Well the day has come i blew my d16y8 motor in my civic. Time for another motor. I have around 4500-5000 to spend on the complete swap. I was thinking about doing b16 but i really wish i could do a gsr swap. I was wondering how much it would be to buy the gsr motor and put it in the car and have it all complete. Also which motor would you choose.

 

first a simple LS motor.. drive that around til u get more cash.. then either ls v or ls turbo.

 

You can do this B18c (JDM GS-R) swap for under $3,500. This is a good swap that can throw down a good amount of power.

Yeah, that works too.

 

gsr will run you about 3-3.5

just swaped my friends motor

 

What are ur plans for later on? Like Turbo, All motor or just enough to have a little fun... I myself prefer the LS turbo or LSVtec and If I had the money A K20.. But this is just my opinion..

 

A b18c is a good place to start. IMO the b16a just doesn't stand a chance at all against the b18c. A b18c has a good amount of torque and a decent amount of HP to start you off with.

 

Are you going to swap it yourself? If not, add some cash for that.

 

Built D16y8 turbo.

With change left over to buy something else.

exactly

 

well i got some prices today i went to tempest and they want 4500 for ls swap, 5300 for b16 swap. I also went to some spanish guys they said a gsr swap for 3,000. I called noyan in manassas virginia and they said call on monday they get a new shipment on honda motors. I might just buy the gsr motor from them and have tempest put it in for me. My future plans are really nothing just get a b16 or b18 motor and i already had nitrous on my d16y8 (75 shot) so i think a gsr with a 75 shot with be quite nice. Also has anyone every bought any motors from noyan? http://www.noyanusa.com

 

with gas prices these days, pick up a d15z1

 

h22 or k20.

 

k20! do bolt ons and slicks run a low 12. and just run on drag radials everyday, a lil vette or something harasses you give them a run for there money!! =D

 

personal preference really.
b16 = less torque and about 10 less hp than b18
b18 = more torque + a little better power than the b16
k20 = good torque + power stock + responds to bolt ons REALLY well
and like one other kid said.
d16 built + boosted, single cams love boost and fairly inexpensive

IMO its a personal opinion on how much you want to spend for what about of performance, hope this helped. if not, sorry to waste space. goodluck on your new motor journey.

edit: stay the hell away from H series.

I am happy with my jdm sir2 b16. you'll have money left over to save for turbo if you swap it in yourself.

 

Hmotorsonline.com has the best prices for engines and they also offer a lsd tranny and hasport motor mounts for a complete gsr change over

 

5300 is wayyyyy to much for a b16. with 5 grand, i think a b18c is your best choice. Its the most well rounded motor imo. But be a scavenger and find a cheap b18c5. I think you could do it

 

I've got to go with a K20 swap would be the best.
