do some more searching here on the forums. there are a few guys who have already done this, and for the time and money you could buy an evo. theres a lot more work involved than what you think.

but to each their own.

Hey ol kingman, your not just thinking every engine is plug and play are you? So far youve posted three different engines on here that would require at least 15k in custom fabbing work to be able to actually put in your car. Secondly, the engines your looking at are very old as well and I dont believe it would by any means be an easy swap even if you were very good at custom fabbing. Third, you need to make sure the engine is facing the same way as ours, timing belt on the same side of the engine bay. Im all for innovation but just look into some of the easier swaps that have already been accomplished. Its probably somewhere around 1500 for a full g64 swap, and trust me thats cheap. We arent hondas where every mitsu motor fits in our chassis and we have every aftermarket part necessary to fit the motors in. Our cars dont work like that. If you want custom, its going to cost you. Best bang for the buck is just to turbo your car, youd be good to go. And now that Im done ranting, thats my $0.02.

ok so the best thing to do it to just turbo up my car?

[imalancerman]

Yessir, lots less hassle. Im not going that route as Im going to do a g64 swap because of the increase in aftermarket support. But if all your looking for is a quick car, turbo is the way to go.
