Looking into putting my 2000 civic si back to stock. Right now it has stock trans but it's going out and a b18 block... I'd like to get a new trans and engine how much will it run me and where can I get it I find it for an inexpensive price but still reliable also is it obd1 or obd2??

 

it's obd2, but it will be too expensive to the point where it's not even worth the investment of putting a b16 motor back in to sell as stock. i don't think the value of the car would go up enough.

 

how is the trans going out? symptoms?

 

Grinds upshifting into third...and won't downshift into third...its my sink rows and I know it could be repaired but figured it would be easier to just replace

 

Downshift into thrid if I match rpms

 

If you return it to stock keep it.
It will be a significant investment.
IDK how an SI ends up with lesser engines in it unless it was a gsr?

 

^people blow them, and then its a lot cheaper to pick up a $200 b18 and toss it in and sell to the next guy

 

Thats just crazy.... Desecration of the SI

 

Regardless that is what happens.

 

It saddens me when bad things happen to good cars..
Bad Owners!

 

If you're going to swap it, I would look at 2, possibly 3 options
1. Complete B16 longblock and B16 tranny
2. Complete GSR longblock and GSR tranny
3. Correctly built LS/VTEC and GSR tranny

Those engines have pros and cons to each. The B16 is moderately priced and will return the car to stock...which is desirable when selling. The GSR is more expensive (generally) but will give the Si more zip while retaining OEM reliability. An LS/VTEC will be the cheapest option and can be just as good as an OEM swap if built correctly; however, this option is a bit trickier to sell since it isn't an OEM longblock.

Synchro - like synchronize. Not to be pedantic, but it was bothering me.

 

It has ls vtec right now but not done right:/

 

How hard is it to change your b16 to an ls vtec? or would it be better to just buy the ls engine and then get the kit to add vtec
