Hello, kicking around the idea of swapping a faster engine to replace my D16Y8. I have found a pretty good site that seems like they provide everything for a complete swap. Would I need any additional parts for either of these?
Car is currently an Automatic as well.

Thank you very much to all who answer, I value your expertise.

Edit: I'd like to mention that I have a $4000 budget as well, and I'm looking to have the swap done for me as I don't have the knowledge or tools to do it myself. This would be a daily driver as well.
Also, a recommended shop or mechanic would be nice as well, I live in Northeast Ohio.

B16a & B16B overrated. No torque. Not that much faster.

I forgot to mention my car is currently a Auto, with the B16 and a manual would I notice more of a difference? Or would I be better off just selling my current car and looking for a Civic SI or Prelude?

I owned a Prelude. Too heavy, which negates a lot of the power of the engine, and not a lot of aftermarket support compared to a Civic or Integra. An SI has a B16A in it so you're back to being gutless.

When I get the hatch I'm going to do an H2B. Look it up. Prelude power, rivaling that of a K-swap, in a MUCH lighter chassis. No B-series can touch it.

I think you would be happy with a Integra GSR. Basic bolt ons and maybe CTR/ITR cams/tune is great for a DD. Especially if you're not getting your hands dirty.

My suggestion is to sell your car, and buy a B18C/H22/K20 swapped Civic or Integra with the motor you want already in it.

On your current route if your budget is 4k you're going to blow most of it getting the motor, and then the rest of it doing a half *** rebuild of it.

Sell your Civic. Assuming it's in fair/good condition that will get you ~$3000-3500 on top of your $4000. Buy another car with a tired version of the motor you want. Then go from there

I just wanted to come back to this thread and thank everyone for your replies.

I have decided to take the advice to scrap the B16 swap plans and sell my car. I have found a 2001 Integra GSR I'll be picking up shortly with the B18C1. From there I'll decide how to go about it since it already has all the bolt ons done to it. It should however kick the hell out my D16Y8.

Thanks again.

Nice choice, good luck!
