Which engine to swap with?

[b16asi226]

yea, it will include the tranny, but the i doubt the install. go with the C1, you can find one for about $2000, install will cost the same, and you should have some cash left for I/H/E

DXorcist77 which part of sc are u from? if u have the money go for b18c5 but if u on a budget get b18c1 imo

I'm in the ARMY so i'll be in Columbia @ Ft. Jackson in Feb. Maybe if i do a little more begging and eatting , my budget might jump a grand.

 

[lilvi3tboix1]

columbia from where i live is 1 1/2 hour

 

[lilvi3tboix1]

i got couple more month to go before i get a b18c5 swap

I can make that trip for a swap. Let me know how it comes out.

 

[DXorcist77]

I still don't know what the b18c5 belongs to. help out this n00b!

 

[b16asi226]

it belongs in the integra type-r

 

[9civic7]

yea im with everybody else b18c1 for turbo and b18c5 for na

 

[b16asi226]

no, sorry, it belongs in a '92 VX with 11:1 pistons, I/H/E, new valve train, and a wicked suspension with many hours on the dyno setting it up to run autcross...YEA!!!

 

[DXorcist77]

I just found this out @ TOP END Motorsports. B18c1=180hp
B18c5=200hp. Nice! Thanx to all who posted. I'll let u know what i went for and how it turned out.

 

[DXorcist77]

Quick question. Should i hold off on getting a Greddy EVO exhaust built for a 96-00 civic coupe? Will that effect my swap?

 

[St0ck_CiVic]

not to bother you or any thing have u heard of the b20... i think that the b20 is better but its just a suggestion and cheaper. if you do go that way u need a type r head...

 

[DXorcist77]

why do suggest the B20? What's so good about it? How much Hp will it give me? So far i'm thinking of either B18c1 or C5.

 

[anekin007]

stick with a c1 or c5, which is smog legal.

 

[St0ck_CiVic]

never mind what i said i'd vote for the H22A7, if you wanna go all out. it has about 220 hp all motor with about 160 lbs of torque. if you wanna be crazy you could add a turbo on it. but this swap is expensive. good luck.

 

[DXorcist77]

H22 huh? i hear that engine is too damn heavy, but that sounds like a sick-ass swap if i could afford it. What about my question?

If I get a Greddy EVO cat-cback for a 96-99 DX, will it fit a B18C5?

 

[vi3tboi714]

correct me if im wrong, but an h22 is like 70 lbs heavier than the B series motor, but as far as b20, i dunno how many times other ppl and myself have elaborated on this, but b20 is not a reliable engine, although fast ,you cannot rev high rpm, and the engine will prolly blow apart after a year or two..i know this from seeing ppl having their tranny blown apart before, just go N/A wit a JDM Type R and you should do fine

Sounds like the thing to do.Thanx.

 

[civic31g]

i would go with the b18c1 rebuild it and slap on a turbo and boost this sh*t out of it. as far as the evo. just wait untill you got it in and get a custom one. just to make sure it fits right, should cost about the same.

 

[St0ck_CiVic]

if it is for a dx it may not fit. depending on what kind of engine you get, you should buy a full cat for that type of engine. i don't think a D series exhuast will bolt on a B or H series. Unless you have like extentions and stuff.
