the reason why I am asking is because I am getting ready to order my engine swap and the company im getting it from says that at this time all they have is 1994 1995 engines so I was just curious as to what kind of quality/ condition, and mileage to expect out of a motor of that kind of age. I just dont want a motor thats gonna have like 100k on it and is gonna start breaking down once i start moding it and racin. what are you guys experience with older JDM motors. This swap will be going into a 1999 Civic EX

 

They are not going to have that many miles on them, they will be sitting in a junkyard for a long period of time. Imports usually do a compression test on the motor before they buy it (I said usually). What motor you getting BTW?

 

I bought a 93 h22a...rumored to be one of the fastest h22a's produced. It started right up...even after the harsh swap and wiring harness crap it went through. I believe it had something like 36k on it.

Got it from Steve at HM. Online

 

ok you just made me feel pretty good man cause thats where im gettin the motor (b18c) from, Steve at HM. thanks
