Default IS THIS A WISE DECISION FOR MY ENGINE?

i have a 2000 honda civic si, Would getting an Integra type R block and leaving the stock head on be the best thing i could do to my car right now besides forced induction? what is the latest Type R block that would fit in my car?

well, I am not convinced that its the best gain for the money. you may get more TQ but you can do that with your gearbox. I say put a nice cam in your motor, change the intake manifold, get a header. put in an ITRLSD and JDM FD with the ATS first gear high output 1.6 is fun... they sound cool... yes, I can
tell the difference between the note of a B16 and a B18C... it just depends on your preference

** just because it isnt ordinarily seen, doesnt mean it cant be done **

Are you looking to make your car as fast as possible? For one, I have NEVER seen a quick all motor civic si coupe. If you're looking to go all motor, I would seriously suggest looking into converting the car to obd1 and get rid of that usdm ecu. I would then, since you have a heavy car, think about going towards more discplacement. OR, you could bypass all of that, and assuming you can go to a GOOD, I mean a good tuner, go with a bolt on Drag/Rev Hard turbo kit with Hondata and boost the block at a conservative amount, and still maintain the factory reliability. Rev Hard's with Hondata TUNED will easily get you into the 13 second range with stock reliability. Depends what your goals are bro, good luck either way man.......
