Hey all
A buddy of mine wrecked their 2010 Honda Civic. It was a Vtech engine but the car was not an SI model. They are going to get the car checked out later on, and just to have a head start on anything i asked her to hold onto the engine. Before i make any other moves though i was wondering if anyone can help me with this. Her car was automatic. Does that engine fit in my car? What kind of changes would i need to make before it can? Any information on this would be extremely valuable. Hopefully someone can either reassure me that the engine is fine or that maybe im wasting my time.

Also im looking to sell a roll cage. It came with my car and it looks a little custom made so im not sure how much its actually worth. Looks in decent condition. If anyone can help me price it as well i would appreciate the help.

 

My car is an 1988 CRX by the way...noticed i didnt put that in

 

An R18 motor? If so, contact hasport. As far as I know, there's no swap mounts available but I could be wrong.

 

It will certainly require some cutting and LOTS of fabricating. And that's just to get the engine to sit in your car. Now you have to look at axles. And then wire the OBDII engine/computer/etc to your OBD0 car...

Just pass on this one. It's not like it makes that much power anyways lol

 

Heh. That does sound a bit painful. Would I have to do the same if i wanted to drop an H22 motor in it? I know every engine swap comes with certain things that need to be changed. I just dont want to get an engine and find out that i pretty much need to replace most of the car before i can drive right.

 

pass on this engine.

it'll basically be the same process as swaping in a k20/24. but without the horsepower..

h22 swap, look in the faq on how hard it would be.

 

H series does require cutting and rewelding the transmission chassis mount. Also cutting a big hole in the floor for the shifter stuff. But, it has been done, and there are guides to follow.

If you just want something fun and easy, go B series.
