rebuild si

[rnbguy]

i seen a few threads on rebuilding a vtec, but how much is it to rebuild an si 92 engine seems worn out , i know vtec is 5k+ (dayamnnnnn)

and yeah just stock internals...

[rnbguy]

ii think it might be cheaper to just get a h23a eng+grbox and put it in huh

[rnbguy]

can anyone please tell me roughly atleast how much im looking at?

[connections]

look on liek ebay for a VTEC engine from japan or something, or local importers u coudl prob do it for 3k if you knew ppl. or less

thanx, sounds like a hassle though... so no1 here has ever done a rebuild on these cars?

... so no1 here has ever done a rebuild on these cars?

my guess is that when people's non-vtecs pack it in, they'll either sell the car or upgrade to a VTEC...at the end of the day you have to weigh up whats more beneficial for you in the long run...

spending afew grand on a rebuild or afew grand on a new engine...

yeah i get ya , thanx for the help guys, ive actually decided to get rid of the prelude idea and just got a civic 97 gli :)

na drop in a vtec bro! its best option 4 sure. you'll be disappointed with civic performance... you could spend like $2000 on internals doing a rebuild on h23a with performance parts from rocket industries, it'll probly go really hard but its still not vtec. go vtec best option ive done it trust me
