My friend has a 97 2 door civic dx 5spd and hes thinking about a motor swap...what do you guys suggest would be the best for this car?

 

any v-12 enigne. but make sure it has vtec(that way your still cool)

j/k swap a gsr and turbo it then call it a day

 

Question is much to vague for anyone to answer, maybe the peeps in GDD can help you out

 

haha ok sorry how about this....would you guy suggest a b18 or a h22 in this car?

 

i'd do gsr swap

 

go to honda-tech.com, then click 92-00 civic/ del sol, then look at the very top of the page and you will see where it says [faq] What swap are available for my civic? then click that and you should be set.

to answer your question i would go b18 because h22 is too much work

 

what would be faster the gsr or the h22 in that car?

 

then you're just thinkin' like every other hungry idiot out there. A h22 isn't like the god of swaps i personally hate the damn things. Take a few minutes and research through the faq

lol, what kind of price range does your 'friend' have?

 

probably around 2500.00 installed

I wouldn't pay for an installation it is pretty simple, and you might learn something, I would buy an LS B18B-B18A and boost it with that money, probably best bang for your buck you would be looking at around ~220hp decently tuned.

 

with that money installed, you wont be able to find an h22 or a b18. but if you do the installation yourself, i would go with a b18, its a great all around motor. h22 needs motor mounts and axels which gets pretty pricey. and even though its not THAT much heavier, it does affect the handleing still. go b18, you wont regret it. motor has great potential

Your saying even if i didnt have to pay for instalation you really think i can get a motor and boost it for 2500...haha i dont think so

 

i'd go with h22

Well yeah, pick up an LS swap for $1000 or less throw in a block guard some routine maintenance maybe $200, that still leaves $1300 for a junkyard turbo or a used kit in the classifieds and some tuning. Sounds very possible to me, but you are an idiot so...

 

depending on where you get the engine its going to be hard to find an h22 for that much. i got my jdm b16 for 2200 from hmotorsonline and then shipping was another 360. but you definatly going to have to put it in yourself with your pricerange
