Hey I just bought a bone stock 91 civic dx hatch. I was wondering what would be the best engine and drive train swap? and also best intake and exhaust systems? and any other mods as im new to the civic scene and imports.

Thanks for any help.

 

There are alot of swaps available how much do you want to spend?
You have a very good platform to start with they make alot of parts
for that platform

 

Im looking to spend around 10000$ max or abit more if needed

 

but with 10000 thats for everything so im just wondering what the best things out there are? for this car

 

-Is this a daily driver
-How much hp/tq do you want
.....with 10gs you can do a lot and be very satisfied

 

read the faq

 

um its just going to be driven a few times a month
and as for hp/trq as much as i can get without breaking things thats why i need to figure out a good setup. I was wondering what the best motor for the price is? is it the b-series?

Thanks

 

If you have that much to spend, then buy a real car.

you mean a crx?

 

may i suggest reading the info thread.
if you dont even know where to begin already im sorry to say your car is gunna be bought not built no matter what.

 

you have alot of options with that kind of cash are you sure you want to put that
much into an dx, type R swap is stock 200 horse with stock reliability at around
4k for parts you can go turbo ls for the same money at about 250 horse but
needs more attention to tuning. Do you like the intake noise or do you like
the blow off sound, either wouls be sick just depends on what you like.
Mine has a b18c5 and it sound sick at 8600 rpms and runs low 14s with a
stock motor and if thats not fast enouph with nitrous it's mid 13s.
Are you doing the work or is a shop.

QFT. IBTL

OP, I would recommend doing more research to find out which motor swap application would best suit your needs. Each swap is different in regards to performance, price, and difficulty of labor. Here are a couple of write-up's that should help to get you going:

Good advice.

Do a lot of reading and make your own decisions. READ READ READ...and then SEARCH.

And most of all.....ignore all the trial users telling you what to do.

No, that "rd91..." guy used to be an '03 until he started trolling in kills.

Anyways, OP, you need to read around and find what's best for you. Visit the Hybrid, All Motor, and Forced Induction forums, also read all the FAQs you can. that should give you a good starting base. there is no "best" engine, drivetrain, etc.

 

thanks ya iv got a friend with a b18c and a k20a both at a good deal with the k20a would i need to change alot? if so im going with the b18c

Thanks

 

Sh*t go type r if not. the complete gsr (b18c1) runs around $3500ish for everything needed for the swap. buy the best bolt ons you can find lol buy type r bolt ons with adjustible cams. Go garret turb

 

k thanks
