would a 2.0 4 cyl integra engine fit? My friends tell me that such an engine is capable of an easy 200+ hp. Also what are the cheapest engine types to buy?, i want a good engine but i lack the money...

also looking for a 944 engine to possible rebuild (though i lack most of the time or expertise) would such an engine work? It would be cool to find a 944 engine (w/ or w/o turbo) as a good performance boost.

Japanese motors all tend to be very big/wide. If you put a Toyota V8 beside a Chevy smallblock the toyota is positively huge.

Leave the honda engines in hondas - that's where they belong.

texor he is right honda engines aren't good spend the extra money and get a 924/944 engine to rebuild these engines are possible of getting that power out of them. just one request though dont rice this car out

[Texor]

well just cuz it woul dhave a jap engine (now i dont want one ) doesnt make it a ricer, a ricer is really a guy who wastes all his money on appearance (body kits, lighting, etc) and has a p-o-s car. the most common to rice out are jap cars cuz they ez to get kits for, so have no fear, there are no kits for it and i have no money to spend on them anyway, it looks cool enough and id rather spend my tiny sum on performance then ugly rediculous spoilers.

Since you don't have much money, I would suggest the little things you can do to increase the performance of the engine you already have... Port matching, a good camshaft...

If you can pull the motor, I think the only thing that will really increase the performance of the motor would be high compression pistons. If you rebuild it with 10:1 compression and combine that with the porting and camshaft, you might actually get some power out of it.
