Ahh I asked the same thing. And I was strictly told that it was not worth it. Not only is it expensive as hell but you will spend hundreds on hours tinkering with the engine to get her into running condition. I was told it's a job you don't wanna try....but that's just my 2 cents!<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by not rice:

Actually it had no bolt ons, it's stock except for type S pistons and a VTEC head. For all that work I don't think it was really all that impressive.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by jpprelude:
Just dig around and you'll find it. It has a couple bolt ons, but still impressive.

How are you going to get oversteer out of a head swap. granted the VTEC head (and assorted wiring/sensors/etc.) probably weighs more but I doubt it weighs enough to throw off the handling that much. It's not like dropping a H22A into a civic HB.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by jbx:
One think to keep in mind, if it's strictly for drag that's fine. But taking curves would be. You'll have Oversteer.![]()

You should be talked out of it b/c:<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by not rice:
now i feel like im getting talked out of swapping! i havent put a header on it yet b/c i was waiting. now i think a header will just have to do. ive heard the best about DC's SS. i dont want my sh!t to crack. the color change doesnt bother me...ill work on keeping it clean. would you all suggest something else?? let me know...summer is coming and i won't wanna be slow in the nice weather.
thanx</font>
