Default 1988 Honda Civic LX engine B15B2 questions of swaps and upgrades?

I have 1988 honda civic lx. Id like to double check with the trailing arm I know that I can do swap with 90 to 93 interga or 90 to 91 honda civic crx si. Im not sure if I can do some take my 1988 drum wheel I have right now and convert to disk with out any need of swap. Is it possible to install b series to k series into my vehicle type of 1988 honda civic lx?? If so please let me know and my current engine is b15b2. Its okay not very impressive to keep up with crazy traffics in bigger city.

Possible? Yes. Requires deep pockets and even deeper pockets if you are having someone do the work for you. Likely it is cheaper to buy a newer vehicle with the features you are after.

I'm learning and doing good research before I go ahead to proceed the work. I know year 1992 is better and fit for k series engine into that. As for 1988 I am impressed to have that fit into my car and I love the engine. Reminds me of video racing game hell of fun and real life also in my riding experiences. How much would it cost and I will look into deep space requirements which its new to me just learn about today. Thank you. B18 will require the same for my vehicle 1988 honda civic lx?

You would be going through more or less the same steps as any K swap. LHT Performance lists the price for dropping off a car and writing them a check to complete the swap. They are asking $21,995. It can probably be done for less by some other shop but they are the ones posting prices for 100% complete swaps that are fully integrated and functional.

That's lovely and sweet to have k series. I really dream for k series so badly. We all love the adrenaline. I see street bikes on the road and it's legal to drive and super fast. I love 4 wheels in honda. Loved it been looking at thw engine and worked on b18 part of it and enjoyed the time of my life that are so so damn short. One day ill get that happen down on the road enjoying the engine.

Get a street bike. 4 wheels don't feed that rush in the same way.
