google mate...

but generally its not worth the effort, and the money spent on upgrading everything (trust me, there are a lot of things you never thought of) you could have sold your car and gotten a vtir.

Think you're asking in the wrong forum mate.

I'd try somewhere like www.ozhonda.com/

That, or buy something fast.. like a Nissan..

the H22a is the best option for any honda as long as the engine bay can fit it in...
i have a mate from home who is sellin a h22a half cut.
there is also a bloke i know who has done the conversion before to his accord he is part of the local car forum here in wagga which is
www.streetmodified.com.au his name is dtaila and he might even have his progress on when he did it on the site somewhere or on ozhonda.com or riverinacars.com... ozhonda forum would have a lot of progress n how to reports on how to do the conversion...

the engine alone? or a front cut? cos youre going to have to replace everything including the brakes (everything through to the master cylinder and abs), computer... whatever you think is it will cost you? double that.

i think the goal here is for it to be a show car n for it to be a show car it has to be different n unique n with that engine it will also have the go to go with it...

Show car = so much money dude. Engine swap will cost a lot.. then you got so much more, paint, kit, interior, rims, suspension, brakes etc.

So much cash to spend on an older car.. but hey, if you got the money, and that's what you wanna do, good luck

show cars arent original these days - bright colour, chrome rims (or should i say rimZZZ) and a dodgy vinyl job on the inside. oh yeah dont forget a fake intercooler on the front (i cant believe chrome rims are still in)

dont waste your money... trust me in a couple of years you will feel stupid for spending that much on a car, and also how much you spent to make the car look the way it did

just buy an already fast car... or if you are P plate restricted get something like a renault clio sport 182 and learn how to drive a superb handling car...

Just save up for a few years bro, get yourself something nice.

Hm, really?

Here in NSW, it's illegal for P-platers to drive anything turbocharged, so I dunno how they get away with it!

Maybe they all got rich parents.. *sigh*

ive got no idea how they get around that law... i dont think its enforced that hard.

around my area, id say it was the easy availability of loans.

thats a real car? if so i prefer my 'fake' car

btw, im not sure about honda's but my zx first started off as an NA (3.0 V6). I bought a twin turbo motor and gearbox for 4k and $1000 labour to fit them. I seriously dont think it will cost you any much more than that as any extra parts you need are will be readily available for honda's
