hey im new to the honda scene because i recently got a 1993 civic....there is 2 things wrong with it at least to me....its a 4 door .......and its automatic im pretty sure its only temporary until i sell it for a hatch but if not i was wondering about modding the engine its a new motor the guy i bought it from just put it in its a d16 (y7 i beleive ill check when i officially get the car on wenesday) and again its automatic but since i spent all my time around nissans i have no clue on wut is possible or the potential of the motor and i was wondering if there is any better engine swaps out there like maybe a DOHC that is automatic.... any help to a honda noob would be appreciated thanks

 

If you're going to go DOHC, there are autos, but just convert to manual at the same time. The d16y7 isn't exactly a power house but you can do a mini-me swap to get vtec. I'd try to stick it out for a hatch, personally. Good luck,

 

nothing wrong with 4drs dont hate appriciate!!!!!

 

yea the only thing i dont like about the 4 doors is its harder to find stuff for them but i like them better then coupes i guess because around here everyone has a coupe and i like the looks of a clean sedan

 

True true, they're just a little on the heavy side,

I :heart: my CRX.

 

lets just say i had money for a complete engine swap that was automatic wut should i be looking for?

 

Just pick out your engine and find an auto tranny and all the junk for it to match it up. There are auto b series stuff, but I assume (just like a manual swap) you'll need to replace the auto shifter assembly, axels, ecu, blah blah blah.

 

ok good because i would really like to up my power output by more than a few bolt ons would give me and ill possibly have 1200-1500 within the next couple weeks (selling my gaming computer) and after a couple months of working ill think about a swap or going for a whole new car a 5speed hatch or back to nissans tho i have a datsun 510 shell (err more like frame lol) i need to get working on

 

I think you can do an automatic Integra LS swap.

 

wut motor is in the integra ls and is it v-tec or easy to convert?

ls motor dosent have vtec but it loves boost..im planning on droppin 1 in this summer in my 95 hatch..

 

It's Called a B18B it's DOHC and it's non vtec. A lil more fun than your little d series engine, not that hard of a swap and reasonably priced.

 

booosssst!!!!
