Default HELP 92-95 civic dx help for proper engine upgrade


i am wanting to convert from a civ dx to either a b16a, b16b or even integra type r engine. will the car handle the torque from these engine's if i have a sunroof or will they wreck it. My mate has a 2.2 prelude in his 94 civic with no sunroof an his is sweet flat out an spin'in

Without the sunroof does it not make the whole car a lot stronger

PLease recommend engine to swap

cheers

There's no such thing as torque in the b-series. Don't worry.

Hahah seriously. You're putting in a sub 200 ft/lb motor into the car. You're not going to "twist the chassis coming off the line".

A sunroof has nothing to do with how many ft/lbs your engine makes. It's not a Chevelle with a huge blown V8 that's going to 'twist the frame'....
