I've got a d series on my 97 civic what would be the best swap? as far as difficulty to power ratios

 

b18c5

 

or a gsr. b18c1...

 

will tranny match up? elec.? for the most part at least

 

no. b-series trans wont link to d. only trans swapping is h2b

 

expensive..

 

just build the D series and go turbo.

 

dont even put parts into it, just a backyard turbo setup with a tune. like i said in the other thread. 800 dollars wont go far. and he probably doesnt have the knowledge to do a changeover with wiring for a b swap

 

if its an 97 EX u can get grs n it would be easier.. grs obd2A motor.. the newer one will be some converting problem bc i ran into some.. the harness should be fine.. u will need 99-00 SI mounts forsure tho

 

i can do the wiring, no problem. i know a little but it's all what i've learned on my own and this forum and my haynes

 

gsr dude then turbo it depending on money you have

 

Your haynes have oil in the manifold

 

gsr more potentiel then b16 IMO.. just dont get any OBD1 motor or u will be buying lots of parts left to right.. get obd2 motors n everything should be more simple from there

 

Where did it say his budget is 800? if you guys are suggesting a B swap that's going to be at least 2k. Doesn't make much sense?

 

What's your budget?

 

gsr, but you'll need a budget of 1800-2000 on the low end.
