Cheapest B series swap
I have a 92 cx hatch and the engine seriously feels like its going to die. I don’t want to fix it because the tranny grinds pretty bad ect and I hate to spend money on something I am going to replace. So my plans for a GSR swap are falling through and I am looking for the best possible solution to this situation. So if anyone has any suggestions on what Bseries I might be able to pick up cheap and hopefully one that will not be to much trouble to swap in.

I searched and it seems like a B16 is my best bet…

if your going to go b16 imo go h22 they cost sround the same but alot harder to swap in
a b18b1 would be a good swap for you as well and then theres always the potential for ls vtec

Re: Cheapest B series swap (w-a-o)
#1 Id say d-series plus turbo, cant go wrong, cheap parts
#2 Find an extra cheap d15 or something and drive that till you get money for your gsr
Most of the time car+no money=waiting
and it sucks

It depends on what type of power you are looking to get? If only around 300HP you could boost a D series, and it is cheap too. If more than that I would go ahead and try to get the GSR you want, because you can rebuild a d series VERY cheap. Probley no more than $175-275.

Re: Cheapest B series swap (racing_beat)
B18's are cheaper than B16... depends on if you just need a motor to drive.. or if you want one with power... if you want one with power... then you'll have a debate over B18's and B16's...

I am fine with just beating around with what I have now but I don’t know what’s wrong with it lol. All I can tell you is the engine bogs, smells like something is burning, and when driving up hill the car struggles in second. The tranny is gone but I can deal with that but not the bogging and the constant smell of burning something. I put some oil treatment in - it said something about stopping smoke and smell but that didn’t do much if anything. I put some fuel injection cleaner as well but I didn’t notice any improvements. The car doesn’t seem to have any leaks and I have never seen it smoke.
Thanks for the info - I would really like to deal with what I have an save up for a GSR swap if i can...

damnit, you guys beat me to it!
As everyone said, b18a1/b1 would be the cheapest swap. But a turbo D is money well spent.
