Has anyone here done a swap on a older civic?
I have a 1982 hatchback that I love, and want to make QUICK.
What is the biggest/best combo I could fit under the hood of this car without moving a firewall??
I want the car to be a sleeper.... but as fast as possible....
I was thinking a B18C with supercharger...etc.....

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I am new to the tuner mods...

 

The engine compartment isn't big enough to house a SOHC and tranny let alone a DOHC. Anythings possible with money, good luck.

 

try a hyabusa motor.

 

I knew a guy with one of those old *** civics running 13's. I don't know what he had done to the motor but I remember he was only pushing like 100hp.

Man, maybe I need to move some stuff around..... I am pretty good with the metal work,etc....
I sure would like to have 300+hp under the hood of the '82

 

where do I find out more about this?

 

I have a 82 civic with a b18 turbo. it didn't cost much money to build, although it took some time to get it right.
