93 civic engine swap
k i got a d15 right now... plannin on doin a complete engine swap... lookin towards a b16 right now... now at torontojdm theres 2 different b16...the one im lookin at is the JDM B16A1 OBD0 ENGINE but the model description says its for ACURA/HONDA INTEGRA 90-93.... would this fit and still work or should i go for the JDM B16A 2ND GEN OBD1 ENGINE

I agree with Jones04. I B16 isn't what it's hyped up to be...it may have 170 HP (minus a few because of the age) but only at high revs. I know people that were disappointed after the swap lol. Point is it has ****ty torque. Get an Integra motor or source parts for an Ls-Vtec motor, it would probably cost roughly the same as a motor from TorontoJDM.
Let the flaming begin.

i would be down to get a JDM B18B OBD1 but i got a 93 civic dx... this one says that its for a 94-95 civic...and ive scoped out the the whole site and theres none for a 93 civic.... would this still fit my car or should i stick wit the b16..?

You can fit any B-seies in your car......Some will require a little more work then others but all will fit.
You can put a B18b obd-1 in your ride easily.......we did one for my buddy a couple of months a'go.

how is the B18 faster tho? acceleration wise or something else...?i am going to turbo it once i got more money coming in and i am trusting what all of u are sayin but i just wanna kno the difference if anyone can tell me?

^ bigger displacement = more torque = quicker acceleration
dont go b16 its too tiny.
heres a vid of my JRSC b18c5 stripped eg 227 whp 155 tq against some b16 stripped eg with stage 2 cams "untuned" he said.

get the b18c gsr motor if u can find one cheap. best motor for boost.
and the turbo kit/install/tune is gonna cost as much if not more than the engine and swap. boost is an expensive hobby!
