what modle should i get i mean would all the EX after market parts work with the DX modle? also whats the best motor for boost the b18? or b16 some thing with decent stock hp/tq and can hold some boost and i can possibly pick up this civic 94 for 500 dollars its a DX 2 door coupe with 124k miles with a dented fender up front but its auto.... but for 500 bucks how much would it take to do a motor/tranny swap? or would it even been worth it?

 

All parts from 92-95 coupe models will work on each other. A tranny swap would probably run you about 600ish if you did the work yourself. LS motors hold boost nicely, but if you were to get a B18C (JDM GS-R) that would accomdate boost nicely as well.

Hell, get a k24 and boost the **** out of that.

 

do you think its worth it tho? do u think the b18c would be a better choice?

 

Depends on what you plan on doing. If you want the extra all-motor torque then go for it. if your boosing it's not as important.

Do whatever you want to it. I've decided on a b18c for my Civic.

 

im trying to convert this **** non working 94 civic DX thats for $500 with a bent fender to some thing good i want to convert it to a 5 speed and turbo im looking for a strong motor... and is it all worth it like how much u think it would cost all together

 

LS is sweet for boost... Depending on what you are planning to do that would probably be the biggest step up with the money you want to spend...

My tranny swap cost me about 1400 out the door. That was including all the parts that I bought myself, and the labor for the shop to do it. I have no idea on the motor. IMO a motor swap would be easier than a tranny swap.

 

whats the differnce between the DX and the EX

Also, 4 way disc brakes. Better intake manifold, and the 94-95 models the black dash.
