if you pop the hood, everything you need to know is there, on the stickies under the hood.

knockout

if it is in fact a 93 civic ex then it should be a d16z6.

HaNsElBaDaSs

it is a 93 civic coupe and i havent seen it yet under the hood

^LORTA^RACING

my '95 Ex has d16z6 motor (1.6 Sohc V-tec)

HaNsElBaDaSs

is taht motor got potential or is it better to swap it to a b series

92'si

you can boost the z6 and have fun with it, get an easy 180 or so.

deadline

only got potential if u r goin turbo.......other than that it sucks harder than it blows

If you're going to be replacing internals, don't start with a B18C5. There's no point in paying extra for internals that you won't be using.

If you have your heart set on cams and internals, go with the H-series. They are great motors to build and have good base power and torque.

h series is the accord type engine that is going in my accord i think i will go with the gsr then and put a type r head on it and maybe type r pistons and then skunk2 intake manif elback throttle body dc sports header and aem fuel rail and high flow fuel pump and injectors. i think that should be good enough for me... for now

If you're going to do that, then just start with the Type-R engine.

I had suggested that you shouldn't start with the ITR engine because you mentioned "building it a lot," so I assumed you would be tearing it down and replacing pistons, rods, cams, valve springs, etc.

HaNsElBaDaSs

if i do that it will be more money so i will rather go the cheaper way and still end up the same in the end

If your going to get that EJ coupe...and it has the D16Z in it already...you can boost it for an okay price and still get a thrill...but like the saying...theres no replacement for displacement...start with a B18C1...and do your 'super' buildup. Instead of buying the B18C5 and replacing all those precious internals.

I'm quite curious as to your signature.

What engine can you get for 600, upgrade for 300, and blow away a cop car?

o0Jash0o

ls vtech, the poormans type r, you can always boost the ls as well, thats one hell of a jump for your first swap. no offence but you might end up with something a bit over your head. if you have it in your head " oh i gotta type r" your gonna drive the crap out of it and things will go out left and right, a buddy of mine adam has a 95 ex coupe with an itr "b18c5" the car is nutz put constantly has issues.

if this would be your first swap ide either do an ls swap than boost it and put the gsr head in later for the ls vtech once you have become more familiar with your car and the added horsepower. all else fails start off with a b16

i'd like to know that too ****....im shopping in the wrong places hahaha

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Have fun putting 81mm pistons in a 75mm bore.

How do you plan to extend the D16's torque curve an extra 1000 RPM (in order to equal the peak horsepower of a B16A) with just bolt-ons?

well most of them have an engine, seats, stearing wheel, cassete player, tires, axles
you know most of the usual stuff

Nice try on being cute, but he did specify and say engine wise. Could you possibly contribute in that field?
