Hello.. i am new to this forum and wanna say its nice.. but thats not why i am here.. i am here cuz i just got a 90 civic dx. i ran it out at the race track to see wat it would do and .. well haha.. 21.3 .. got 2nd place but thats a diff story..

i wanted to get a new engine for it.. i dont know anything about civics really. i am more of a Muscle car guy.. but i was told some engines to get but duno wat the guy was talkin bout. wat would be the best i can get for it. the purpose it is for would be out at the drag strip and cruzing.. wat do i need for the engine swap and wat mods i need to do..

remember i dont know anything bout import engines really.. so plz explain the best you can..

thanks alot..

 

if ur into basic muscle wich is a v8 with a carburetor and few vacum lines ur gonna have a hard time getting used to these engines, specialy if u plan to do a swap urself. ive seen plenty cases on wich a guy that grew up with v8's has a harder time instaling a litle b16 in an ED than their other v8 engines im muscle land. but o well. asuming u got a DX u have a d15 engine in it.POS when it comes to performance,now, thats assuming u got the stock motor in it. this thread might get locked but o well.

D series motors = budget build, newer ones come with single cam vtec. all over the place. all D series parts fit each others. ex 2000 block with 91 tranny

B series motors = high reving TOP end motor, both for track or city, many mods avaliable for them, yet the most popular engine yet to swap, DOHC VTEC . these engines actuate both cams when VTEC is engaged.

im not gonna get into K or H series motors,way more complicated swaps, wouldnt be pointless since u dont know anything about honda in general proly.

 

What's your time goal and how much are you willing to spend to get there? "Just fun around town and at the strip" honestly doesn't help much.

my best advice to you is to just read up on here and browse through the topics that have been floating throughout the day for like a week or two straight, and you'll learn a lot. welcome to our econo-box world of fun. haha

 

If you just want faster than you are, do an MPFI conversion and drop in a D16A6 or OBD0 ZC. That'll make you faster than you are.
