engine swap
hi , i actually need some advice from you guys. i just bought civic ex 94 and i'm planning to do a swap. i've been looking around online and still confuse to decide which engine i should get. i have a budget around 3000-3500
my questions are:
- should i get jdm b16a2 or usdm b18c1
- about wiring things , obd 1 or 2 since it's jdm , can you explain it
- if i buy jdm b16a2 from online store such as nippon motors or hondamotorsonline , is it a complete swap , and what parts do i have to purchase
- i live in st louis , so is there any shops that can do the swap
- i just want all motor , no turbo or anything else , so you guys have a better opinion than jdm b16a1 or usdm b18c1
- which store that has a better deal and most realiable for those engine , i heard hondamotorsonline is good
i guess it's enough for now, maybe after you guys give me some advice, i will ask more again, thanks for the help, i really appreciate it
please e-mail me at cimet@hotmail.com
bye

Re: engine swap (cimet)
hey bud! I have a 92 dx hatch and I am going to do a us Gsr cause torque is good! the Gsr makes aprox 17-18 lbs more of torque in the 5500-7000 rpm range. Good for street ! B16a only makes about 111 lbs @ 7000k. good for A light weight hatch like mine (2150lbs) but you have the coupe or 4 door which weighs aprox 2400 stock I think. And the extra weight will slow down a b16a's power a bit , youll basically have to rev the **** out of it to enjoy it!. I have a friend with a mildly gutted civic four door w/usdm b18c1 and it has intake , header exhaust and runs mid 14's. and a pal with a hatch w/ b16a (intake, header, exhaust) and he is about the same. as the fourdor . Go GSR all the way baby I know of at least two people with that motor and love it . One of them has had a b16a and a gsr ...He wishes he had of whent b18c first!!
