It depends on what your looking to get out of the car really. And with this subject everyone have there own opinions that goes on and on forever lol. I personally would go with a B18 or a K20 Swap(Then I would wake up and realize I dont have enough money for it lol). But I like balanced motors and those two are pretty balanced between horse power and torque.

And you can boost em until they blow

If you're swapping between series, you need to swap the tranny.

For example, if you're swapping to a B-series engine, you need a B-series tranny. If you're swapping to a K, you need a K tranny, H you (generally) need an H tranny.

What's the best engine depends on your budget and goals. I generally think that the B18C1 GSR engine gives you the best bang for the buck. If you're going turbo though, I would say LS... unless you've got a big budget and want to build a monster. Then I'd say GSR or H22 turbo.

Domnificent

Depends what you want to do. you can build a motor with 3-4 thousand or if you just want to buy a swap and drop it right in you could get a GSR

Domnificent

okay and the HP with those are between 160 and 170?

jcdimvic

b16 and b18 are close to those numbers, little over or a little under, b16 trannys gots the gears u want for quickness out of the shoot, LS trannies have the gears for the commuter car.

Domnificent

so ballpark how much $$$ you think it would be for a B18 motor and tranny and also how much hp does a gsr engine put out??? cuz like i said my bro got a modded Tegra and he got a b16 or 18 (lucky bastard my dad bought it for him modded) and i jus gotta be able to beat em...

MrExclusive

IMO any civic with a decent swap stock or not can take on a teggy that have a few mods. keyword few lol. Because you already have a big weight advantage over the teggy they weigh more than civics which makes alot of different in a race. But seriously if you have 3-4g's to spend just like that I would say invest it good. Get a B18C/B20Vtec/ or K20 swap. Thats what I would do.

Domnificent

ah thanks alot i though since tegras were more sporty that theyd be lighter... And yes a few mods cuz that fool aint got no job and aint gettin one soon.. And. I dnt have like 4gs on hand but im sayn thats. Wat ima put under the hood ya kno.. Hell i work at home depot...
