hello
So am in the process of building a FI 99 civic hatchback
the car was in my family since day 1 of its life as a DD but as it grow older and start breaking up i bought the car wanting to make a fun little car
the car came with the D15z4 engine and automatic transmission and weired ecu with 2 plugs only, some sort of P3S as i recall which is common in cars sold in Asia
the engine was a total loss so i put a ZC Sohc and since manual tranny is as hard to find localy as a unicorn i drove 1200 mile .got my self Two d tranny swap and a d16y8 style Intake but comes little bigger and some other parts which included a near new Blitz supercharger (clutch opreated) and couple of IHI impreaze turbos IHI Rhf5hb
well i rebuild the car to a near zero mile restroation but the car is not fun , its slow dead slow .
i did my newbie search , i do own a car repair shop and am a car guy but more of american stuff and a evo 4 which i had back in the day. so honda in general is challenge that i want to take.
i did visit to the local shops in hope to find an insterting D engine to swap but all ZC sohc or weird stuff like a D16B on a HRV and yes its original
but i found sh1t load of F22 , f23 ,f20 you name it accord engines which i can get for the price of a couple of coffes ar starbucks . but all Automatics , manual f is impossible to find
so am in a pickle i have two blocks ZC and a a d17 and a supercharger which is capable of 4 psi boost i can get my hand on ZC and F engines . and two complete D tranny swaps.which one is already in the car . which some people say its good some say its weak.
and i orederd a speeduino to control what ever will be in the car.
So if i want a fun car lets say 200-250 hp which i can drive for long rides what should i do.
A D rebuiled will save me alot of work but will cost an arm and leg + international shipping.
An F will be cheap but require alot of work
And yes the SC is in the process of getting welded on the intake manifold to ceate something similar to JR SC.
And i choice the IHI turbo to creat a low end power and minmum lag
