Hey all,
Im a noob here so im sorry in advance if my questions are retarted. I got a 93 civic coupe ex and im wondering if the engine is worth moding or should i just do a swap. I herd swaps are real nice but im herd that swaps can get expensive. anyways i wanted to get a aem cold air intake for my stock engine and mabey next spring a new exhaust. I also wanted the apexi n1 catback exhaust, but if i get the exhaust and a swap later on will it still fit? Thanks in advance

if you can afford a swap, then get the swap. if you cant afford the swap, then mod. your engine is worth modding. but swaps are soo much more worth the extra dollar.

swap is worth every cent, and yeah the your aem intake and the apexi N1 will fit the B16.

I have a 93 dx and didn't plan on swaping until people told me SWAP...SWAP...SWAP. now I know swaps are so much more worth it.

Screw Singles, I am building a b20b with Vtec head. They can get expensive but you get to go alot faster.

Swap is will cost you more of course, so it really depends on your budget, if I were you I'd wait save the money and go for the swap!

I'm going to go with the b18c1 or the b18b1
the c1 comes out of an Integra GSR (94+?)
the b1 comes out of an Integra ls.
for the b1 you want to get the 94 or 95 because your car is obd1 and if you get a 96+ engine which is obd2 you'll have to buy new mounts to put the engine in your car.
