I am really frustrated guys, i need some serious help and tips. First off, I have a list of possible engines to fit in my 94 civc from the b16a to the b18c and a ouple more. Also, is it really beneficial if i rebuild my own engine using 2 engines of the same generation? I know all engines are stock but some give more than others and are better to work with and add some serious horsepower to. So guys, WHICH ONE?? I wanna know which engine is best and then what to START on or with and everything i could do to it to "earn some respect" on the asphalt.

P.S. Just in case it helps, its a stick shift.

Check out this thread :

And what state do you live in? Your options are more specific if you live in Cali.

 

I live in Florida and might be moving to N.C.

 

Questions...

1. How much money do you have for this project
2. How much WHP are you trying to get
3. Is this your DD/Auto-x/Drag car

 

1. I REALLY like this car so i'm willing to spend a several G's.

2. I still don't really know what whp is, only hp.

3. Still deciding. Though I love drifting in it, i MOST likely won't soup it up for that.

 

i hope you dont like drifting in your civic put an f22 in it and then you can say you like drifting in your civic

 

Sounds to me like you shouldn't put any money into the car yet. Because it will just end up in a ditch or in some thief's backyard.

Be smart, drive smart, and research. Then come back and ask some intelligent questions.

LOL

Come on is this some kind of joke? Drifting I think you need to turn your copy of fast and the furious bullshit drift off


Before you start thinking about tuning anything I suggest you do some research into cars/engines so forth if you do not even know the difference between whp and hp and you think a FWD is going to drift

STOP!

Go read about cars go research unless of cause this is some kind of stupid joke however your not the first I have heard talk about drifting a FWD but still sounds as stupidly funny lol

^^ Great idea.

OP - Though you love your car there is really no reason to dump "several g's" into an econobox that is only going to sell for 3-5k in the future with all the mods you are "planning" to do. You also have to think about how realistic your wants/pipe dreams are.

 

I would go with a B18C , more power then a B16

Wander around Honda-Tech for about a year before you start dumping money into this car.

WTF? haha Hence the user name.

 

Lets cut the kid a break~ 1st off u kinda need to know how much money u wanna spend, wat kinda hp ur wanna get outta ur car and wat ur planning on using ur car for. Example: like ur daily driver/ auto~x/ track car but by the sound of it its prob gonna be ur dd. Like a couple ppl already said u should really do ur home work and do a lot of research on the engines. Spend A LOT of time on this site reading up on old threads talking about engines/eng management etc. A lot of guys are gonna give u crap cuz ur still a baby but I'd rather sound stupid asking a question than look stupid when u blow ur engine. Just make sure u let evry1 know ur a NOOB, and U DON'T KNOW NE THING it will help out.

If you want to drift buy a 240, or swap in a ls1 lol.

i think we got it the first time you do not need to post the same thing twice

 

lol, you guys are all ********...i love it.

but in all seriousness:
- drifting is only done in RWD cars. Civics are FWD.
- my recommendation to you, is to buy a B18b from an RS/LS/GS Integra. They don't have vtec, but they are a perfect balance of power, torque, and economy (longer ratios than the b-series vtec trannies like the b16a2 or b18c1)
- do some research yourself...and for God sake, please take it somewhere professional to get done.
