what would be the best engine for a 1996-99 honda civic hatch a b16a b18b b18c b20a h22 or make suggestions

and in the future i would like to add a turbo and manifold and all that good stuff

my modow who cares about looks its whats under the hood that counts

 

modow?? or is it motto?? lol j/k!

It all depends on how much cash you got??

 

i can tell you one thing ....any b-series motor will satisfy you...

 

what are you looking at a sawp for? 1/8-1/4 ? auto-x ? daily driver ? j-spec ? show ? depending on what you want will help you decide on what to buy. Also how much do you want to spend or should i say how much will you spend ?

 

idk how many times i've seen posts like this. search!

but basically it depends on how much your willing to spend, i'd go with a build gsr then turbo

 

if you have the money your best off with a gsr b18c vtec motor its a good motor overall, and if your on a budget get an ls b18b non-vtec, both motors are very good for turbo

whast good for turbo is the b16 i seen a stock bore b16 that ran a 12.3 at the tracks with slicks nothing done to the internal with 12psi of boost due to the gear ratio of the b16a2 tranny

 

Please do a search.

Your topic was very vague and you didn't give us enough info to really begin trying to help you choose a motor.

Think hard about what you want from the car - drag, auto-x, road race, etc.

Do searches under each engine code:

H22A
B18C1
B18C5
D16Z6
D16Y8
B16A, B16A2, Second-Gen B16A
B18B
B20B/Z
D15B VTEC (JDM VTi)

Good luck.
