Guest Iria Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 B16 or B18 engine swap is always a good start smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Ben Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 YES!!!!!!!!! Do an engine swap. If you ask me go with the b16 for that style. And if you want more info on it look in Sport Compact Car from April 20002. They do an engine swap into that gen Civic. And the 2-3 months before that they run a b-series parts guide, top and bottom end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lojik Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 You can try thepartstrader.com or just do a search for honda parts. I good, low mileage, b16 will probably run anywhere from $1300 - $2500? Correct me if I'm wrong guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Ben Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 you're looking to spend around around 1500-2000. The best place to get it from is importautosalvage.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest extheflow Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 with a b16 look for about 140 to 150 at the wheels with bolt ons, a b18 will get you about 160 with the same mods.b16 or b18 with turbo makes a nice combo. smile.gif the swap is a direct fit so if you have some tools and basic shop aptitude you can do it yourself.

Turbo Ben Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 If you swap in the b16a you need to get 1) one with a hydro tranny 2). special motor mounts (preferably Hasport, they're the best) 3). a wiring harness 4). ECU 5). b16 axles I think that's all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Ben Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Yeah I think you mught be right about it just dropping in. I don't know too much about the 92-95 engine swaps. I was just going off of what I know, the 88-91 Civic. He would have to make sure he got one with the hydro clutch to make thie swap a whole lot easier also. As for Accordfanatic recomending going to jdmhondaparts.com I've heard too many people getting srewed over by them. Go to http://hybrid.honda-perf.org/ they cover alot of info on swaps. And once again get the engine from www.importautosalvage.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
