What would you think would be a really good swap for my 1996 dx civic. Something not to hard to swap and has alot of power.

 

check out the FAQ section at the top

/thread

 

Well If you want not to hard then keep you same engine. All engine swaps are difficult. If your a begginer i would do a B-Series because you can find alot more info on it. B18c is a popular and really fast one. Or you can do a b16a which will be a big step up and cheaper then the b18c. H22-23 is more difficult and has less information out there for you to research. K series are fast and a lot more unique but require more time/effort/skill, but in turn are a lot faster. I hope this has helped you. If i mixed up a fact or two kick me in your minds.

 

why not a V6 from an Acura Legend?

LS1.

 

Drop the RT/10 in there...might not have VTAKKKKKKKKKKK, but it'll pack some punch...

 

i say auto removal from the forum for another, "what swap for my car?" thread.

 

a sleppy red hatch r u still importing my stuff

 

Whatever you like, but if you really don't like sohc d series, definitely go with B series, more aftermarket support. B16 is good but will be the same as d16z6 torque wise. B18c is like a b16 from darkness to day. K series is not my taste, I rather have RPMS over torque, or be inbetween. So the choice is yours.

B16a/B17a=No torque, but good RPMs
B16B=Reasonable torque, good RPMs, same block as GSR/ITR
B18c1/B18c=Good torque, good power, has the best VTEC sound, Revs to 8200-9200 RPMs stock.
B20/Vtec/LS/Vtec=More work, really not worth the extra headache.
H22=Torquey, hard to install, but not bad swap at all.
K20=Torquey, good power, but doesn't rev as high as a B-series, due to rod/stroke, hard to install, expensive, and main focus is torque on this engine.

Not hard and a lot of power...hmmm. A Camaro would be a good swap for cheap power, as long as it had an LT1 or LS1 V8. Also a theft-recovery Corvette or GT Mustang from 98+. Let's see...

Oh wait. You meant an engine to put in the bay of your shitbox Civic about which you know nothing. That's right.

I wish. I ******* WISH that post-birth abortion was legal until the age of 18. It would solve so many problems in this country.
