now i know there have been 100million post's about this but theres sooo much bs i cant find exactly what i want. I have a 98 civic obdII i think. What swap would be the easiest, and could still pass emissions and such?

 

any 98 or newer d or b series

 

any 96 and newer obdII engine should be a pretty easy swap, a obdII integra motor will probably be the best bang for the buck and is pretty much a bolt in swap

 

go with a b16 swap, best fit. all bolt on nothing else.

 

whats the best/ easiest to find newer b series motor?

 

as much as i love the D series. I would have to say go with a usdm b16a2. bolts right in. and will pass emmisions.

 

and ive read the posts and such but hands down wheres the best place to get my hands on one of these...i like by houston

 

well you can either buy a new one at the dealer (if you are a RICH a$$ ****) or go to junk yards. <----your best bet .....ebay is good but you are taking risks!

 

hwo does the whole junkyard sceen work? i look for a smashed si and tell them i want the engine and tranny? what would that run at a junkyard?

 

call junkyards in your area and tell them u r looking for a complete b16a2 changeover (engine, tranny, ecu, dizzy, im, etc). not sure how much they go 4 in the houston area.

 

well try for your self. It's pretty much common sense when you call them. Tell them you want axles, the engine assembly, transmission (not tranny, some are gonna say, "what the hell is that"..LMAO), shift linkage, alternator, and other morotr stuff you need. Since you own a car i am pretty sure you should know what else you need. And buy the ECU from ebay, it's much cheaper .

 

so ya need all new axel's and such? can it be dint without that, or is it just a better idea to do it all at once

 

huh? please type a little bit better.

its better to do it all at once so you dont have time to lag on the project! Or if you are dedicated you can piece it together. All on your preference, I'd say do it all at once or within one week if you have the budget, makes life easier. Not to mention no lag on the project!

PM me and i'll give ya a list of parts you need. With a 98 like mine, it'll be a bolt on, IF you have an EX (D16Y8), if not then you are gonna have to do some rewiring for the V-tech.
