I just got a 93 civic dx.....motor's partially gone....I want to put a b series motor in it and don't have much money.....wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions.....i'm no pro but i have the time and would do a swap myself but i'm new to swapping........I see alot of posts about b18's. What's the diff between b18a and b and would it make a big diff if i'm going to boost the car later anyway. Please help!!! or if you could direct me in the right direction

 

How much is your budget?

 

how hard is it to click on the stickies at the top of the page? Or that red Search button up top?

How hard is to refrain from being an a$$? The guy is new, point him the right direction without being a pompous jerk.

 

well you can get a GSR for a little over 3 grand. or you could buy a b16 for anywher from 2-3 grand. i dont know about that turbo tho.

 

the difference isnt much from the b18a/b. It's just there to tell u basically what year of integras that they came out of. correct me if im wrong here just letting u know

Its just that these threads clog this section of HT by being asked 10 times a day. OP, sorry if i sounded like an ***....just learn to search please.

 

The B16 is better for boost because it has a shorter stroke, but if you build the motor, I don't think it will make too much of a difference.

B16 into eg
B18c1 into eg

Heres the correction:

B18A - 130ish HP requires mount kit for 92-95 Civic , tranny is cable actuated which requires adapter for cable to hydro

B18B - 142 hp bolt in using stock honda/acura mounts

both are great for boost , friend of mine had a b18a is his 94 hatch with pistons and rods , 14psi with a holset hx40 and went 12.2 @ 119on DRs

 

thanx for the helpful info peeps.

 

Thanks for the info guys
