1990 Si
1990 Honda Civic Htchbk Si: I'm interested in making it a fun daily commuter... I'm just curious as to what I could do to make it that way. I was thinking bolt-ons to the motor, maybe even a new motor. I've loved the B16 for the longest of times (B18 looks like trash) but I never thought about actually trying that... Is it difficult? Time span? Price doesn't bother me much.. I'm looking for a fun challenging project... So your thoughts on something like this would be thanked and appreciated. I'll put up photos as soon as I find my digimon camera. Thanks!

Re: 1990 Si
You like the b16 but not b18..
You don't like a more powerful robust engine?
lol I'm confused.
Anyway it all depends on which versions of said engines you are looking at.
Take a look at this handy dandy thread:

Re: 1990 Si
Question:
What's the BEST engine for my Honda?
Answer:
125cc Honda dirt bike motor. It weighs under 50lbs, revs to 10000rpms, and makes 320hp/liter.
There, now that we solved the question that is constantly on everyone's mind, let's talk about pizza.
Seriously now, the best engine for your honda is WHATEVER YOU CAN AFFORD TO BUY!
If you have $1000, DOHC ZC.
If you have $2000, get a 1st gen b16a. It'll cost that much to get it in.
If you have $4000, get a GSR/B18C1.
If you have $5500, get a ITR/B18C5.
If you have $10K, and no use for your car for a month or two... get a K20.
Edited for the Whiners:
This is NOT a complete list, as there are mini-mes, LS-VTEC swaps, budget/poor man's ITRs, etc. Use the damn search button a bit more religiously.
What's the best engine for boost... the one that gets TUNED properly.
What's the best engine for drag racing... the one you spend the most money on making FAST.
What's the best engine for road racing... same thing.
What's the most reliable engine... the one you MAINTAIN religiously.
What's the cheapest engine... the one that's in your car.
There, hopefully when searched, this thread will pull up so people will stop making threads about stupid crap like "what's the difference between a GSR and a B18C5"...the oil caps.
