If you read the thread I'm expecting to pay somewhere between 1-2k COMPLETE... on any of the mentioned ventures...

The acura wouldn't cost more the 2k whole... that leaves me with EVERYTHING but the engine/tranny to part out... I can almost guarantee I'll make my money back and more...

The h22 is from my work... I should be able to get it for under 1k if not less for one we have that was in a fire... that will cost more to get running though...

The extra costs of the swap should be more than an additional 1k.

mounts, axels, computer reprograming, springs/struts, that's about it... I would most likely use the stock manifold (I believe it's possible).

I have full access to a shop with all the tools I could possibly need...

AND...

A. As mentioned... building a hybrid yourself is a LOT more satisfiing than buying a new acura.
B. I hate ALL acura's... the only one I like is the 95 or so legend... other than that I wouldn't drive one.
C. Buying ANY running car would cost more than I plan on spending on any of these plans.
D. NO factory car would perform even remotely close to a turbo'd d, a gsr civic or a h22 civic.
E. I have too much time and effort invested in this chassis.

I'm kind of balking on the h22 though... I may do it eventually... right now I'm really shooting for the whole acura...
