I'm considering swapping out the stock engine for something with more performance.

What engine's should I consider for this swap?

 

what do you want to get out of the car?

there's this cool little word that says "search" on the upper right part of the page...they even made it red to be more noticeable!!!!!

try starting there....

 

just more power than the stock 1.8L, preferably VTEC.

I tried using that red little button but was not too successful in my findings, so I decided to post although I had a feeling I'd get flamed.

 

why dont you just go Ls/Vtec? it'll get you like 25-40hp.

I was in your same situation around febuary this year. I just went to HMO and bought a JDM b18c swapped it in and called it a day. It is definately a beautiful engine, but now I have I/H/E intake mani CTR cams and waiting for a tune and also a B16 tranny, because the LS tranny definately kills performance! I learned the hard way.

I am looking to get 180whp daily driven and for autocross use.

 

thanks for the time&replies. the b18c looks a little out of my price range, though a beautiful engine. would a b16a work also?

 

b16a will work, btu alot of people argue that it too underpowered for a heavier car

i loved my XSI, which came with the b16 straight from japan....

if you want a little more pop, consider rebuilding your bottom end and mating it with a b16 head for starters....just make sure it's done properly

do not ignore that advice, if honda didnt do it in the first place, then might as well make it bulliet proof from the start.

~ what are you plans with the car?

 

a daily driver but I also want to have some versatility and power in it, enough for the occasional race with friends and what not.

 

yea i would say a xsi swap, your cars already obd1 i would say thats the easyest...

and when you get bored with it you can just swap the block
