engine swap

[iwakunicivic]

What engine should i drop into my 96 civic dx?

 

[child_racer]

depends on how much power you want and how much you want to pay

i prefer type R stuff.....but thats just me.....the majority of people get GSR's or B16A2's..........type R's and H-series are less common, but still practicle ...IMO

 

[Slick_99]

get yourseld a d16y8 and boost or supercharge into a monster!! LOL!!

 

[jeffk182]

I would either get a B18C1 or an H22. Try to be original =P

 

[anfrey]

how is a b18c1 original? along with the b16a2 it is one of hte most popular swaps....

now, a b16a3 would be original, as they are somewhat rare... but the originality would only lie on what is stamped on the block

 

[ben]

how about a b16b or a b18c6

 

[Dr.Anus]

I've heard K20a engine swaps from RSX's are becoming more popular. And it would be original for at least a little while.

 

[Mr. Lin]

How general can this question get? Give us some more information besides "what motor should I swap?"

 

[SeanMc300]

c6??? yeah, what do you want to get out of your motor? whats your hp plans? what type of driving? are you going to modify it?

 

[anfrey]

i believe the c6 is either the canadian ITR or the european ITR

 

[illicon2003]

just turbo it, unless you eventually wanna turbo a b-series...cause turbo d16>b series in any venue.

 

[iwakunicivic]

i tryin to get the most hp without spending more than 3000 and the h22a is too much work to swap cause u have change s**t to the supension cause its so heavy

 

[edhgreatone]

3000 that would be perfect for a turbo setup and you beat any swap

I'd surely go tha turbo route

 

[Blowncivic1320]

amen my friend

Just how much hp and trq can you pull out of a D16 with a turbo kit, and would the cost per hp ratio be cheaper than getting a b16b?

turboD16 is your friend.......... http://turbod16.com/viewtopic.php?t=4140
they have some good dyno's and without a lot of mods. And turbo-ing a D16 would cost less than gettin' a type R motor cost per hp...........but like everyone knows, the B16B will have higher limits in the end, if you ever dropped that much cash into it

 

[smitty82pu]

if you turbo you could also try a b18b.. it is real turbo friendly like the d series because of the lower compression ratio compared to the other b series motors.. good luck and just find what you like.. dont let someone else choose for ya cause they think something else sux..
