Im wondering what engine is in my 1996 Civic Si. Also I want to swap it for somethnig much bigger and something I can really built and maybe put forced induction later on. What about b18C???

 

96 Civic Si: I am assuming you are located somewhere like Canada. Then you have a D16 motor. And a B18C would be good. Perhaps even better for forced induction would be a B18B.

 

look on the block. it should be a d16y8.

 

Thanks,

I been reading and I think the B18C will be a good bet for me... I like the torque it gives out for the HP and the redline is high

 

yes but what if you blew it. What a waste of a beautiful piece of machinery. Get the B18B. Much cheaper

 

LS/VTEC is the way to go in my opinion. A B18C is expensive, but it is also an incredible swap. I like the LS motors for boost anyways.

Are you joking?

That's like saying:

"Why waste money getting a newer car? What if you wreck it? Buy a 1985 Camaro, it's cheaper."

Or:

"Why buy a B series? What if you blow it? That'll be a waste. Keep your 70hp CX engine, it's cheaper."

 

B18C will be a good choice.
also the d16 engines is good to turbo it.
dont foget that its all about the money.
and you need to choose what your prefers..
good luck any way
