i want to put an acura motor to my 09 civic. but i dont know should i make it manual or keep it automatic? and should i got with and acura motor or a SI motor????

 

If you're going to do swap do it manual.. and I'm not too sure about the finer differences of a Type-S motor and an Si, but you might as well get the cheaper one because they both make power.. The Si motor most likely will have lower mileage tho..

 

It's brand ****ing new

Just sell it and buy an SI

 

 

do you know a single motor that is in an acura??? you could be talking about an old integra motor for all we know.

 

yo *****s y'all know if i can put a b16 in my **** i wanna pop vtakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk


someone needs to close the new gen civic forum because its the worst thing on the internet

 

Motor swab??? How dirty can it be...it's an 09.

Is your engine blogging???

 

LOL!

 

I never understood why people buy FG1/FA1's aiming to swap an Si motor into it. Why not skip a step and get the Si to begin with?

And no one use the "its cheaper to do" bullshit. You want cheaper, go buy a hatch and drop a K in it. Or if you want an Si and cannot afford it, wait, make some money, then buy it.

/rant.

 

if ur goin to be an *** about answering the question then dont answer. I want the outside to look like the LXS that it is and i just wwant a faster motor duh do u get it

 

its an 08 acura IDK my boyfriend getting it 4 me but my question is should i go manual or stay auto

 

i wanna keep the LXS look i dont want the SI just the notor

 

thanks

 

Moron....buy an Si that doesn't come in an "Si only" color, peel off the I-vtec sticker, take off the wing and you're set.

 

I have an inkling it's more your parents bought you the car and you can't sell it. So you are going to try to be sneaky by putting an SI motor in it.......


Buy a SI in a color that's not exclusive
Swap out the grille
Take off emblems
Change wheels
Take off exhaust tip

 

Is the MuffinMan right? Or is there another reasons why you think the LXS look is so great?

 

 

MY DAD DIDNT WANT AN SI BECUASE OF THE SUNROOF SAME FOR THE EX SO I GOT THE CLOSES THINFG LX-S. BUT WEITHER WAY WHATS THAT THING YOU GUYS CALL A SLEEPER. IF I RACE I WANT PPL TO THINK I HAVE A STOCK MOTOR NOT ANYTHING ELSE.

 

NO I DONT LIKE HOW THE SI LOOKS. HONESTLY THE COLOR THE BODY, I JUST DONT. BUT WITH THE LX-S NO BODY WOULD EXPECT THAT A GIRL CAN DRIVE STICK AND THINK OF A MOTOR SWAP. WOULD YOU?

 

IM HOPING U CALLEN SOMEONE ELSE A MORON

 

The bodies are identical.

The Si has more added to it.

 

And...if I'm not?!

 

i don't even think he knows what he talking about.

 

little cat, 3 posts in almost five years and you choose the motor swab thread to come out of lurking...now that is funny LOL

 

lulz
