hi frank welcome to HT
what to put in depends on your budget how fast you wanta go is linked to how much you got!

So how much are we talking about?

 

Frank from the Dirty Duece. GL with the Civic. You will probably find swaping to a B series or D series motor will produce the fun and power your lookin for in a car like that. Not to pricy either

 

a zc would be easy

 

yea well im not tryin to spend too much but ima gonna spend enough go to fast enough to be a beginer racer u feel me

 

d series vtec

 

zc...sohc or dohc...cant go wrong with either on a budget...
**** even an a6 moves pretty good in a dx....u mentioned u want to be a racer...i sure hope this means on the track and not the streets....the last thing we need is another ricer endangering our lives

 

yea i mean on da tracks i never raced before an i wanna try it but yea ight ima look into these prices but thankx

 

It'd be nice if you could give a budget range. That way we can tell you what engines would be in your range. But yeah, ZC's are pretty cheap.

 

D16Z6 and an Si transmission

 

like mabe around 1000 to 2000 mabey if their around there

 

you could get a first gen b series from a jdm crx for around 1700, then the motor mounts from hasport are going to be like 200

 

what kind of racing?

 

not any major pro racing jus like if someone wanna see me ima show em mi car aint no punk

then thats not track racing.. thats street racing.. unless your gonna waste your time and money if you see some one on the streets who thinks your a weenie and you guys wait till track day and waste your money to run a guy 1 or 2 times.. but if i were you go for the zc motor.. good power and a good price and an easy swap..

hope that helps.. i dont mean to be an ***.. sorry

 

try out a ZC and then always can turbo it. Or you can use the Zc internals and build you one bad single cam. I would spree for an Si trans or the ZC one for the reason there geared pretty good for performance.

 

sorry to thread steal.. but if i get a ZC.. not sure if i should get a single cam or DOHC should i use my si tranny ?

 

yeah si tranny is geared for performance

 

ight thankx ima look around for som si trannys and zc's thankx or do u kno anyone who wanna sell either if they got 1??
