If you want a fast engine in your car buy mine.

You can't get a better motor for the price.

**** i know most of you have seen this but just thought i would put it up again.. I'm not really into CRVTEC's and LSVTEC's even tho they do make good power... A sleeved up GSR is good for me... But my friends EK has a CRVTEC in it bored .50mm over with JE 12.5:1 pistons, stock rods, Portflow GSR, Skunk manifold, RC 310's, CTR intake cam and sprockets, an ITR ECU, and VAFC.. His best ET on M&H Racemaster 22x9.5x13 on Bogart Pro4's is a 12.62@107... Not bad for an all motor daily driven EK. It's never been dynoed but hopefully he does it before his new turbo motor goes in. Latez

the b16/b18b/c1/c5 are the most popular swaps for the civic, but if you want a lot of torque and pretty high hp output...put in the extra money for the engine mounts and put in a h22a. i know many will say that it is heavy and wil make your handling suck, this might be true or not but all the people i talk to with this swap are loving it. 156+ pd/ft torque in a light civic will make your car a rocket.
