My bro has a 2000 Civic EX and he was wondering what would be the best engine swap. He don't really care about what times he runs he just wants the best swap.

 

um nothing right now
soon youll be able to do the rsx-s motor (k20c i think)

 

 

K20's wont work!

The K20 motors are backwards(tranny on the driver side versus the passenger side).

So he should go with a CTR, ITR, or GSR swap.

 

i stand corrected
its the 2001's they changed
i apologize
i drive a 5th gen
you can swap in ANY b series motor

 

soo which engine should he drop in??

 

He says it right there.

 

ok well the engine that he would wont if money was no object is the civic type-r(b16b) 187hp,sells for 4500-5000(jspec),then the next would be the integra type-r (b18c)197hp,sells for 4800-5000 (jspec),i have a 2000 civic dx,with the b16b swap....cheers

 

The CTR is a waste of money!!

Same price as an ITR but slower.

If you have the money get the ITR, then the GSR.

Stay away from a 1.6 Liter motor.

The LS 1.8 is nice too or even better the CRV 2.0!!!!!

 

the ctr motor can stand higher revs and its more rare so you get more props
