just wondering what ppl are running for swaps in there dx's or any civic from 99-00 cause i'm looking into doing a swap in my car i've looked at b-series engines and built d-series engines not quite sure what to go with cause i can get a built d-series cheap and its less work to put it in but i dunno, i just want to know what ppl are running and how they like them, thanks for your time!

 

well what do you want to do with your car? and what does built d series mean? if you have to just save up and wait for a b series. you should be able to find an ls for a good price.

 

i would stick with a b16a2 just like the SI coupes that is decent in power and reliable for a daily driver i got that in my 97 dx no problems and it runs fine

 

well i plan to mod i want about 300hp not any more then that just somthing i can play around with, built i mean like forged pistons forged rods ex......... basically set up to run boost or nitrous

 

im running a b18 gsr in my 99 ek and i love it im looking for around 325-350 when im done right now its not boosted and its a joy to drive just make sure to do all the prep work now while the motor is still out of the car like new timing belt water pump etc..etc mine is mildly built and its a blast to drive cant wait to get a snail on it

 

if u want that kinda of power go wit a Kseries. if u can find the parts 4 the motor u can get that much with ease

 

yeah b16 or b18 are always good choices.

 

K swap

 

b18c or the almight K swap

 

It's impossible to answer this question.

What swap you'll get will depend on:

Budget
Time
know-how
convenience
preference
goals
track or not to track

I'm going with an h2b when I can afford it, with good tired my car will be in the 12's with the stock motor. The whole setup should cost me about $3500-$4000 installed by me.

A good budget setup that's reliable would be an LS/turbo with a b16/gsr tranny, stock motor, and a used turbo kit can be all had for about $2000-$2500 tuned and you can put your car in the 12's, high 11's. About what a b16 costs from a dealer which only makes your car a 15-16 second car.

You could also swap in a y8 with a y8 tranny and boost it for less than $2000 and get good numbers. A swap most beginners are very capable of given patience and a helms.

Those are only a few examples, not everyone can afford 2 months and the $7000-$10,000 it takes to do a k20a swap. Not everyone wants to go out on a limb and do something different, like a SOHC F-series, or an h2b, F2d, b2d, etc. Spend time here and research and you'll find the right one for you.

 

Yallz needz a hi performance johnson strut.

You need to tell us your normal budget, the type of drive you're looking for, whether you want boost for the sake of boost, if you think you need it for power, do you want super power, or do you want a modest DD, do you like all motor....

And still we may say we can't answer this. The best you can do is do some research on the different motors you've put down as choices, narrow them down, buy one, then come back to H-T and tell us how everything's going.

 

i'm looking for about 300hp and yea its gunna be my daily driver in the summer but i'll end up putting it away in the winter and i dont want a k-series there way out of my range, b-series could be possible but i wouldnt be able to get my horse power i want out of it cause my budget is about 3200-3500 bucks

For that price/hp range you could easily hit that with an OBD2 B18b1 and a pieced-together turbo kit.

 

D-turbo

ls-turbo

b16-turbo

h2b/h22-turbo (on a budget with locally found parts and/or a used h2b kit)

will all get you there for that price.

 

if you want power h22, daily driven b16, b18

 

yea we'll see i guess, i gotta do some shopping around to see what i can find!

What's wrong with daily driving an h22?

Prelude owners seem fine with it.

If anything, I wouldn't want to daily something with a b16 and it's hella short 5th gear.
