fr8oholic Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 i'm running their stage II turbo kit for the mkiii jetta. car runs strong but i'm not entirely satisfied with ATP's kit. it's a ton of power but it's not a bolt on kit that'll pass inspection a year later. i need a 100 shot and awd...

GLIK$ Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 i got a quick question what would be the easiest engine swap on a 89 accord LXi? b16a? h22a? i want to possibly put a turbo engine on it, like an eclipse 220hp turbo engine. anyone know if thats a really hard swap?

OPIUM3 Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Stage II: Turbonetics Turbocharger Performance T3, Blow-Off Valve GReddy Type S. That is some nice stuff in that kit if I do say so myself. The only thing that would be better in my opinion is a HKS super Sequential BOV, like I have. I heard the Type S the other day at Dyno day, and I thought it was cool, but it lacked something. But its all subjective anywho. You can hear the HKS SS BOV in the beginning of this Supra Video. Its the very opening supra... Its soo great. My car sounds exactly like that minus 2 cylinders... (go figure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TEARZ Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Originally posted by fr8oholic tearz, i went with coilovers. they're ht and dampening adjustable. it was the first mod on the mkiv. add a rear sway bar and you've got some very good handling. look for group buys on vortex, that's how i cashed in. i got $600 bucks off a set that ran for $1500 normally. hmmm.... i like the idea of coilovers, but i'm a little concerned with both drop and harshness of ride... what kind did you get koni, h&r? would you mind elaborating a little bit on how it affected your ride quality and handling? also what swaybar are you running in the rear, neuspeed? any clearance issues? how much drop does your setup give you, and any ground clearance problems? the drop is an issue for me around here because i deal with some serious snow and tough roads here and there. something like 3"s may be too much, but i don't know for sure... i really want my car to handle like a motherfucker, but i don't want to feel like i'm driving a tractor. i'm considering getting that eibach strut and spring kit that people always talk about on the vortex... seems pretty good, especially if you add a 28mm rear sway. drop is an even 1.3" all around... aesthetically i could go for more, but practically, that might be the right choice. sorry for all of the questions, but i'm damn interested. i think i need to email ya....

It could fetch anywhere from $300-$700 depending on its condition, mileage, etc. B18B motors are good for turboing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPIUM3 Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Originally posted by unibomber! engine swap for an intergra jdm b 18 c5 or how bout an h22a ? there is no such thing as a jdm B18C5. JDM motors don't have numbers after the last letter. So they only have Type R B18C's. Originally posted by unibomber! i was riding in my mans mkiv earlier and he got dipped on by a wrx. i thought it was kind of funny but my friend wasn't amused. heh, guy had an exhaust from what i could tell but he just walked my boys 1.8t. wah, wah, wahhhhhh... Yeah, the only thing they got going for them really is that damn AWD. I raced one on the freeway about a month ago with at least an exhaust, and I dipped on him almost as fast as I dipped on the prelude that was tryin to keep up. After you got traction, the AWD doesn't help you that much if you got the power and weight ratio on your side. Wish that some of you VW kids could come over to my neck of the woods. I've never seen a fast one. Not saying that they aren't fast, it's just that I've only seen them on race vids from the net, and hearing you kids talk about them all the time. But i'm sure the same goes for hearing about a fast nissan from me. I don't care what label it has on it, just as long as it goes fast! No discrimination from me..
