i put a lot of money towards my car and don't consider it a waste. Not even a penny because anyone can buy an EVO or a BMW and make mad power with just a reflash but taking an accord from where it is to where it can be is something that is unique and out of the blue.

so i aim dreman today and he put my mind in perspective, told me about what can go wrong and what will go wrong if i do an h-series swap in cali, long story short, if i were to do a swap the best choice for me would be a k-series, but he told me about cost and such so im deciding to just start saving for a new car, don't get my wrong i still love my car and one day i plan on building it, but the cost is just not for me rite now, i apologize if i wasted anyone's time and apologize for creating a thread that will end up in archives, thanks again for everyone's input, best of luck with everyone's 6thgen :D

i don't think you read my last post lol :D but thanks for the advice :D

i did.. ur main concern is $$$, along with fears of problems during install.. g23t solves all tht... for $4000 (which is the price of a h22 swap, u could get a g23t)

or y not just boost the f23?

I had the same scenario and dilemma that was quickly solved with a 55 Wet shot of Zex nitrous oxide kit. That is the best bang for the buck if you don't plan on going balls with the car or don't have the kind of money.
A TSX is a great car and I would still love to own the first gen, but it's not as fast as you would think.
What kind of fast are you talking about? RSX-S and Civic Si fast or Evo/STI fast?
I think a TL is faster than the TSX.

well when i was chatting with dreman he told me about obd1 and he said u cant pass smog with obd1 and obd2 will cost more money and its a bitch to find, if u say the g23t will pass smog and is a better decision aim me or pm me and let's chat cuz it sounds interesting...no boost for me i like all motor :D


4000 for a h22 swap? damn thats hella money right there. i spent 1500 for my swap

1500??? Total??? For your swap???

If i get a tsx, its not gonna be for speed, its gonna be my weekend car lol just for driving and cruising, my show car, rims, sounds, etc.


thanks again for responses guys, excited to get more :D
