Engine Swaps?
I was just wanting to know out of the B16, B18, B20, and the Type R which is better to have fully built and which will give you more power for the money? Thinking about the B20 but would like other opinions thanks.

Re: Engine Swaps?
even though this has been covered, ill offer an answer.
if you are gonna build it, why waste the money on a type r if you are taking out all the stuff that made it a type r? just my 0.02

Well I know that this question more than likely has already been asked but I am new to the form and I have a 95 civic DX coupe and am thinking about putting a B20 all motor fully built and was wanting to know if the B16 or the B18 fully built would be more horse power or not?

Thank you I went to a shop a JDM shop in Phoenix and the guy had told my friend that for 6 grand that a fully built B20 motor in my car would put me at like the mid to High 12's so I was just wanting to see other peoples opinions. Thanks again.

Well I have not got the engine yet. The only other thing is I dont know many shops down in Phoenix. I would like to find someone that can fully build the motor and I may even look into the B20 vtec but I want to find a place that will do good work and will not rip me off too. So still looking and will try to find other shops in Phoenix. Thanks

Re: Engine Swaps?
well I was told 6000 for a fully built B20 motor so I am going to save about that much if not 8000 just to make sure. But would like to save money anywhere possible.

Re: Engine Swaps?
that is what I think I will end up going with now the only problem is making sure that I find the right people to put the motor in and also make sure they dont rip me off. Like I said I dont know very many companies around phoenix but I will have to start looking and pricing.

Re: Engine Swaps?
the real answer. do what you want to do. i have 10K and im rebuilding a b18b because i WANT TO and i still get **** for it.
first figure out what you want to get out of it hp and such. then figure out your budget. then figure out what you would be happy with.
