im 16 yrs old and i get a car january. i was thinking of getting a tII w/ a run down motor and putting in a 13b-rew (im pretty shure thats the code). my q was how much would this cost and what other parts of the car would i have to replace/mod if i did this?

 

Young GRASSHOPPER, you must crawl before you can walk. The 13BREW is th FD engine, it can be done but it is a PITA swap.

Jims5443 has succesfully done this mod. research!.



Your first goal is to set a realistic budget. How much $$ do you have? . What kind of tools to you own?. What kind of Facilities do you have or have access to?. Can you afford for the car to be down for long periods of time? Is this your only car? Can you afford the Insuurance?

 

 

i'm 16 also... you best bet is just to research and learn about the car itself... i have to say... trust me a stock t2 with a decent motor is PLENTY quick enough. where you from steve

 

An REW swap is a waste of time and money unless you have more plans than leaving it stock, or even close to stock.

 

i mean... a stock t2 has more preformance then any honda civic would ever dream of having.... and not only in horsepower but in corners and everything.... i mean you can still get a good 220-250 horse out of a stock t2 which right there would kill all of your friends RSX Type Ss'... Hundyi Tiburon GTs'... most camaros and mustangs.

 

carefull thier i have an autocrosser friend with a SI that can drive cirles around me i cant beat him around corner no way sure on the straights its not even funny but on the corners he owns



also a the local autoX thier is a guy mike ancas (wrote a book on rx7 performance and owns a cosmo) but he is also a civic finatic that would kill damn near nehting his main competition is a single turbo supra that has been in the pages of SCC a few times



that civic owns him nearly eveytime in case your wondering SCC nicknamed the supra the wingless wonder you can look it up if you like

 

the only way he would be able to beat you in the corners is if he has upgrades suspension, yours is shot, or he is plainly a better driver. civics suck

 

we both are running KYB AGX shocks with ebrach pro kit springs this civic is way lighter though



yes he is a damn good driver has the reginal champ torphies to prove it



im running yokahama avs intermediat tires and he is running falkins azinas (is that the now famous tire)

 

and im sure if he took ur car he could do better than he does in his car
