Is this True

I have about a $1300. My tranny is shot and my motor has about 204k so Im just changing out everything at once. Ive been pricing just stock replacement motors for a 93 LX. But every place I call says the 94-95 VTEC accord engines are cheaper. Everywhere I call local wants like $1500 for the motor and tranny does that seem like a fair price, Im installing it. I see cheaper prices at the online places but then you have to deal with shipping. I just need some advice, Im not really looking for more power just something that will give me another 100k miles.

most places u can get an h22 with tranny for around 1900 bucks or cheaper

F22b DOHC non-vtec cheap reliable and a boost in performance

go h22 bro...

[90AccordSiR]

Hes only got 1300. Hes not going to be able to do a h22 with that much plus the h22 is over rated and way over priced unless you get a hook up. Do what you want man but do some research for sure there is a lot of knoladge on this sight so find what you wan tand go for it.

If you have the option to save up for the h22a imo I would do that, but if you need your car fixed right away then I would have to agree with the f22b dohc non vtec idea. I was in the same situation but I had the option to hold out for a couple weeks and just ride the bus to save up for the h22. I chose the cheap route cause I wanted my car back as soon as possible. Not that I dont love my f20a dohc, but I now wish I would have waited for that extra power.

Thanks for the input, my car is running right now but not sure for how long but I do have a back up transportation in case it goes. Im thinking of driving to California to save on shipping its only 5 hours to LA from where I live. Id like to do the H22 but Im still reading through all the threads, theres a bunch. I get a little nervous on the H22 some people it goes flawless others Ive read they have nothing but CEL codes and nickel & dime crap. I really couldnt afford that. Im really looking for something where I wont have to weld tranny mounts and all that. Just a direct bolt in.

buy a new rans and mtor then turbo hehehehehe

Im glad I read a little bit more I guess the auto tranny bolts right up to the CB7 chassis. No welding required is that right.
