OK, SC/Turbo combo, I hear you. I'll keep that in consideration. Sorry I haven't responded sooner, its been a bad week! I blew my rod, spent the last week with my mech looking at different options for this problem.
First; we were going to go with a JDM Civic Type R motor swap, including trans, ECU, and front suspention. That turned out to be a bad idea. More money would be needed in the long run to make it all work properly. So scratch that.
We decided that a complete rebuild was in order- not just a typical rebuild- a Civic 1.6L SOHC VTEC Blower motor.
See what you think about this?
Bored/Stroked, Port/Polish, Polished crank, Forged rods, Low-compression pistons, Twisted valves, Titanium springs, JR cam, Copper headgasket, -my JRSC-, Fuel pressure regulator, JR ECU upgrade, Stage III clutch, and all guages (boost,fuel press,oil press,h2o temp,a/f ratio) + all my other mods.
Installed with warrenty- (parts/labor) for the same price of a 1.6L SOHC VTEC new from "Jasper" or "Mid-Atlantic"
What do you think of that? Does it sound like a good deal?
