i drive a 95 civic coupe ex. sohc vtec. as of right now im lowered, exhuast intake and i have headers that im waiting for a o2 sensor. first of all i need to find a 02 sensor possible for sale. also im looking into saving for a motor swap but im trying to get the best of what i can. i was thinking the type S swap but the 3grand for the motor just almost does not sound worth it. im open for suggestion. im not really trying to make a race car out of this car, more just a car thats fast that i can drive daily. something relable, and price worth while.
thank you

you will probably end up spending more than 3 grand for a type s and parts when its all said and done, jus get a gsr or and h22

 

but is it worth doing all of that. i mean in the long run.
thanks for the advice.

 

not the best picture. but its a start so you can see what im working with

In my personal opinion... you will NOT regret a K series swap. I have ridden in an EJ coupe with a K, and it scred the SHAT out of me.

 

what the hell is a type S swap? do u mean si,b16 motor? with 3 grand i would highly recommend if your going to go swap go b18c1. if not go turbo all the way.

Type S = RSX Type S = K20A2/K20Z1

 

gotcha lol my bad never heard anybody say that yet, and now they have stoped making rsx's, god i have to catch up with the times.

yes k20motors are bad ****'s n/a. imagine what its like if they are boosted.

 

your car would be mad nice with a K series in it, those motors are mad good but yes they are expensive..

if you want somethin crazy but not as expensive i would go for either a gsr or an H22 with a GSR tranny and H2b plate. .

my cousins boyfriend has a boosted K20a in a 94civic coupe.
the car is rediculously fast. .

 

Welcome to H-T! Go to Autozone or Advanced Auto Parts or something for your o2 sensor... I think it'd be better to buy a new one rather than a used one. Also, 3 grand for a type-s swap is pretty decent IMO, but that's just me speaking. Go for it... K20's are awesome

this is the only thing that would make me want one. the gears are incredible plus there is 6 not 5. 200hp stock like 150ft lbs of tq stock. things a beast for a civic.

x2 thats what im doing in less then a month!

 

Last time I checked doing a k-swap was over 7,000 minimum.

If it were my cheap ***, I'd buy an H2b adapter plate and go h22-gsr tranny and put out similar power. Just not six speed and the powerband will be a little different.

Besides, If I had money left over I'd run 10lbs

btw that guys k20 is ridiculous

 

yeah i know that the k20 is nasty, i highly agree, but is the high cost worth it all. i like smooth fast cars, if you know what i mean.

 

Go b16a

 

what do you say a b16a?
just wondering.
