RE: VR6 Swap?
I know its a complete thread jack but hey I started this. I am really looking into just daily driving my car as it is now and building a turbo 88-91 CRX/Civic the right way... That B16A (built) swap with a GT35R look really nice. It would be track only...hehe but will curb my need for speed. And I can do it all for alot less than I would have to put into the TT....im so confused....
I'm make believe

If you want to run a turbo that big, you really should use a B20 block w/ b16 head or a k24 engine from a TSX. Both will spool much faster and still have plenty of rpms in it. Just just remember this one saying.... "Having a 600hp honda is like coming out of the closet, shocking at first, but still kind of gay"

Most honda's have atleast a 8k redline, so a gt3076r, gt3082, or gt35r would be better. The 3071r is still a little small for a .82 housing, 3076r is where most people start using the .82 (but thats on a 1.8t).
Im guess for about $15-18k you could have just about everything from car, turbo, supension, and wheels/tires. All depending on what you choose.
