Although im a newb, i wouldnt turn an auto into a manual until you blow the engine. So as soon as you kill your D, which you probly will if you race the crap out of it, throw in a b series and buy a tranny with it. Ahaha. although i don't recommend doing anything I say. I mean come on look at how many posts i have, Like 6? LOL

haha, i noticed the "V-TECH", definitely have to get that right or you will get pulled around tied to the tail end of a k20a1 through mud. Welcome to the forum though, I didnt know that much about civics when i joined this forum, but reading all the things on this forum definitely has helped me a lot. I have a 93 ex sedan, the d16z6 is a good motor, its the si motor actually. I was thinking about turboing it as well, but i dont have the funds to support that right now, heck i dont have the funds to support any type of car, but i have 2 sitting in my driveway haha. If you are looking for a turbo kit, Pete has one for sale, $1500 i think is what he's asking for the whole set up, man i wish i had the money. But anyway, browse the site, and get to know your car, there's a lot to learn around here and we are all glad to help you.

An auto to a manual swap requires more than just a tranny and engine swap. Let's start with it being straight Cheaper to buy a front clip of the manual version of your car...you're going to need a LOT of pieces. I don't think it's worth it. But welcome to the forum.


P.S. My compy doesn't allow me to post in the DIY section. I tried -_-
