i really am curious, what enginge i should go with, i have a 97 2.2 but i was wondering would it be better to switch to a 2.4 a do a full build up or pull a engine out of some other car and do that , i am a lot better with improts,. so just wnat to know what you guys have doen what kind of real power have you gotten and aproox what have you spent, lets say i have a 2.4 engine and tranny and i got like $10 000 what can i do and what what would kind of pwer and speed am i looking at i would prefere turbo to supercharger also pre nitrous give me some ideas, what can i do and to let you know i am trying to go up again a 92 acura integra LS/VTEC, with either and sir or gsr head full exhust and turbo running at 8 pounds of boost, also if i am lookinf for a 2.4 enging i belives the 95-96 block was the strongest but i amy be wrong pls let me know thanks

or should i throw in a 06 cobolt ss engine tranny and comp and then what kind of tuning can i do on that and if any guys have put in a 06 ss 2.0 out of a cobolt did you have a big issues with engine geometry or was it pretty straight forward

doesnt really matter what engine you chose, if you have knowledge about it, you can make it powerful...

start searching around for all the engine posts, alot of info has been posted in the last 3 months alone on what who did what and how much etc.

Event is so correct

What people fail to realize is a motor swap is not cheap and not easy. You first of all have to pretty much find a donor car and take EVERYTHING out of that engine bay and install it into yours. You also need the transmission because your 2.2 OHV tranny will not fit onto an 2.4 or ECO motor. So now your talking about money to either buy a car or buy all the parts from a Salvage yard.

Now you have to take everything out of your engine bay, put everything from the donor car into yours, wire everything up (which is a ton of work) and hope it starts up with no issues.

Your talking about alot of money to get an donor car or the donor cars parts and alot of money to pay someone to install it for you. For this amount of money, it's not worth gaining 30 or so HP when you can have way more power with a turbo setup and properly tuned.

Believe it or not, your 2.2 OHV has potential but you just need to the knowledge to bring that potential out.

build up the 2200

join the ranks of the true elite


any of the engines can be fast, but each has its own requirements to get there.

the twin cam engines are easier to make quick with bolt ons, the OHV requires a little more research and work, but don't let anyone tell you they can't be as fast as the 2.4 or the eco cuz its not true.. the ohv DOES yield results when the proper areas are adressed... namely headwork and valvetrain.

its really up to you which one you wanna work with... you already have the 2.2 in the car... thats what made me decide to build up the 2200... cuz I already have it
