Hi guys,
I am new here, I have been lurking for a fews weeks just reading up and checking out your sweet rides. I used to have an EG when I was in my Teens I had dreams of making it a machine not to be messed with but that all got lost along the way then I was involved in an accident and it was never the same. Now that I am older and wiser and I have a gigantic shed to work in I have decided to pick up another EG and do everything I ever wanted to do and do it right!
I own a Harley so my Civic is only going to be a commuter 3 months of the year allowing me to have bulk time to do some big projects.
When I picked up my original EG it had already has an engine conversion, and from Memory it was a H22A, the main thing I remember is it was a DOHC.
Whilst I don't want a race car, I do want something I can show off and it has a little extra omph, I have decided to do things in stages as another winter ends I can get to work on the next stage. I am thinking I want to do an engine swap and I have been looking at what others have been doing but I can't seem to find a solid consensus on an engine to settle on.
So I was wondering if I could get some thoughts, for a weekender that will be a daily driver 3 months of the year, that will eventually get a turbo, what would be a good motor to start with?
BTW I am in Australia, I don't know if that matters but worth mentioning.
Thanks for your time,
Thump
