.

    btw, he said 89accordvtech was for the year, accord, vtec, h series
