Hey whats up people.Im Junior from california.
Well ok thee other day I bought a 1992 Civic Hatch VX for $950,not running.I really didnt care.Because i already have a motor for the shell.Its out of a 2003 Nissan Sentra SpecV...(2.5L) and also its tranny,a 6spd.Also off the SpecV...It usto be my older brothers' but he got a new set up for his SpecV,and he passed me his old motor....well if you dont know much about thee motor it was 175hp and about 185tq....but to the wheels im not sure.Well the motor is not stock...it has a few things...Headers,Intake,Nismo Cams,and the tranny come with a brand new StageII Clutch.And New flywheel.But yeah i know its going to take a long time to get it done.but my brother is going to do all the labor....hes a mechanic at a shop so his friends and him are going to do most of the job.
What do you guys think about this build up?

 

well welcome to the forum have fun here.

 

That engine is rated at 175hp at the crank. Not the wheels and I think you are setting yourself up for a headache

 

WELCOME!

 

Hm...I hope your brother knows what he is doing. Does that engine even fit in the compartment? The honda 2.2l prelude motor is even a tight squeeze in that engine bay with all the other needed stuff to make it work, not to meantion the custom-made engine mounts, wiring, and any drivetrain connections needed for the spec-v engine. If you do get that engine in there it will definately be much faster and definately one of a kind [sm=smiley20.gif], but you will definately do some suspension mods to compensate for the much heavier engine if you still want it to handle decently.

Best of luck though!
