ok so here's the plan. i got a 1993 civic hb, and i want much more power, hence engine swap in the title. what would be a good engine to go for....maybe a 95 sir or a gsr. what are the specs like on those(and price), and woul they be fairly simple to transplant.

and also, is it reletivly the same, doing a swap with a crx aswell. same engine bay size, compatability?


, thanks for any imput u have

Ge0

im feeling a B16a.....but more imput would be helpful.

or maybe its too early in teh morning haha

Si-R B16 will cost about $3000

GS-R B18 will run about $1000 more. Im thinkin b16, if u got the extra cash put it into a intake, header, exhaust. Gotta be more specific with ur goal, u gonna turbo, N/A tune, NOS. a b16 is not "super fast" how fast u wanna go??

turbo the stock motor

1000 for a B18?? a b or c? I heard the B18c is like ~4000-4500

Cynikal.Mindset

that is for sure the best BANG for the buck lol

cee_mon

I suggest a LS motor...B18B...decent power stock for a hatchback and later on you can turbo that bitch and make a **** load of power on a stock block.

best bang for buck is b18b for a 5th gen one forsale for 1500 bux in the forsale section.... and a zc with si tranny for a crx..

but if you got the money then gsr for 5th gen and b16 for crx

im not looking for anything extreme, just something better than stock. mayble like 180-220 somwhere in that range, ill prob be adding headers, intake, and exaust.

GIZZER all the way. (GSR)

by the way.. TeeJayDM... 1sykhatch meant $1000 MORE than a b16.. not $1000

Ge0

if i go with a gsr engine....wont there be a conflict with the exaust? cause you have to put on an integra header , then there's a civic hb exaust. is there some customizing that has to be done there?

spracingsports

with most swaps there will be exhaust changes needed.... same as for b16 or b18

you want 180-220 at the wheels or crank?

Mini Me - use your own block.

180hp maybe...

Considering you have 100 (at most) on tap now and you can cruise easily at 120-130kmh, a 40 - 80hp increase would be more than enough..

Ge0

170-180 at wheels would be nice

Guest

so he was referring to the B18c then

Coz I saw someone posted a B18B for like $1500, if he could find a B18B for a grand then that would be nice hahaha since I misread then sorry about that.

If he wants a 180-220 then he has to get a B18c right? a B16a can only go ~160 right??? Im not sure about the other B16's

Ge0

srry for this newb question, but wat car comes with the b16a
the sir right?

scarlemthug

if your just gonna do I/H/E with a swap i dont think you will get over 180whp. I believe its about 140 hp at the wheels for a GSR although thats probably off quite a bit.

nitrus is the best bang for the buck, instant hp
jsut be careful
