I HAD to do this swap in a matter of 3 days. Removed a tired old D15/D16 frankenstein in favor of a high displacment F23 accord motor with turbo internals, 65mm garrett, front mount, blow off, was the plan, boosted beast sleeper. Did all the work by myself in a matter of three days. (I've never been so exhausted in my life) Never finished it.
Which was then traded for:
1990 Nissan 240SX SE Fastback, not that gay coupe/pignose configuration.
After I installed the aftermarket wheel, harness and sway bars.
I dont have many pictures of the 240 because I discovered massive frame rot on the chassis and also evidence the car was in a massive accident and not safe to drive. I sold it for $1100. tee hee.

Here's a video from when I did the exhaust on Sabine. sorry for the crap audio quality, this was in fact filmed with a potato
In my younger days, I did a stupid Hot Version intro of my car when I first bought it. (yes, it was that gay.) Funny thing is; the guy speaking Japanese is talking about a Lan Evo VIII. hardy har

Yeah, I was never a fan of the chuki bumper either. The initial plan was a supercharger and a maybe sometime down the road, a Silvia conversion. I wanted a Sil-Eighty so bad at the time but it's so hard finding a decent platform because 240's are treated like such beaters.
Thanks for the compliments guys. What year EK9 are you getting Hybrid?

1998´
It has some minor mods, nothing ricey or crappy just performance parts. But the coolest thing is, that it has new semi slicks on it and the track season is starting soon here, cant wait

Hatch or Coupe?
Just throw in an H22 and call it day. I was never a fan of anything under 2.0 liters of displacment. Maybe because I'm a boosthead.
You'll be chirpin day and night.

That's all I ever did with my cars, I never got the oppurtunity to race them save for maybe one or two occasions.
I remember running 15.000 flat at my local dragstrip Englishtown a few years back in the BMW. Then there were random highway races with the Civic.

The only reason im not a fan of the K20 swap is because of the massive amounts of fabrication you have to do. If it's done right, it would be a beast of a car. Probably 11's or 12's.

But still its a lot of work, its not just bolt on trust me. One person here swapped k20 to dc2 integra, plus some other parts aswell, put out 275hp but not a bolt on

Lucky...I had to grind out my hump to fit a cable shifter. I used H22 motor mounts so it was a bolt in affair but the K-tuned shift box gave me nightmares.
