Default 1990 Honda Civic DX Swap Idea's

Looking to do a swap. What would be a decent price and give me a noticeable power difference? I was told b18b would be pretty cheap and decent. Any other Idea's?

You have alot of choices..Depends how much money you want to spend and if you want vtec or not ,,and how much hp you want,,etc...

You will have to convert to mpfi no matter what motor you choose..Then if you choose a vtec motor you will have to add the wires for vtec..And if you choose you changeover to obd1 or obd2a/b then you will need a jumper harness for your application..

Bolt in-
d16a6
d15b jdm vtec
d16z6
d16y8

Requires mount kit-
b16a sir1,sir2
b16a2,a3,or
b16a1 from europe spec cars
b16b
b17a
b18a/b
b18c,1,2,3,4,5
b20b/z
lsvtec
Poorman's type-r(b18c block/w b16a head)
b20vtec

Mini-me swap, z6 head = vtec

And for your MPFI wiring conversion - Rywire.com baby
We can modify your DX harness to be MPFI, supply you with VTEC wiring if you chose a VTEC motor, and we have JKOBD OBD0 to OBD1 jumper harnesses in stock as well. We've got your wiring covered.
