hey iam going to do a swap in my ek hatch and i was wondering wich motor would be the best to swap in it?

 

You need to start reading up on swaps and figure out what you're looking for.

The following will probably matter:
- Price
- Availability
- What you expect out of the engine
- What you plan to do with the engine
- What it takes to put it in the car
- What it costs to put in the car
- OBD type
- Availability of parts

Start reading up and make your own decision. There is no "best" engine that would work for everyone. Some will say a Z6, some will say a turbo Y8, some will tell you a B16A2, others will tell you CTR, someone else will pipe up about a B20, still more will tell you B18C1 or B18C5, others will say H22 and then you'll have more telling you to go for a K-series. And hell, some even go so far to say, "You know what I want in my hatch... An LS1." The possibilities are endless, and each engine has it's pros and cons.

Maybe a price won't work for you, maybe you don't like the idea of cutting into your chassis, maybe you want something with more torque, etc.

 

yea youll have to know what you want and take your time on deciding. cuz once you get a motor in youll want everything else. but a decent STOCK DAILY DRIVER IMO is a b18c1. i dont know if everyone will agree on that and i dont care. its just my opinion. i see it as youll have decent torque and vtec of course.

good luck!
