What do you mean 'Your guessing your engine is fudged or blown'?
What do you mean 'on another note i want to replace a lot of stuff'

First figure out what is wrong, address the problem then move on to your maintenance.

You can buy another civic/teg for 2k. It shouldn't cost that much with all this stuff, but if it is, move on, sell it and buy something else

There is my suggestions

p3anutboi

ty for input my engine siezed up so its screwed just going to rebuild or replace most of the stuff on the list is pretty old on the car or i just want to replace before the problem pops up just looking for some advice pluss iver went through many cars in the past 5 years 3 civics 1 teggy 1 eclipse

p3anutboi

What engine? Why do I see noithing about tuning in there? This is needed if you put the skunk2 IM on it.

p3anutboi

i have a friend with a shop i was thinking of putting either h22A or D15B not sure yet but n/e way hes gonna handle all the tuning and installing

virgineg6

Since you plan on passing it on i would suggest the D15b

p3anutboi

yea i was looking at that one not to expensive also

98civdx

<--- dislikes single cams, so i am basied, but why not do a b18/b20?

Carnivorous20

i see im not the only one who got a crappy tint job on the rear window :3 anywho, you need to figure out what engine youre gonna throw in there first before you decide all the extras. my .02

DELshaneSOL

h22 are heavy and d15 just go for b series

DELshaneSOL

maybe lower it also?

D16SiHatch

looks like too much work to de-rice this thing, unless you plan on keeping it for a long time i would not waste my time.

DELshaneSOL

thats how my sol was when i got it but now its nice
it takes work but he might like the bodykit look

p3anutboi

yea my uncle put the kit and wing on the car i like the look but it needs to be cleaned up the tow truck almost tore the front end off lmao i was looking into the B series i had a b16 in my old hatchie was fast and decent on gas then i had a 4dr ex civic with d16 v tec and i think both are decent i can get a d15 in my area for about 250 rebuilt my friend puts it in for 400 even plus after i fix it up ill most likely sign it over to my wife and upgrade to somthing else she is not about speed she only likes looks lmao so light engine swap then touch up the kit the tint and paint the interior back black i should be good i was just wondering what else should i invest in partwise as well as cheaper engine because b series are common in my part bout 1,500 for engine trans ecu mounts and all that so its a lil bit off my price range but good ideas im still thinking which is good on gas performance and cost =/

p3anutboi

OK i decided im going with a d16y8 v tec fits straight into my car no extra changes and the engine only i can get for 400 with only 35,000 miles so that's 400 for engine and 400 for installation sounds like plan ty to everyone who gave their ideas and suggestions =D

DELshaneSOL

do you think you could put it in.. its fairly easy. itll save you 400 and shouldnt take more than a day

p3anutboi

I would give anything a swing but i live in apartment and they dont allow any work in parking lot so ide have to have it towed i would deff try to drop old engine out so maybe they charge less atleast but i ave no idea how ive done headers piping radiator altornator o2 sensor and other common maintenance on my cars but never swap lol

DELshaneSOL

so the 400 labor is to take the old one out as well as put the new one in?

p3anutboi

yup and i keep old engine so i can part out the good pieces =P

DELshaneSOL

yea if you could try and take the motor out at your apt some how, or maybe a friends. because you have to take the motor home somehow so why not just take it out at ur house than hauling it back after they take it out ya know

p3anutboi

good idea or maybe i could start parting the engine out now? lmao so there only the block and head left =P

DELshaneSOL

yea and if they want the parts then they gotta it out them selves someone might even take the block for out free, just give it to them lol.
might be easyer to sell as whole, just tell them whats wrong.let them sit on the parts till they sell

p3anutboi

sounds good to me
