Hey guys! New to this forum and ultimately fairly new to driving civics and swapping. I currently own a 98 hx coupe. Bought it off of a guy who was the only owner and completely honda serviced. I really want to perform a swap and make this car a little bit more fun. I am currently serving in Afghanistan, so i have a little time before anything is done. Ideally, I would like to run middle 12's to low to mid 13's, N/A(if possible), but still be a drive around car. If these aren't feasible just let me know and give me some advice on what I can do. I have doing alot of looking and a lot of people have been addressing the H2B swap. What kind of mods would I need to attain my goals and also for fitting this into the car. Thanks for reading and any help would be greatly appreciated! God bless.

 

you have a lot of research to do. middle 12's is a lofty goal on an out of the box swap. k series may be your friend.

 

With these cars being so affordable, I'd buy another for a DD and track the one you want. You won't like driving every day without an AC or heater, carpet, sound deadening, etc...

Thanks for your service, and good luck! (I agree, a larger engine like a K series for the drag car)

 

Well, I appreciate the honest advice. I'll have to do some more looking then. I just wasn't sure where to start or what to expect from the various types of swaps. What would a H2B or even a K-series run in my car anyways? Just out of curiosity. What kind of tuning, fabricating, ect. would i have to do to achieve like mid 13's?
