here is the situation i have a 93 civic dx and motor is goning out. i have two choices for the swap. first i could get a full integra ls swap prolly around 1500 with who knows what for miles. second i could get a friends ex motor swap with 130,000 miles for 500. i dont think the ex has been beat. a kid in my town ran a 15.6 in his ex with 200,000 miles with an intake and axel back. if i buy the ex i want to put a greddy turbo kit on it and run what ever is possible on stock block. thanks for your help and suggestions.

 

get the EX and turbo it, D series parts are cheep and strong.

 

do you know what psi is safe to run on an ex with the greddy turbo kit

 

anything under 6-7 psi with good fuel management is fine. i would spring for the ls swap though, alot more torque.

 

ls is a pain in the ***. You need to know someone who can do it right. If i was you i would take the ex for now and then save for a b18c thats the best way to go. reliable to, so when u get the swap u wont have to worry about to much going wrong. check out http://www.jdmclub.com they have good swaps. thats where iam going.

 

anyone else

 

you said the motor is going out...drive it till it goes and save your money for a good swap
