ive had my 96 ek for some time now, and am contemplating doing an engine swap. was just wanting some suggestions on which engine would be the best fit for the car?? its an ek3 with a D15B at the moment, ive done some minor mods to it so far. installed adjustable suspension, bucket seats out of a wrx sti and just other lttle bits and pieces. any suggestions would be a great help

 

Depends what your looking for. Full race car.. Daily driver.. Etc.. And how fast you want the car to be.. Budget.. Etc.. Cuz I guess any b-series swap would be the "best fit" for the car since it uses the same motor mounts. But depends what your looking for haha

 

its gonna be my daily driver, just want it to be reliable but with power if i need it aswell. more after mid rrange power rather then pedal to the floor all the time

 

pretty sure this is covered and in a sticky

j swap

 

for a dd I would get a Ls or b20

 

agreed

 

i agree with the ls or b20 sinceive had a few, but the b16 is a nice start as well for something to "kinda" enjoy lol btw tha dude who said you use the same d-series mounts, well thats wrong, for a ek you have to use the mounts from a si

 

Oh God... I know your new and all but this question have been asked like a million times already. You need to do your own research first on motors. If I were you, I would get to know all the B series family. Learn the stamps, the liters, the horsepower, the compression, the torque and which ones are vtec and non vtec engines. Wikipedia has your info and so does online motor websites that sells them.
