my cousin gave me his old project car its a 88 civic hatch its got a b16 with a turbo and a 100 shot of NOS my question for everyone is should i drop all that into me 91 civic the reason i dont want to keep it in the hatch is because the body is shot the floors r almost rotted out and the body look like its been to hell and back
i want to drop it into me civic i have but wanted to see what everybody thought bout my idea . this will make my car pretty quick . i spent the better part of today getting the motor running in the hatch and it runs perfect i had to install a few parts to get it all running but i think it was worth the time i spent to day so let me know what u think bout the motor/turbo/NOS swap

well, if you got a turbo'd engine, and it's body is shot, what r u gonna do with it otherwise? DROP IT IN, you have no other use for it.

But you do know you have to get a b-series tranny for that engine right? And it has to be cable too. You can use a hydraulic but you would have to get a conversion kit. I believe Hasport has one.

Sounds like we need to have a run, once you get it out of the shop, like sleepertec said in your other post, you really don't know what i have in that MX-3. Hey if you have anytrouble with getting that motor in or whatever, i'm not expreinced at honda's but i do know a think or two about general automotive work, since i do every day.

what kind of turbo is it? IHI? T3? and what kind of psi are you throwing to that engine?

So I'm guessing that the Turbocharged b16 engine with a 100 shot of Nitrous didn't work out since you're already looking for a d16 engine from Vegas, in his post. :strange: i would think you would have already had the car since you said you did.
