Hello everyone-


I have a 91 hatch with a standard 1.5. I'm going to hit up the junk yard tomorrow and try to come across a decent motor for a swap. All motors are on sale for $75.
I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to what motor is in what. I don't even know what I'm looking for yet, just hoping to come across a nice find.
Can anyone tell me what cars to look in that would have a motor that fits into the civic. Like, what year of a CRX or Civic and type would have a nice motor. I think I heard that an Integra motor of some sort would fit.
I'm going to try to find the most HP of course, so if you know what they put out it'd be helpful.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
-Denz

 

if you dont know what you are doing, dont spend the money.

think about why most cars end up at the junk yard.

 

Yeah. I'm going to pay to have it installed. I'm hoping to find a wrecked car or something. They list what is wrong with most vehicles there.

 

save up some money and build a good d16a6. <--that is a stock Si motor.

do your homework so you experience as little down time as possible. you have no idea how many projects ive seen that were started by people that couldnt complete it and then ended up selling perfectly good cars.

 

hmotorsonline.com <--- the shiz.

or look for a local importer.

 

lol why would he go to hmotors if he just said hes going to the junkayrd for a motor becuase there all $75

find an si or ex motor D16. build it p a bit and boost the bitch

 

I doubt I'll even find anything half way decent. I'm just gonna go look, worth a shot.
