I have a 95 civic dx and am sick of the shitty 102 hp, is there a pretty good cheap motor out there i could drop in? not wanting to spend a lot either

 

if u wanna go fast u have to pay the price......im not tryin to b an *** but seriously. the only thing that is cheapand fast is the new srt-4......but its a neon, it wont last long b4 it blows a head gasket. .....

 

ok, i get your point, ok what's a good engine to upgrade too, and i'm not talking crazy fast, just a lot better than my stock engine, plz give me engines semi accurate prices for cost and installation

 

***, dide i have no idea. its basically whatever u want. there seems to b endless posibilities. if u want some quikness but no outrageous prices, go with a gsr motor. i think it is a b18c1.

 

If you want cheap, get an LS swap. You won't set any records, but it will be a big improvement on what you have. If you want to spend more money, get a GSR swap.

 

There is a big difference between your motor and the D16Z6 out of the 92-95 Ex/Si's. If you are not ready to take on a swap, just swapping the trannies will make a big difference. You can pick up a decent tranny for less than 300.

 

Good point there top_sh0tta, and either a ZC VTEC or a D16Z6 will swap into your hatch like a breeze. I did one myself and I'm very happy with the motor. If you're in a coupe, i'd recommend getting a B16 or better because of the extra heft to pull around, but for a hatch, getting rid of a D15 for an SOHC VTEC is a good upgrade.

 

if u got a hatch, throw in a h22, put on some nice tires, u be runnin 13 stock

 

cheap swap with more power would be a civic EX d16z6...if you want a LOT more zip...go to hmotorsonline.com and look at a B18B or B16a sirII swap
