Default 87 Civic SI

Does anybody know what kind of engines can fit into the engine bay of a 87 Civic SI HB?

It needs to be faster. Thanks

i just traded my 91 sedan to my friend for this car, so i'm still learning EVERYTHING that's done to it, but this is what i know...
HASport mount kit and shift linkage
B20B block
B16a head
Zdyne ECU
Y1 sloppy *** tranny
ITR intake manifold w/SiRII bored throttle body
AEM intake (for 90-93 integra)
DC header 421
Catco high flow cat
custom piping with TenzoR muffler
MSD 6A with blaster coil
B&M fpr
and an ACT full disc clutch/pressure plate.
traction is a total BITCH. it spins all through 1st and 2nd if you get on it. but this car is soooooooooooooooo much fun, the power and torque it produces is literally insane. it can beat almost anything on the street.

yup. it was a straight trade for my 91 Dx sedan. he needed a/c for his daily commute. i was looking forward to my first summer in AZ with a/c, but i took the opportunity.

hey do you have any pictures of your setup? what kind of problems did you encounter? isn't the engine comparment too small to fit in that particular engine? anything you had to modify? Would a complete GSR engine fit in the 87?? I am very interested in your setup. thanks!

here's an earlier post with pics of the car. it's the black one.
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=179024

regarding the size of the engine bay, it's small but no problems fitting the b-series. no mods were needed to close the hood or anything, but the eacv on the back of the intake manifold is less than an inch from the firewall and same goes for the distance between the header and radiator. the GSR block is like only 10-15mm taller than LS/CRV blocks, so you MAY have height/ground clearance issues.
hth, i'm still learning about the b-series differences myself.

The LS/CRV/GSR/ITR blocks are all the same height. The B16A block is about 3/8" shorter. Are you thinking about a VTEC versus Non VTEC head? I'm not sure of the difference between them.

yeah thats what id think... specially being LS is like 1834cc compared to GSRs 1797cc

but yeah ive known of a street driven 86-87HB to run 12.50s(on the motor)... at that time it was the fastest on the street... this was a couple years back
