whats your price range

I thought it was easier to drop a B18 into a EG over a D16. Just my opinion though. A 94-95 Integra Swap will drop right into your car.

turbojdmhatch

any b or d series will drop right in without any major modification to ur bay

ALLxMOTOR EG

If your on a budget i would swap a B18a

xxstuntin4life

i would go with a d15 non vtec.. they bolt right in..

turbojdmhatch

what makes the d15b7 any different from the d16z6?

batallic

VTEC, 20 or so more hp, a better transmission if he gets the full swap,

turbojdmhatch

i meant that...the difference in difficulty with swapping in a d15 compared ot a d15...there is none...you have to get a different harness but thats it if you dont want to wire VTEC in

Do you not have to change your mounts when swapping a B series motor into your car?

I'm pretty sure swapping a D16 into a D16 bay would be much easier than swapping any other type of engine in.

batallic

yea u do u have to use b series mounts, linkages, axles, engine and trans,
dropping a D is the easiest u can use everything juse have to wire VTEC if u choose to use the VTEC engines

iamthefollower

actually the only mount you have to change on a b series is the back L mount.. I have a D15 mount on the top of my tranny and a D16 post mount.... but like batallic said, you have to run new linkages and axles.. I would swap a D16 in.. you already have the tranny, axles, linkages, and such... just wire vtec up and run a p28...

4serioferio

Thought so.

Yeah, but whats the point of swapping a D back in.

The truth is if your gonna pull your engine out and do all the work, you may as well drop in something better.

D15 and D16 aren't much different, and there isn't going to be a noticeable change in power.

I don't know if I read your post right but it sounds you plan to buy a swapped ex or si with 3k? Or buy and do the swap yourself? I'm sorry, most likely not gonna happen.

eg uses same mounts. B series all day. depending what you wan to do.
LS turbo.
high compression single.
all motor b-16 or gsr

If you have a lil cash pick up a d16z6 for like 20 bucks or out of a dumpster somewere lol and turbo it.

jdmboy96

Lol

I agree completely. If going through the hassle of a swap at all, do a b-series. Even the B18B will provide a lot more initial power and any b-series swap is a fantastic platform for future plans.

That eg

alright heres the deal i got a d16 in my car now i have no budget range im jus not to sure what to swap to a b16 or b18. i just wanna drop 1 in with out fabrication so h22 and k20 probably out the question

arrocha87

id go with a gsr swap. probably best hp and tq. go b18c1(gsr) with the gsr tranny and an LS 5th gear.

civichb03

you can drop a k20 or a h22 but theres alot of cutting and welding envolved...id go w a b18..b16s are cheeper but once u get a b16 youll want a b18...but thats jusy my opion

iamthefollower

i wouldn't put an ls 5th in a gsr tranny... the gsr 5th is already a good gear

ALLxMOTOR EG

B18c1

arrocha87

i like the GSR 5th as well but the LS 5th will give you a lil better mpg in normal highway cruising and u still have GSR 1-4 for the acceleration. Just my opinion ofcourse, doesnt mean any1 has to agree!

4serioferio

I would say that is far from "dropping in".

H22 and K20 are HIGHLY involved swaps, and require a ton of modification, not to mention $500 mounts.

I want to swap my engine just as bad as you, but I know when I am not able.

Buying a B16/B18 + installation could easily be 3000 alone.

Of course there are always "better deals" somewhere; but you never know if they are trustworthy sources.

I would turbo your D16, they are a decently stout motor and can handle up to about 10 psi(?) Completely stock, which can easily trounce a B-series swap.

Than, if you blow it, you only lost a $500 dollar engine, sell your turbo get some extra money, and swap that bad boy out for something else.

Not that it would blow, just a possibility
