Hi! I´m just about to buy my first civic and I´m a bit confused! I´m very close to purchase a 93 civic hatch with the 1.5 90hp engine (VX EG4 I think?) and I want to make sure what the differences are between the 1.5 and the 1.6 VTi? I don´t want to buy a 1.5 VX civic and then don´t have the same possibilities for further modifications as I would with a 1.6 EG6.

From what I have understood the B18C (integra Type R engine) fits right into the Civic 1.6 VTi (EG6 right?) and I´m wondering if it will fit just as easy in the 1.5 version? Same thing with transmission upgrades, will they be just as possible with the 1.5 civic?

Are all the brackets/screw holes in the chassi the same in every 5th generation civic hatch? Do I have the same modification possibilities with the 1.5 civic as with the 1.6 when doing other mopdifications like suspension tuning and brakes, drivetrain...?

I can´t afford a 1.6 eg6 right now and therefore this dilemma but if they are the same when it comes to modifying and swapping engines and drivertrain I´ll buy this one and start a project over time. I would really appreciate some help with this since I´m close to buying this car and want to make a good decision!

And sorry guys for my bad english!

Best regards,
Martin

any d series will bolt right into place of whatever came outa the car.

As far as a b series, look at the stickys or google "B series into EG"

Other than vtec wiring (easy to do) and the motor itself, they are essentially the same chassis.
