I need to find a new motor, dont know what yet, my D16Z6 is burning oil like a mother f***er. The valve seals are shot. Oh ya, my tranny isnt the greatest either. It is almost 2000 to get the head redone in town. My civic is going to mostly be show. Any one know what i should do?

B16 Swap $2850 Plus install
H22 Swap $3189 Plus install
D16 Rebuilt with bolt ons $600 plus install

 

if its gonna be all show..then why go with a DOHC...buy a SOHC vtec and save your money for you "show car"

I agree. If you didnt already have a vtec head then I would have told you to stay non vtec.

 

whats everyones onpinion on the D15b? Ive heard they are almost up with the B16. Is this true? Is it better than a D16

 

they are not almost up to a b16.. the only way to get good power out of a sohc is FI..

If those are the prices your quoted then you better keep looking cause thats ridiculous, your overpaying buy abt $700 on both engines

 

Those prices are complete with LSD tranny, and Hasport High HP Motor mounts

Not everyone is looking for FI so I don't know why that and swaps are the only suggestions people give....

i agree, if ur car is gonna be all show, why use more money on a DOHC swap?

 

b16 all the way you might as we'll have something fun to drive and that will last a long time. even if its a show car, ur gonna get sick of it being soo god damn slow, b16 at least gives you a start with some power and would be easy to achieve power in the near future!

valve seals aren't too hard to replace...
