Awesome thanx for the advice but i know my engine is a baby not much to it but if a swap is the best thing what new motors should i look at dual overhead cam v-tec ? How much am i lookin at spendin where the best place to shop for turbos website wise.

well...it depends on how far you wanna go...i go to a dual cam motor...And look into a rev-hard kit if you dont wanna spend a whole bunch of money and still make good power. we put a rev-hard kit on a bone stock gsr and made 300hp at about 12lbs of boost...since thats all the stock map sensor will allow...but even at that...the car still went mid 12's

Welcome to the site!

Is it your stock motor? If so then you have the d16z6 which comes stock in the 93-95 ex coupes...the d15b is the jdm version of that motor...both are sohc vtec!

Honestly your motor does have a lot of potential...it's just a matter of how much you want to spend or look to get out of the car! If you're looking for quick easy power then a swap is most likely the best thing for you! But boosting your d can be a damn good thing as well....so don't underestimate it!

heh.... d series = damage series sorry ive never been a big fan of the d series...i know they have potential...but i just love the dohc.

Both of those things are definetly somthing to consider a rev hard kit ..Ill look into that, not a fan of the d- series lol well i havent driven in a dual cam before so i couldnt tell you the difference . I do wanna take my car far and i dont want to cut cost in order to just get it done sometimes the extra penny will take you further

Id like to boost the engine i have now cuz it is a good motor and i dont by anymeans underestimate it and spending a few extra pennys isnt a problem but i do want to get alot out of it and thanx for the advice ill put pics up tomorrow its all stock right now.
