I was wondering what kind of engine you guys recommended I throw in my 1999 Honda civic EX 1.6. It has decent speed. I threw on a header, exhaust, cool air intake, high performance clutch/flywheel, some AEM pulleys and a 55 shot of zex's fail proof nitrous system on it. I need more power. I have the power with the nitrous that I want but without it I get smoked. I want to be fast and know that I can take a GSR or whatever if I wanted to. help! please post ideas or whatever. Maybe I don't need an engine swap. I will do whatever to my engine now if I can get it to run fast. I'm new at this so any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated guys. Thanks a lot!

fast....hmm
you have 2 good options from where you are
turbo
or swap.

I might check out turbo thanks but if i were to swap, what would I wanna shoot for?

Kamin

well since its an EX there heavy (i have one...i know) i would say a b18c1 (GSR) or a b20 (vtec or nonvtec. vtec will cost alot more but make ALOT more power)

ricerEX

so if I threw the b20 in it would lighten my load and produce more horsepower ?
