Hey guys I'm new here. I just bought a 1996 honda accord for a steal motor and tyranny are out and I'm just trying to get info on what kinda engine to put into it. I want to make it fast well as fast as I can make it. Thanks sorry I am a newb

 

If you want it to be fast and have the money, put whatever engine and transmission you want in there. If you are on a limited budget, drop in the same motor and transmission the car was built with.

Basic rule of thumb if you want to build a car which is faster than how it was originally designed; pick two of the following three criteria:

1. High power
2. High cost
3. High reliability

 

So if I'm looking to reach 450 hp what is a good engine to do that with

 

Well I want to make anywhere up from 400 hp. I'm on a budget but not to big lol. And I have nothing but time and I bought it for that reason a project and something I built and made that fast rather then buying one, I'll appreciate the ponies more lol.i just need a foundation to start my build I have a motor don't know what motor it is I know it's a vtec the original motor wasn't vtec. I just want to know where to start with motor and tyranny before I go and put it in nosing I'm gonna need a different motor. Thanks again, and from the three higher power but not to expensive my wife would kill me if I spend anymore then 10 grand to make my dream honda lol

 

High reliability and high power

 

If you're on a budget, then you will have to compromise on one of those two goals.
